Jamiroquai Rare Interview

Can Jamiroquai predict the future? Front man Jay Kay certainly thinks so! In this rare interview the virtual insanity singer talks about songs that seem to have come true, why it took him a while to understand acid house and how he struggled to be taken seriously in the early days of the band.

[@rodrivinuales4937]

This band for some reason keeps it too real. I always wished they performed a lot more festivals in North America.

[@quewyw9001]

Briliant mind; innovative artist and backing musicians, cannot imagine the world of music without Jamiroquai!!! Timeless music that never gets stale and never gets old!!!

[@naturligtVist]

Indeed! There really is a JQ song for all moments in life ❤️

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

He fails to mention he was the only one under contract to Sony!

[@thegood9]

We are lucky to live in a generation that was and is able to experience the music of Jay and Jamiroquai. Absolutely top notch artist, and an even better person, and supportive of animal rights...a true trifecta.

folks what we see to day: virtual insanity 2021 This is a great Artist, amazing guy Jay Kay... love you

[@houzbizness303]

I love how he ends this interview with the comment about being much more a normal person than the persona that he has to portray to sell music. I like that :)

Great interview with Jay Kay and revealing in a subtle way. Jay Kay and Jamiroquai have an enormous amount of talent.

An 8 album deal...damn..u don't Evan get a one album deal now..maybe a single if ya lucky...hence the music industry kinda sucks now...where have the guys gone who took chances ..what happened to music lovers running the industry more than money grabbing gangsters in suits

[@MarquesJo71]

When you're take a look and listen to all the tracks Jamiroquai have recorded it's crazy that they have made so many consistent hits throughout 3 decades. Testiment to them.

Non c è un brano che non funzioni!!!! Difficile dire qual è il migliore!!! Sono tutti migliori!!!!!

Still love you and hope you guys can get back in the studio and out on the road soon❤

[@007Spadge]

I love his conception of what an Album should be. Without a story it is indeed just a string of singles. The reason I love "Alright" so much is because of that smooth intro and the way it follows and completes "Everyday", of course you don't get that from the radio. The best format to enjoy music is still the album in my opinion. It gives you so much more perspective. And even if Jay Kay would probably deny it, his stuff is on par with Marvin Gaye and Stevie. Jamiroquai came from somewhere, but it will stay forever.

I'd love some thing, "anything" from Jason Kay's tour to South Africa..Civic Theatre or at The Dome stating that he was here in SA🙏 people think that i may have dreamt it..😂 please help!🙏 Cos this dressing room surely looks like The Civic Theatre..🧐🇿🇦

[@jamirocat]

Nice

[@v.a.993]

That he references the James Brown Funky Drummer era as being influential for him...that explains it all.

An interview about the band Jamiroquai where the lead singer really just talks about himself.

[@ArtyYOU2]

Jay IS jamiroquai. He’s not ‘just’ the lead singer

[@tc5111]

Did Jay Kay go to a private school? He has the sort of accent that some of my posh friends have (posh but dumbed downed, slightly mockney).

[@NerdGirlUK]

I saw a video where he said he went to boarding school, I think. (It was a French video with the French translator talking over Jay so a bit hard to hear!)

[@graemefarquharson465]

Yeah, he's quite well spoken guy. Brilliant guy. Love Jamiroquaii

[@Thelavendel]

I always hated him. Still do
