This man is a songwriting genius. If anything, what you most notice is that he has become calmer and wiser. Obviously he was having a little cold, he's only human, and BTW, he stopped drugs more than a decade ago. And he is still handsome.

[@thrilla1000]

he is not wasted, he is an artist, he describes his work, he looks like he works hard and he loves it

[@sableoverton4115]

I love Jay Kay and his music. Jamiroquai is good for the soul. Thx for posting.

[@miertjie94]

This guy is someon who is aging great! Blissfull aging, staying creative, working his mind. So awesome to see someone a little older not growing tired of life

[@gustavoinfinito3841]

His british accent is so cool to heard,he have brasilian raices :),he looks like his father luis,sadly that he never learned to talk the portuguese and spanish would be interesting see jay talking on portuguese or spanish,¡but who cares!..i mean he always has been present his father and brasilian music in their songs like:music of the mind,scam,stillness in time,supersonic,corner of the earth (bossanova),half the man,this guy is amazing.

[@samdavey8481]

Jay is so unique. Whether that is drugs or alcohol or whatever. Who are we to tell him what to do he's 44 now!

[@weltmeisterbayernmunchen6308]

props for keeping the funk alive

[@phish100123]

this man is an absolute legend in many ways!

[@AlexaGueiros]

Yes I thank so. Jay I LOVE YOU ... all of your group We from Brasil We missed you a LOT. Please come back ... we prayer for you live forever!

[@Witshyperbass]

funny when he says at the end "yeah i mean, there will be another album along, it wont be, it wont be a huge gap no" 5 years later still waiting Jay

[@MissSaphrynTownsend]

Witshyperbass new album is out now. Wooooo

[@bobbyballou49]

Jay Kay the legend!

[@francemary1863]

Always to see and hear him. This interview in 4 parts is very intersting; he is a great artistic personality, a real creator. Talent and charisma. Soon on stage in 2023?

[@dawns7651]

Yes. Playing 2 festivals in the UK 2023

[@francemary1863]

I will see him in the théâtre antique of Orange on September 2th🙃 🤗 ! Hello from France🙋‍♀️🇨🇵

[@coopsman98]

His latest album is my favourite cos it adds a little bit more rock some power and it's just awesome!

[@daysturn1971]

The older he gets the sexier he gets........ain't fair.

[@Sydwal1523]

He has been clean since 2004, actually. The last three albums have been a shining beacon of musicality in a sea of mediocrity where non-talent 'celebs' rule. Have you actually listened to the band's recent output? It's extraordinary. Keep listening to Cheryl Cole.

[@mikeyoung7660]

Very talented bloke

[@Luvie1980]

I still want to marry him.

[@GreenerHill]

He was beaten up, and he cried.

[@SurahOnline]

GreenerHill 😂😂😂 lmao

[@Blueskies2513]

I hops they upload the unreleased songs

[@silviaricciarelli7041]

BELLISSIMO JAY KAY , SEMPRE IL SOLITO JAMIRO

[@w210black]

Hi voice is amazing

[@davidcastropena3477]

JAY KAY ea el mejor !!!!!!!!!!!

[@KuroMicra]

It's a shame really. I'm a huge Jamiroquai fan and have listened to them throughout the years as band members came and went. It seems to be fashionable now to lambast Jay Kay St every turn. Whether it's his party lifestyle or his predilection for exotic Italian sports cars. It's almost like people genuinely want people to fail. And then to refer to someone's drug use, maybe recreational or a genuine addiction. If I don't (and I don't) like Justin Bieber, the last video I would wish to seek out on KZbin would be one of his, ahem, tunes. Come on Jay. Time for another album and tour??

[@angelikakolm702]

Sehr sympathisches interview von jay kay

[@lica8182]

legend

[@jimbrown341]

3:39 ... "There will be another album, it won't be a large gap". Little did he know that it would take another 7 years for them to make another album after Rock Dust Light Star. I'd call that quite the large gap! Their music is too good to have long periods of nothing.

[@speakintothemicb]

He looks very good for his age.

[@suzanajordan9279]

Srodna duša...

[@Kurabuman]

He kept it alive, didn't "copy" it. It's like saying Lil Wayne copied Tupac.

[@bloophero]

Never interview when you're hungry, you'll end up with lots of food analogies! 😆

[@elbaponce7372]

Esta entrevista es actual?

[@GreenerHill]

Just saw that terrible incident on video where Jay Kay got beaten up. He'd been smoking, and you can see his cigarettes come tumbling out of his pockets, the matches igniting and burning his leg. He cried because of the beating AND the matches. Big baby. How his breath stank!

[@Joakko27]

"there won't be a huge gap" three years and counting xD

[@PunyMortal]

What are you trying to imply! the only thing that's old here is your comment d:

[@tiny6912]

High as a kite.

[@miertjie94]

Yeah he totally seems unhappy and lonely. Cough sarcasm lol

[@woody231979]

He doesn't look like a junkie. He looks like he is 42 years old.

[@exemplaryname]

He could use a visit to a barbershop.

[@laurence.MusicAndSights]

Hé had a very bad cold during the interview and stopped cocaïne in 2013...but watch his last interview in 2022. 53 years old, looking younger than here...a survivor...As gifted supernatural as David Bowie who I chéris dearly for other reasons

[@winifred242]

He and his band copies American 70s music.

[@Tails7212]

Who else we keep it alive?

[@mariesalas]

I know he probably has the best parties with lots of hot people, etc...but he always seems like the loneliest person on the planet. Btw...Hard drugs, smoking, and hard liquor will catch up to you. Take it easy Jay, we don't wanna lose you before your time.

[@winifred242]

He did copy. You would have to hear old songs to realize that his songs

[@kezadrone]

A F**K, he's done that T dropping thing they all do, Elton John did it , Jack Osbourne's another one you know, can I have a glass of wohder not water. Uggghh. Sounds so wankish. Love his work though.

[@racheljayne3501]

I noticed that, but tbh I'm a Brit living across the pond, and if you try keeping the "t" in words, nobody can understand you. Drives me nuts, but it's the way it is. I once asked for some waTer and was told "sorry, we don't sell samosa's"! :-(

[@kezadrone]

Rachel Jayne They seem either rather stupid over there or just arrogant.

[@illostr8]

+Rachel Jayne then you probably can't stand Americans that speak english in an American accent ,right ?

[@tojucomedianxl8305]

coked out of his knickers

[@winifred242]

Where pretty much the same. It's so obvious to me and a lot of others who can tell that hes biting.
