Jam with Jamiroquai
By N. RAMA LOHAN

Hang on to your pacemakers as Jamiroquai burns some rubber at the Sepang International Circuit this weekend.

JENSON BUTTON ace-ing the Australian Grand Prix is now history. All eyes are trained on the 11th Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix at the Sepang International Circuit this weekend when the first twilight race goes under way at 5pm. If for some strange reason the action on the circuit doesn’t get the pulses racing, then the entertainment in store for race day on Sunday – Grand Prix Party – is sure to ignite the senses.

American R&B band Naturally 7, hip hop act Maliq & D’ Essentials, DJ outfit Twilight Actiongirl and international funk-rock phenomenon Jamiroquai are all slated to scald the Sepang turf (at the helipad area outside the circuit) with high-octane entertainment.

Headliner Jamiroquai, with its sixth studio album Dynamite tucked under its belt, will shake the foundations for 90 minutes with its potent amalgam of funk, disco, acid jazz, rock and pop. Now a certified multi-platinum act, with over 21 million albums sold worldwide from a career spanning 17 years, the British band is expected to serve up numerous chart-busting hits and album tracks from Dynamite and classic albums like Emergency On Planet Earth, Travelling Without Moving and A Funk Odyssey.
Jay Kay: ‘It’s going to be great and I’m really excited to be here to watch the race.’

The Manchester-formed band arrives on Malaysian soil with an entourage that includes its enigmatic frontman Jay Kay (vocals), band members Matt Johnson (keyboards), Rob Harris (guitar), Paul Turner (bass), Derrick McKenzie (drums), Sola Akingbola (percussion) and a small troupe of backing vocalists.

During a press conference on Wednesday, the effervescent Kay enthused over the potential of catching an F1 race in this part of the world. “It’s nice to see everything jigged up ... to see the less-established names amongst the more established ones. I think it’s all good. It’s going to be great and I’m really excited to be here to watch the race.”

The band began its illustrious career as part of the acid jazz movement in Britain in the early 1990s, a time that spawned the likes of the Brand New Heavies (which incidentally Kay had unsuccessfully auditioned for before forming Jamiroquai), Incognito, Galliano and Corduroy, among others.

And as the name implies, the band’s early material possessed an improvised quality (jam) while the second half of the name is based on the native American tribe Iroquois (iroquai). While Jamiroquai’s early output seemed an earthy blend of tribal and acid jazz elements (the band had a dedicated didgeridoo player), the band’s sound somewhat evolved over the years to a more sophisticated, urban, disco-inflected vibe.

The band’s last three albums, Synkronized, A Funk Odyssey and Dynamite, captured this transition perfectly. These albums may have alienated some fans but they have certainly garnered new ones, too. Kay admits, though, that an artiste has to be true to himself first and foremost.

“It’s difficult because you do what you want to do but you also have a huge fan base who likes the first album, in which there is more of an organic, live feel. And there are also people who like the fourth and fifth albums, which are more electronic and programmed.”

Now relinquished from its Sony Music contract, the band’s upcoming seventh studio album is expected to be released later this year under Columbia Records.

“This is going to be a fresh start for the band, with a slightly different sound. Now we are going back to the older style, with a lot of brass in it ... not necessarily retro. It’s difficult to change your style. Besides, I think the style comes from the voice. But this is certainly something we are looking forward to,” he added.

Kay counts his blessings for being able to continue doing what he loves to over the years. “I’m quite lucky to be still doing this for 17 years now. I think a lot of bands do things for three or four years and you don’t hear of them anymore. But it’s hard work and it’s paid off. And it’s because of the great people out there who like music.”

A watershed moment for the band occurred with its super-smash single Virtual Insanity, a tune that perfectly encapsulates the dawn of the Internet age. The Jonathan Glazer-directed video (a certified classic) bagged four awards for the band at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards.

As much as Kay has attempted to deflect attention from himself as the main force behind the band, Jamiroquai is often recognised as a vehicle for his immeasurable talent, which includes his unorthodox dancing – a Michael Jackson-meets-Peter Crouch (yes, think robot crane) jig that has become a Kay staple.

And speaking of vehicle, what better way to celebrate race day than with a true automobile aficionado? Kay is a sportscar fanatic and has amassed an impressive collection of wheels (40 in total), with Italian manufacturer Ferrari striking a particular chord with him. Even a recent incident where a hotel chef wrecked his £1mil Ferrari Enzo (the inspiration to his song Black Devil Car) – leaving the skateboarding enthusiast with a hefty £30,000 bill – won’t dampen his spirits come race day.

And when he’s speeding down the highway, what does the man listen to? “It’s a little known fact I’m a bit of a classical fan. But it can vary from anything from Blondie to Earth, Wind and Fire. A bit of rock, a bit of jazz ... some Coltrane and Charlie Mingus ... a really eclectic mix of stuff.”

Jamiroquai expects to kick off a world tour early next year in the Asian region where the singer finds the weather more suitable during that period.

“It’s just too cold to do it in Europe then and we like to follow the sun. We like to start in the Southern Hemisphere and then work our way upwards to when the temperature is more sensible,” he quipped.

Hoe staat het ervoor met het nieuwe album?

Jamiroquai sign to Universal Music and new album/tour in 2010
_{Added on Tuesday 25 August 2009, 07:38 (BST)}

In an interview broadcast on the playvbz.com website on Monday 24 August, Jamiroquai drummer Derrick McKenzie revealed (confirming newspaper rumours from many months ago) that Jamiroquai have signed a deal with Universal Music.

He also said that the band have recorded more than 40 new tracks - although don't expect to hear them all - only a selection of the 'best' tracks will make it onto an album.

Most of the new tracks have been recorded live - i.e., all the band in the studio playing together, and not just invidual tracks layered on top of one another. There's a couple of disco tracks recorded, but expect to hear a kind of soulful, funky sound with horns, strings, etc.

The new album is expected 'middle of next year, which is to coincide with a tour.'

The interview was broadcast as part of a two hour radio show and most of the show is currently available to download from the Jamirotalk.net website (link is on page two of the forum thread).

Please be aware that dates are subject to change - so here's hoping that we don't have to wait almost another year for the album!

We're delighted to announce that Jamiroquai's new album 'Rock Dust Light Star' is to be released by Mercury Records in November 2010!

It's the 7th Jamiroquai studio album and the first in 5 years.

We think at a time when many acts are producing electronic, disco influenced tracks, with 'Rock Dust Light Star' Jamiroquai has moved on, adopting a more organic, live sound. The shift really helped revitalise the band who ended up producing a superb album - even if we do say so ourselves! We hope you all agree as you get to hear it.

Jay says, "Everything on the record is live. It's a real band record. The last, album - fantastic - but the whole thing became a little sterile. This time we've captured the flow of our live performances'.

The album has been recorded mainly at Jay's home studio in Buckinghamshire, at legendary Hook End Manor in Oxfordshire, and Karma Studios in Thailand. The album is entirely written by Jay Kay and the band, and produced by Jay alongside first time collaborators Charlie Russell and Brad Spence.

The first taster of the album will be the rattling groove of 'White Knuckle Ride' (in the UK this will be available only on strictly limited edition vinyl prior to the album). It's a hi-octane retrospective on Jay's career experiences - a cautionary tale equally applicable to anyone's life in these pressure cooker times. This will be followed by 'Blue Skies', an epic, blissful, sun-kissed Californian mid tempo song with lush string arrangements and perhaps Jay's most emotive vocal to date - pure class.

Make sure you comment and tell us what you think on www.jamiroquai.com.
