Jamiroquai

Jamiroquai are back! Well, will be very soon. The upcoming release of lead single 'White Knuckle Ride' and album 'Rock Dust Light Star' (No, I'm not sold on that title either...) signals a much needed comeback. I really hope both the album and subsequent singles do well critically and commercially, because I'm sick to death of hearing horrendous music climbing the charts. Having a UK number 1 doesn't seem such a great achievement any more, considering the heaps of unmitigated cack that have topped the charts in recent years. The single may not be out yet, but thanks to the brilliance of the internet, you can listen to it here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSNWqyAoNqM

I've listened to it a couple of times, and I must say, I do like it. It seems to have found a good middle ground between their older material and the kind of music that is being released to great success nowadays. For me, it isn't particularly amazing, but it's good all the same. If the rest of the album hits this standard, we could be looking at one of the best albums of the year. I remember the good old days, before I even knew anything about music, and the only music I ever listened to was Jamiroquai, or the first Gorillaz album. Those were good times...then came Madness, Queen and Green Day, and so the weird eclectic music taste of mine began. Strange.

The single 'White Knuckle Ride' will be available on October 4th
