Jamiroquai - Automaton (Official Music Video)

[@lootpack7744]

I love how they hit us with that old school Jamiroquai in the second half.

[@darhenny9193]

Evan Brooks Me too! This track has been perfectly balanced between that futuristic wave at the beginning & that old school disco Jamiroquai at the end.

[@kungfutyla]

yes. i think that's what he wanted.

[@armelleb3393]

I think you two guys are right !

[@theplothickens]

Yep. He's all robotic but in the second half he starts dancing around with that awesome funky bridge.

[@nicholascorbett1932]

I said the exact same thing! That being said, I'm a little disappointed with the lack of groovy bass and drums. Hoping the whole album delivers.

[@AlexW14]

This is an unbelievable blend of synth pop, dance, funk and electronica. Literally a modern classic. Jamiroquai, you did it again!!!

[@lightningtree5432]

Beautiful sentiment. I’m crying listening to it for the first time. It’s hard to navigate this hell with a sensitive heart and foresight (and hindsight) which I believe Jay Kay has successfully done, to enable us to mourn yet maintain a sliver of hope for a displacement of the evil who rule.

[@emmeerre5801]

THIS. When I first listened to EOPE, besides "blow your mind" and "too young too die" I thought all the other songs were "meh". Then weeks later, I was listening to them randomly, and realized how amazing they were! It's like magic!

[@521costa9]

First time listening to this, and after second time this is now my jam. Incredible lol- already played over 50 times

[@Jayurba]

I lived the same experience with the first two albums. You can really tell there is a musical genius when something like this happens.

[@jackcayman]

It's really good, and it has lots of re-listen value. Also the video is really moving it feels like J.K has been trying to find himself or his humanity among all this technological world... somehow takes you back to Virtual Insanity you know?

All this love I felt for you Has gone away to another place I put my faith in a digital world where they've given me Eyes without a face I'd steal the moon, on silver nights Remind myself I am someone My soul is numb and void tonight (I'm automaton) I'm so tough Can't you see me running See I can touch Can you feel me coming? I see the world And cry for freedom These metal eyes, they can't disguise The fact that I (I need something to believe in) But then I'm dying for you I said goodbye to the world I knew And took off into inner space Weren't you the ones who promised me A very different place I've powered up, get my program set And tilt my head toward the sun Inside I know, I'm null and void (I'm automaton) Hey, you got me down underground Getting holed up in my cyber lounge As if I had time to break that down (Automaton) Whatever you can do I can override it Got a million ways to synthesize it Digital android, I can fight it (Fi-fi-fi-fight it out) (Automaton, automaton) (Automaton, automaton) Feel like a man, who fell to earth That this is not where I belong They rule my life from a metal box, that's windowless And I wonder, where it all goes wrong Maybe this dream will stay alive But can the madness be undone? Am I the new intelligence? You know I need something I can hold on to Hold on to You were all I knew (I'm automaton) I need something I can hold on to Hold on to This was all I knew (I'm automaton)

I'm so happy people are criticising this. That means that J and the boys are progressing. I love everything that Jamiroquai has done. Losing fans is part of growth and I don't think America ever really got the band anyway. Fuck America and the music scene there. After several listens I love the tune and the Video is dope with J having a great time dancing and being an overall ham. I can't wait for the whole disc, it will go into my Jamiroquai shuffle. Cheers to Jamiroquai fans around the world, let's get down people!

I have cried like whipped to this song so many times. Being from the late 70s, I think this song is so painful, for all the right reasons. I have a list of at most 10-12 pop songs through modern history that meet this high standard. MJ has a lot of those slots. Jamiroquai is high on that list.

Jamiroquai don't need any collaborations. For this reason I like them

No they are in a league of their own.

These lyrics hits hard to the core of the human experience at the moment. If they don't manage to touch your heartstrings then there is a high risk that your funk has been depleted. Luckily for us Jamiroquai has the remedy for such a utterly unfunky beingness. Looking forward to more of that music. Big love from a Jamirofan out and over in Sweden. Been vibin' to your music since 97/98. I was aged 10 or 11 at the time and I would sit and go through the lyrics over and over again. Learning english in the process. I wanted to understand the meaning behind the words of Jay and how it fitted along to the music which I was heavily grooving to. I drove my parents and siblings crazy listening to all the albums over and over all day long. I would instantly play the album of the time all over again. Jamiroquai was in lack of better words, my first love. I was a Jamirofunkjunky. Sorry for ramblin' a bit here. I had a visit of the space cowboy, ehh.. cheeba cheeba. But anyways, I'm always excited for all the new releases that has come out over the 26 years that I've been a listener.. And this album is great. The hardhitting and catchy lyrics are incredible. So thoughtful and how you could interpret them in a simple way or a deep way. I always go deep myself. Not just knee deep. ;) P-Funk reference. If you don't know well now you know. Peace to you and I will be looking forward to the new body of work that's on the horizon. We'll be arriving there soon and I for one am excited.

This is a natural progression after 7 years. People need to embrace evolution and change...after all it's the reason they are reading this and better still listening to this! It's complex and difficult for some but it's a reflection of where we all are and with a mirror in front of our faces; he's simply telling us what's happening. It's a great piece of modern poetry. And the sonics are bang up to date. Great tune!!!

Never been a fan of Jamiroquai but this is a quintessence of everything that I love in pop/electronica/synth/acid jazz/disco/clubby/trippy sound. It recalls the best of Daft Punk,Chemical Brothers, Air, Metronomy, De-Phazz,Dee Lite, Groove Armada,Koop, LCD Soundsystem, Morcheeba, Sofa Surfers, Stereo MCs & The Herbaliser. All in ONE! Perfection!

[@eltorrogreggo]

Svet Grigoroff Yes, because they both wear special hats ? I know Jamie since several years but a fan of EOTS!

[@eltorrogreggo]

Not that I haven`t tried all his previous stuff . I did but I only liked Deeper Underground. I have quite quirky standards in music. And yes, the latest album blew me away. He did his BEST!

I can remember sitting in my frie ds living room listening to "Blow Your Mind" when I would spend the night and that song still gives me those vibes.

[@mranderson3975]

hell yh.. had a damn good time too

[@isleomull]

A lot of people are saying they don't like how electronic and processed this song sounds and how it's not like Jamiroquai's typical style, but i think that's the point! I think the message is that technology is taking over and it's taken over music - but in the song we hear a little bit of 'old' Jamiroquai breaking through, perhaps suggesting that technology cannot take over everything...

[@Iskander67]

THANK YOU ! Finally somebody understood what is songwriting, and not just being a passive-brainswashed listener like 99% of people nowadays ! This song is contradictory like mankind is today with technology

[@isleomull]

Yeah! Its quite a strange tune! It took me a few times listening to it to get used to it, but as soon as that old Jamiroquai style came into I felt quite nostalgic and I think that's what they were trying to portray.

[@angelcamargo7309]

And in almost the end of the video he grabs his old self (hat) and raise up 4:20

[@isleomull]

+Ángel Camargo I really liked that bit! I thought it was quite sad...

[@TiberiusStorm]

That's exactly what I said in the comments section. It's like there are two songs in one. He's a machine during the verses and he becomes a man in the chorus.

[@ClubdeCampeones]

We must protect everything we love at all costs.

[@reikojons]

When this album came out the whole thing blew my mind, I hope you guys never stop making music

[@Ultramel147]

The more I watch this, ('cause I can't stop), I start realizing he's message is essentially ANTI-technology. The automaton becomes more human, less ''robotic'' as the song progresses. It seems like (I could be wrong here) he was looking for the old school style hat, and when he found it the others like him arrived... It's symbolic, maybe, of a hankering for the old ways, and how Jamiroquai is bringing back those old values through their music.

[@Ultramel147]

*his message not he's message

[@carycorfu9266]

Love the grammar pedantry! Rare these days :)

[@Ultramel147]

[@MrBOBAO7]

Jay Kay said of the new album in a statement, "The inspiration for Automaton is in recognition of the rise of artificial intelligence and technology in our world today and how we as humans are beginning to forget the more pleasant, simple and eloquent things in life and in our environment including our relationship with one another as human beings." www.rollingstone.com/music/news/jamiroquai-announce-new-lp-automaton-unveil-title-track-w463290

[@zezoasmar]

I'm a confessed fan of Jamiroquai, I have almost every album, I've been with the band since the mid-1990s. I listened to Automaton "only" about 30 times and had the sensitivity to find elements in Jay Kay's music and performance that go back to the band's early albums. Eager to listen to the other tracks and get the new disc.
