The Music
Jamiroquai is a British acid jazz band that rose to prominence in the 1990s. The group’s sound is a mix of funk, disco, soul, and pop that incorporates elements of rock and roll. The band’s musical style has been compared to that of George Clinton’s Parliament-Funkadelic collective and the late ’70s work of Stevie Wonder.
Jamiroquai was formed in 1992 by lead singer Jason Kay and keyboardist Toby Smith. The band’s first album, Emergency on Planet Earth, was released in 1993 and was a commercial success in Europe, reaching the top 10 in several countries. The album was less successful in the United States, peaking at number 79 on the Billboard 200 chart.
The band’s second album, The Return of the Space Cowboy, was released in 1994 and was another commercial success, reaching the top 10 in several countries and the top 20 in the United States. The album featured the hit single “Space Cowboy”, which peaked at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart and number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The band’s third album, Travelling Without Moving, was released in 1996 and reached number 1 in several countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and Japan. The album also peaked at number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and received positive reviews from critics.
The band’s fourth album, Synkronized, was released in 1999 and once again reached number 1 in several countries around the world. The album received positive reviews from critics and won a Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album.
Since forming in 1992, Jamiroquai has released eight studio albums, two live albums, two greatest hits albums, and two compilation albums. The band has sold over 35 million albums worldwide and has won multiple awards, including two Grammy Awards and three Brit Awards.
