'Automation' - Jamiroquai

When we thought we'd never see Jay Kay, his dance moves and signature attire again, the Jamiroquai frontman and his crew are back with their first album in seven years, Automation.


While keeping that same soul and funk vibe they have always been known for, the album plays with more modern technology. The first two songs, "Shake It On" and the title track, sound like the London band have been taking some notes from groups like Kraftwerk and Daft Punk. However, as you make your way through the record, they go back to their roots with bass-soaked lines and hip-shaking tempos. The closing tune, "Carla," "Summer Girl" and "Cloud 9" have that throwback feel and will be regular plays at dance parties. Meanwhile, "Superfresh" is that track that can appeal to all generations and will be the best energy pickup for any soiree that's starting to lag. It may have taken Jamiroquai to come back with a new record. But after this one, taking their time was definitely the best course of action toward making new material.
