I like jamiroquai but every time I listen to them, I am reminded of Stevie wonder and I end up listening to him.

Every time I step on the moving walkways at the airport I think of this video. Sometimes I even bust a shitty little moonwalk.

Great band, glad you’re enjoying them. The lead singer JayKay is a really cool dude with a big car collection. They did some award winning videos too.

I'm not surprised they got a few awards for their music videos, it's clear they put alot of work into them

I could send you down a rabbit hole of other music from the mid 90’s in that same vein….

I’ll just say: Groove Collective’s self titled debut album, Brooklyn Funk Essentials’ debut album “Cool and Steady and Easy”, Brand New Heavies “Brother/Sister”, throw in some Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, Massive Attack, DJ Krush…

You’re welcome.

Jamiroquai is great. Check out Rock Dust Light Star.

Oh my god, Cosmic Girl is great and has such a cool video too.

Canned Heat may still be my favorite, thanks to Napoleon Dynamite for turning me onto that.

steve_man_64 t1_jcdqfu5 wrote

Assuming you’re from the US, I recall hearing something about they had one big album in the US, but then ran into legal issues or something afterwards, so they weren’t able to push the momentum. I don’t remember the exact details.

societymike t1_jceikui wrote

I am assuming it's more of an age issue, as I was well into adulthood in the 90's, they were HUGE in the US.

Shame, they deserve the extra popularity

Dude's got a garage full of Ferraris, don't think he's losing sleep. I wouldn't describe them as chill, though.

My absolute favourite! Never fails to lift my mood

I was looking to see if this was mentioned. Virtual Insanity is great, but I think Little L is Jamiroquai at his best.

It's a fun one to play bass on, a perfectly fine tune. But the 2-7 equation is on a plane unto itself.

Canned heat is my fave, had a housemate in early 00s was obsessed with them, groovy stuff good for chilling out.

You have never heard of it because you obviously weren't between 15 and 50 years old when the big hit was all over MTV and the radio

First album is best

Acid jazz, check out Brand New Heavies too

beauford3641 t1_jcfaz4j wrote

I love Jamiroquai. And they're a fantastic live band! OP, if you're a fan of them, you might like the Brand New Heavies and Incognito. They were part of the acid jazz grouping of bands, and Jamiroquai was also part of that movement. Buckshot LeFonque was another. And you can probably put Digable Planets into that category too. Then there are Neo Soul artists like Jill Scott.

I listened their songs in the 90s and I loved them a lot. Do they still produce new singles or albums?

The keyboardist is so cool : now that he's rich and famous, he's producing free videos to teach music.

Travelling Without Moving is the BEST SELLING funk album of all time.

It came out in the 1990s. Let that sink in, and then go buy the album...and let it sink in!

I actually enjoy them as an adult. As a kid I always laughed at the videos and thought the singer looked stupid with that big hat.

Now, I think they made really good funk music.

If you like their music watch their videos. Virtual Insanity blew my mind when it came out. It was so amazingly done.

The reason you never heard of them before is because it's fucking JAMIROQUAI. They have some pretty good songs though

Ripper33AU t1_jcf9nvo wrote

I don't think he started it, but Jamiroquai was one of the biggest artists that brought the disco revival in the 90s. If you're into something funky, I recommend also checking out Moloko.

i was jamming to them about twenty years ago and i thought i'd introduce them to my group of friends.

I was like, "yall got to check out this band i found, jam-er-row-key!"

they were like, "who?!!"

"jam-er-row-key!"

they were like, "juh-meer-oh-kai??!?"

took a minute to live that one down smdh

I remember hearing them for the first time in a "new age" store, the staff was allowed to play their music. I kinda miss stumbling organically into something awesome like that.
