[@HarvestingThings]

So Jamiroquai has been gone for like 2 decades and comes back with this masterpiece. Oh god yes

[@HarvestingThings]

Star Predator Ita wait what? Did he release something in 2010??

[@djedd23]

lol

[@JamLightman]

2 decades?? ...you was in a coma???? man, please use google.

[@Strike342]

Also Jamiroquai isn't a 'he'

[@giga_Lion]

bit rude

[@AlexW14]

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

[@5t3r3054x]

Sometimes I wonder if Jay Kay would ever thought if he and his band were going to be this great

[@MrJohnRenteria]

Listening to this wants to make me cry, my father passed away last month and i was listening to this with him everyday, i cant believe i found the song but i want to thank you for giving me and my dad the memories i enjoyed so much

[@Wykesidefruitmachine]

Your dad had exceptional taste, which lives on through you.

[@mikaelapapazyan6411]

❤❤❤❤❤😢

[@jimsmith3971]

Perhaps your Father is looking down on you from the stars and beyond?

[@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]

One day you will discover that everything is forever, you, your father, this song, this artist and also this video.. Forever and real.. not like in an evanescent dream

[@laurakimball5747]

The lyrics of Virtual Insanity and Automaton fit the world we live in NOW. An incredibly talented band👍

[@tttdssdff2267]

Quite literally, the 2 songs that connect

[@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.

[@Alchemistic88]

"I'm a tomato, I'm a tomato, I'm a tomato..."

[@jdlocotxftw2002]

Actually you could be right. The lyrics of "this is not where I belong, they rule my life from a metal box..." seem to support it. (I was gonna go with "I'm a Tummy Tum, I'm a Tummy Tum" as in we don't do anything but watch TV and get fat, but hey, that's art right)

[@GherkmanProductions]

haha thanks, not frequent someone actually picks up on it

[@locked89]

Yeah? Because jazz/funk=>electronic means "evolution"? REALLY?

[@pxldj]

They always loved Africa Bambaataa, and this song proves it!

[@estebanbuitrago8265]

New style? LOL. Just because he used electronic bass on this song does not mean he has a new style. Wait till the release of the album.

[@issoulescondes3913]

Lyrics : Am I love? Every heart is beating I'm all love Can't you feel me feeling? Take my hand Cold like a junkie I'm an ice cold man (I'm an ice cold) Why am I crying for you? 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 a huge Jamiroquai fan, everyone is always knocking their new stuff I love them either way. They still funky and groovy to me.

[@tejedadude]

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!

[@kitkatpattie15]

Johnny jr bullshit- I'm American and have loved them since middle school. A lot of American music is shit but so is a lot European music. Good is good, talent is talent no matter where you are.

[@michaelnoguera41]

Being American I can appreciate the music from Britain and abroad. I got all of groups jams and love their progression into different musical tones. This is the next step with nostalgia sprinkled on top. Trust me we are out there and welcome "Automaton!"

[@francescopiccolo6158]

Johnny jr

[@JoshuaJadeMcCoskrie]

Johnny jr "fuck America" ?? I'm not even American and I can respect the fact that a country with over 300million people is going to have some mixed opinions. If you're not trolling I feel sorry for you.

[@chantae13]

Well, this one American here has always gotten them. Back in '96 when i was at my University i met an American girl who lived in Germany and she introduced me to Jamiroquai and i have been a fan ever since.

[@BestofBritten]

a track that gets better the more you listen too it so glad they're back can't wait for the album, it's been far too long

[@zZAD]

it really grows when you relisten.

[@carrollwoolery87]

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?

[@MitsubishiEvoXFQ]

It’s almost the end of 2022 and I’ve heard this song for the first time and it’s literally one of the best songs in the history of history.

[@thegrimyeaper]

It's like it gets more fresh with each year. Kind of amazing.

[@MrDJJAH]

Where have I been? I just found this song (Feb of 2023). "Dynamite" was the last album (CD) I bought and that seemed recent to me. I checked and that was from 2005!!!! Geeezzzz! Absolutely obsessed with this song and it has reignited the Jamiroquai fire in my heart! ♥

[@scopex2749]

Jamiroquai are radically OUTSTANDING and dynamically electric - SUPERB. First time I heard this. JK used to live round the corner from me great guy - used to see him out in his Ferrraris. Im voting for JK as our next PM! Who is up for that?

mea culpa...until now, the act was widely recognized as belonging to an solo artist...i can see now that it is listed as a band...cudos ;)

[@leependragon9400]

3:27 got to be the last time Jay kay danced like this, and never will again sadly :( miss the days of high jumps and fancy footwork.

[@The01Lawliet]

He has the stamina to do it , the only thing stopping him is his back injury

[@whodat1967]

He can still dance like that, believe it or not

[@Annye888]

[@Blueskies2513]

He's still got canned heat in his heels!

[@thomasriishansen3152]

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.

[@SantaFeSuperChief1]

Agreed, my respect for MJ surpasses that of all other artists, but Jamiroquai is inching ever closer as time goes by.

[@YTOxygenLess]

This was literally everything i was hoping for in the first song release. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Awesome futuristic sound and funky beat too. So damn awesome.

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.

Perfection!

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.

[@mikelykan.9416]

Jamiroquai's gone all Experimental and i like it. Hopefully the rest of the new album will be.

[@otakulogy]

they were always experimental, since the very first song

[@bryanwhellams9057]

only in the sense of experimenting with plagarism. nothing in any of their music has ever taken things one step further than what has been done before and this is no exception. give me sly, stevie or george over any of their output any day.

[@Wildstyle_aus]

Bryan Whellams this just in, Acid Jazz sounds the same as this. Besides, according to your logic they're now 7 steps ahead ;)

[@therozza7]

Whellams - Stallone, G and Takei?

[@MattyB-ee]

I don't think this is experimental. I don't mind it, but it's hardly breaking any boundaries. The synth lines are straight out of the 80s. Or the early 2000s electroclash. I've been listening to space cowboy again. That was an amazing album, a great sound.

[@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.

FleaKobain oh wow I remember him from way back in the day when I was in HS (mid 90's) and they were played a lot on MTV and I never realized it was the name of a group.

they were on holliday, these guys only need one album every 10 years haha

Truth! Quality not automated quantity!

[@elainesilva7670]

Keep watching well into 2024 and the music still moves us ❤

[@Trusteft]

One thing I can say about Jamiroquai, no matter what album of theirs I listen to, it feels fresh even today. They are fun, they are not boring and although I will always connect them to someone stealing my bike when I was a teen, I still enjoy their music like the early 90s.

[@Itzakadoodle]

Not sure about you guys, but I'm getting seriously addicted to this song!

[@RicardoUrquizaMusic]

First time listening: "WTF is this shit, Jamiroquai used to be cool" Second time listening: "Well, it's kinda weird" Third time:" It isn't THAT bad" Fourth time: "I actually kinda like it" Fifth time: "I'M AUTOMATON, I'M AUTOMATON, I'M AUTOMATON"

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. Here I am over 25 yrs later (song is even older) listening to Jamiroquai still and loving every beat..thank you boys for all the "didjital vibes"...good vibes all.

Am I love? Every heart is beating I'm all love Can't you feel me feeling? Take my hand Cold like a junkie I'm an ice cold man (I'm an ice cold) Why am I crying for you? 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)

[@matthewwestinoz]

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!!!

[@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.

[@PaolaEnergya]
