Jamiroquai - Rock Dust Light Star - Release Date - November 1, 2010

Whether or not the future is made of virtual insanity is a matter of perspective, however there is little one can do to argue the notion that Jamiroquai is a unique and valued part of the musical landscape. Their new album is true to the consistent form exercised by this band since their first release in 1993. They have dabbled across genres here and there, but the foundation remains. This album is that jazzy pop we know and love. There are instances of synthesized dance beats, electronica, and blues guitar. Front man, Jay Kay's voice is like honey. There is a certain timelessness to Jamiroquai's work, but if you had to pin it down to a period, I'd say the distant future. The sound is futuristic, but so too are the lyrics which address ever present cultural themes set to metaphors with elements of space travel and physical science. "Rock Dust Light Star" is something I could see someone listening to in the car on the way to work in the morning, or coming through the integrated audio system in their suit during a space walk.
