Jamiroquai Are Back

After a five year break, Jamiroquai will release new album Rock Dust Light Star on November 2010 through Mercury Music Group.

Jay Kay and his band are back to reclaim their crown as one of the UK’s premiere musical exports with their 7th studio album, the first in five years and their debut for Mercury Records.

In singer Jay Kay’s words ‘Everything on the record is live. It’s a real band record. The last, album – fantastic – but the whole thing became a little sterile. This time we’ve captured the flow of our live performances’. The album has been recorded mainly at Jay’s home studio in Buckinghamshire, and also at legendary Hook End Manor in Oxfordshire. The album is entirely written by Kay and his Jamiroquai bandmates and produced by Kay alongside first time collaborators Charlie Russell and Brad Spence.

The first taster of the album will be ‘White Knuckle Ride’; available only on strictly limited edition vinyl prior to the album, it’s a hi-octane retrospective on Jay’s career experiences - a cautionary tale equally applicable to anyone’s life in these pressure cooker times. This will be followed by lead single ‘Blue Skies’ (released November), an epic, blissful, sun-kissed Californian mid tempo song with lush string arrangements and perhaps Kay’s most emotive vocal to date.
