Jamiroquai's fourth album sees them further expanding on their acid jazz sound, incorporating more disco and electro elements.
Featuring the global hits "Canned Heat" and "Supersonic," this fourth album saw the band evolve from acid jazz to a more disco-oriented style, reaching number one in the UK album charts.
Despite the band's significant transition during production, with bassist Stuart Zender leaving the band, the album as a whole seamlessly blends their traditional groove with a newfound danceability. "Canned Heat" stands out with its uplifting strings and dynamic rhythms, reaching number four in the UK and number one on the US dance charts. "Supersonic" is another dance track that gained popularity in clubs, and features a diverse range of tracks, including the mid-tempo "Black Capricorn Day" and the profound ballad "King for a Day." Along with its UK number one success, this is an important album that heralds a new chapter for the band.
