[@IOxyrinchus]

Wow, I did not expect his speaking voice to sound like that, it’s weird how different people’s speaking voices sound to their singing voices. He’s such a cool guy

[@duncan3998]

I always thought he was American till his Brittish accent started talking.

[@michaele1278]

I found his speaking voice to be JUST like his singing voice.

[@violetlabelle5642]

Same. Pretty brit

[@MetalPersonJ]

He sounds like a member of Status Quo. It's brilliant.

[@AnalogOpher]

one of the greatest artists EVER

[@bananaspiel1850]

Have to agree with you.

[@msdsplayground8360]

Still

[@ZenMountain]

Ooookay

[@lyriclennon11]

Bands*

[@NotCharAznable]

@@lyriclennon11Vocals bring the band together. He also does production as well as writing. Not just lyrics but bass lines, etc. Jamiroquai wouldn’t be the same without Jay. The same could be said the other way around as well.

[@rudedoodle]

I remember being absolutely obsessed with them in 1996 when I was 16. Drew the logo on my school bag and folders. So excited about the new album now.

[@neliz2k]

I think you meant 2016 when you were 16?

[@alchemy432thefoolcardmagic7]

Dennis Achterberg nar she's either one of them or she's think as pig shit wearing that black and white Freemasonic top😂😂😂

[@alchemy432thefoolcardmagic7]

she probably doesn't study numberolgy or gematria much she carnt see the 432hz magic number 9 Encoded in the video length

[@nuclearstevex4516]

Did you love it?

[@This_RuthIsOnFire]

Yeah! My pencil case was a shrine to Jamiroquai. I was “that girl who LOVED THE SHIT out of Jamiroquai.” Oh boy, did this band make the 90’s cool.

[@ParadiLenKagamineAbelard]

It's so cool that the beautiful voice has a beautiful person behind it!

[@HaroldHivart]

This guy stinks....

[@CipherSerpico]

vajra1171 That's your upper lip, bro.

[@johnny44speedy]

what about the time he punched a couple of paparazzis? and was kinda in drugs?....oh yeah and drives a ferrari

[@SubArchitectDJ]

Paparazzi are gas lighting assholes. I don't blame him for getting pissed off with them.

[@kantsubaki1]

Even nature conservation activists are going to the work site by cars. Science and nature must aim for harmony.

[@Man_v_Cars]

Looks like Keanu Reeves and Mark Wahlberg combined.

[@SurahOnline]

Oh my God!!! I was just thinking that he looks like Keanu and Mark lmao 😂😂

[@thebelissima64]

simon t Wow, I was just going to post that 😆

[@djspock5150]

Nah I thought he was always The Cat in the hat's twin brother?

[@dapperblue1764]

Simon T You are so right! I always thought that he looked like Mark Wahlberg, but when you said Keanu Reeves that completed it!

[@dapperblue1764]

Mr Polémik Hater!

[@clementine4133]

This is why I always loved them and their music.

[@theself5738]

I’ve been a fan of Jamiroquai since high school, and after a long gap, the song “you give me something” came to me upon waking up one day. I started binge listening to it and others I could sense that his songs are from a totally different dimension. Now I’m binging on “summer girl” and it’s just insane. I truly believe he’s channeling a divine dimension in his songs with a deep message. I recall reading Jay Kay had a near death experience when he was younger which would have made him deeply connected to the divine, spirit, nature, and this earth (even his old songs make sense to me now)... thank you Jay Kay for your genius and for your charisma and cool and hotness. You are hands down one of the most effortless, coolest guys in music history ever.

[@valeriesharp4875]

And still is to this day. He is Unique. Very SPEClAL. Nobody like Jay Kay. His music is incomparable to any other music artist. 😊

[@Blueskies2513]

too young to die is the first song i remember hearing EVER i was like 3 years old, i love the first album so much, i have a ton of nostalgia for it and the songs are just amazing, i love hearing about his early work

[@nikko7507]

Oasis / J Kay & Goldie - Remind of my youth . GOD I’m glad I was a teenager in the 90s what a time. Fabulous times & memories

[@endurablelive]

This man... just.. I feel his pain, which is the pain of Mother Nature. I hear you Jay.

[@harrienelle6471]

Yeah, every time he takes one of his Ferrari's for a spin. Good singer, but a terrible hypocrite...like most 'saviors of the world'.

[@NotCharAznable]

@@harrienelle6471Oh shut up you bellend. Is he supposed to bike everywhere? Everyone has things they like. Acting like he’s Swift flying a private jet from town to town.

[@JamesWoods-yu2kf]

@@harrienelle6471yup.. Fuck em'...

[@audiovisualdcjproductions]

He looks beutiful still (:

[@crazydude2352]

This video is from around 2000, but Jay does still look good :)

[@XX-hw1iw]

He is stunning

[@Erin-uz2gf]

I am a new listener to Jamiroquai. So please forgive me when I say that I had no idea they had that sort of depth to them. I really enjoyed hearing his thoughts on these topics and seeing that he is an aware human being. I don't think it's healthy in large doses at all but I do think doing certain drugs (recreational drugs) can help to broaden your perspective.

[@bertus7227]

Hi, Mr Kay: All my good feelings, when i hear your voice. Space Cowboy, for me, one of the best themes ever. I have no words to define the best of you. Be care of you, and let the world enjoy the magic of your voice, swing, and all the things you have with music. Agree for your music Mr. Kay

[@claudiafv15]

[@VictoriaBitter1976]

His singing voice has been pretty distinctive over the past 25 years. His talking voice is…yeah…ordinary :)

[@x_griffin_x]

Brandon Quatro Eh, it's a good ordinary.

[@CalvinKrek]

Not so distinctive anymore... ask him to sing "Half the Man" today and some other from the beginning... he can't... anyway, I'm looking forward to have Jamiroquai back in Brazil.

[@VictoriaBitter1976]

Looks like he's a pretty heavy smoker, that wouldn't be helping the voice much.

[@NotCharAznable]

@@CalvinKrek He literally still does lol

[@jaxnorthmusic7863]

Legendary figure and ive never heard him talk!! 🙏🏾

[@rachelanne2488]

I always knew those songs were speaking out against everything wrong in the world and virtual insanity was one of the songs that got me into your music when I was younger despite me having other music tastes as well your music is complete unique I don't think I've heard another music artist do this kind of music, keep the political vibes in the music it is important to still do it but I also loved the space theme music too

[@enzolumare5680]

Rachel anne Everything wrong in the world? Such as?

[@MeimeiLovesmusic]

+enzo lumare intentional poverty, racism, classism, sexism, factory farming of animals, slave sex trade, child abuse, elderly abuse, Corp control, Corp destruction of the environment, extinction of species, water, air, soil pollution, wake up ....

[@evilbunny5931]

enzo lumare let's see, poverty injustice isms unnecessary cruelty to Gaia's other children. shall I lost more?

[@valeriesharp4875]

Let's ignite this true message. Globally, across the entire world, very little, if anything has yet changed. We know that love conquers all, yet there is still so much hate. Such indifference instead of acceptance amongst people of this Universe. Repeated wars between countries. The Power struggle among Narcissistic leaders for Greed and ego. Weak and foolish. The list goes on with the wrongdoings of the wicked of this world. The evil is of no good or benefit to anyone or to the universe. An insult to our Creator. ❤

[@theeverydayillusion7790]

I remember being 15-16 years old sitting with my lil teen Clique in a basement smoking weed for the first time listening to Jamiroquai. Still listening to his music being 44 years old I just don't smoke anymore 😁

[@TheFatController.]

Snap! We would sit around on mushrooms or doing bongs listening to the first two albums in the mid 90s. How time flies. Don't touch the stuff anymore either.

[@philtripe]

i thought Jay Kay was a teeny tiny black man or brownish but hes actually a little British guy... really like the new album they have coming out soon(march 31), the few songs ive heard sound amazing

[@coyotelong4349]

Umm... I know what you’re trying to say here, but I’d like to point out there are plenty of black and “brownish” people in Britain too Saying “he’s actually a little WHITE guy” would have made more clear haha

[@xXSCDTXx]

@@coyotelong4349 cmon, you knew what he meant. Native Brits are white guys.

[@anarki777]

Native brits and Irish tend to be quite short compared to other Europeans. It's quite normal for island populations to be shorter in general.

[@coyotelong4349]

It’s crazy how unremarkable his speaking voice sounds... Like an average guy who’s maybe slightly hoarse from a night out or a long day at work or something. Then he sings and blows you away with the silky soulful smoothness and soprano notes

[@Yhan_Sugesta]

he's indeed blow our minds

[@rachelr-j96]

I’m a lot more interested in him now than I was back when the records actually came out. I didn’t get the messages back then but I do now, as a musician myself and someone who worries a lot I understand finally

[@nicolasarias9873]

I bet a million dollars that tus is and will still be the most underated vocalist on music history

[@AUSSIEJOCKSAU]

Great interview. I get who you are now. Thank you for being a stand for us all. Love the new song 😎

[@lilianerman7915]

I love Jamiroquai!! I love all his songs!!!

[@tomisinosabia967]

Jamiroquai is a band btw he's name is Jay Kay

[@whhoisthiss]

I appreciate that he uses his voice for all living things

[@This_RuthIsOnFire]

Emergency on Planet Earth is one of the greatest albums of all time. Change my mind.

[@deansing2405]

i always liked him and it is because of what he says in his music and he did not sell out and he told us our future ...political messages do sell records ...and he should always speak out and be yourself and never be nice...be true to who you are cause it is good enuf and that goes for anyone reading this...we all came here to be who we are not what others think we should be...say fuck it and sing a love song to yourself and appreciate the planet for God sake and consider who you can be the change in your world ..create order and never settle for meanness or cruelty towards you or any living creature,.

[@afrochick9142]

Thanks for being a real Artist that plays real music from the heart.

[@alisonkamphuis266]

Living legend.

[@timwannell6477]

Good man. JayKay the boss

[@kingthomp]

Jay is phenomenal 😍

[@studionekome]

man, you were a prophet in those years! Human being learns... it just take time. And a voice like yours helps. #keepgoingon

[@jarradgray56]

Best unintentional Spinal Tap impression..

[@cricket12ish]

This is like the coolest interview I've seen. So chill

[@GForceVRX]

I love these guys

[@bananaspiel1850]

Appreciate his way of doing things.

[@gusy629]

Jay Kay, The BEST!

[@Wulfcry]

All these songs lit a fire in me down to the ground I felt each one of them they're so relevant than now and on.

[@mandymarshall9220]

I'm with you, completely agree!!.....the cruelty that goes on in this world is disgusting!! Keep doing what you're doing ✌.....the right people are behind you all the way! 🙌

[@heathergittens3223]

I love his funky groove. Thank you, Jay Kay. Jamiroquoi rocks. I also think he looks like Tom Hardy.

[@ericsantiagoaponterojas2390]

Jay kay! I sincerely hope that you read this personally, I am a Latin guy who appreciates and highly values your music since I met your group simply incredible. You're my idol, longing to meet you. I would appreciate in the soul, to help me fulfill my dream. Fondly of Eric. You are the best. Jay Kay! Sinceramente espero que lea esto personalmente, soy un chico latino que aprecia y valora en gran medida de su música desde que conocí su grupo simplemente increíble. Eres mi ídolo, anhelo de conocerlo. Le agradecería en el alma, que me ayude a cumplir mi sueño. Con entusiasmo de Eric. Tu eres el mejor.

[@s2h995]

Eric Santiago Aponte Rojas i dont think he read it....

[@catherinedrew203]

Eric Santiago Aponte Rojas a shame they don't try to read what the fans say. I'm guessing their publicists do this and comments go unanswered and unseen. I hope you meet him one day tho

[@nadurtha8536]

The US establishment hated your boldness JK but your message and fantastic music has never been more relevant!

[@allylou5151]

I loved it....to young to die thought was really good when came out. I was seventeen at time in to my hip-hop and rave ..... thought jamiroquai was different and I liked that.

[@SteelyDanimal]

Nothing says conservation like Ferrari, Cantoni and traveling around the world. Still love ya jK

[@BuddhatheRockstar]

I love this human ... regardless of his gas guzzling car collection.

[@johnpower29]

Jay Kay is so blazed in this interview 😄

[@TheKal1f]

LOl..Always thought his name was "Jamiroquai" forgive my ignorance.

[@poke9051]

Your not alone many ppl do so its nothing to us... but at least you pointed out your mistake... smart.

[@drewarmstrong7863]

My favourite singer

[@kezadrone]

I actually think that the worst thing that ever happened to the world and the best was the internet, just using JK here as an example, a man, an artist that was so appreciated back when he started , and kept out of public reach, now finds a load of deplorables out there on line attacking him, not just this man, but others, and women and causes, you name it, I preferred simpler times, where celebrities where on the TV and in theatres and cinema, they where there to be admired, somehow allowing the public to mix so closely with them now online has diluted that, and blurred the line between famous and laymen,it was better before, everyone knew their places, not now . We have everyone wanting fame in this day and age, and it's preventing real talent getting into the industry, These people have no right to do this. Leave the entertainment to the God given talent like Jamiroquai, and get back to your burger King job.

[@thevis5465]

No, celebrities are just people don't put them on a pedestal like this...

[@numberstation]

I noticed today that my dog had great difficulty passing stools. I’m going to keep an eye on her for a few days, see how she gets on.

[@thetonytaye]

am i the only one who can't help but laugh when jay tries to mimic an american accent? 😂

[@showardnutrition]

Jay thanks for the insight into why you veered away from the message that launched you. It spoke to me then and speaks to me now. I wouldn't agree that you sold out. Your subsequent music rocks my world too. You're a phenomenal artist with much to say. Keep speaking your truth. We love you for it. F the man!

[@SpiralMoss]

Jimarquai is on the ball, a bit like David Bowie he's able to see things pan out, futures made of virtual insanity... Chaos magic... There's only a small percentage of people who have that insight into the future, thinking of the variables and able to observe people's personas and how those people operate... There's strange things done in the midnight sun ⛅
