Jamiroquai: Planet Earth
built 627 days ago
Synkronized, the new Jamiroquai album, won't overwhelm you with surprises. The first single, "Canned Heat," is a frothy disco retread, complete with a swirling string section, and "Planet Home" lifts a distorted bass line straight from the P-Funk songbook.

Jamiroquai released Emergency On Planet Earth after signing with Sony Records with an 8 record deal. The LP topped the album charts in England and the band was a success in their homeland - making them the top selling debut British act of the year. Other tracks on the LP include "Too Young Too Die" and "Revolution 1993."

"In the years since, a series of personal dramas became creative fodder, resulting in a set of songs that offer a pleasant shift from the retro-funk dance sound that has been Jamiroquai's calling card for nearly 10 years. Between such turntable-ready dance jams as 'Feel So Good' and 'You Give Me Something' are the confessional 'Picture of My Life' -- with its delicate acoustic guitar lines -- and the meditative, Latin-brushed 'Corner of the Earth.' First single 'Little L' is No. 10 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music: Club Play chart this week."
