Jamiroquai's fusions sound more fully realized with each outing, which makes its patchy songwriting forgivable.

No-one with ears can deny Jason Kay's musicality--he's an extraordinary singer, and proves it here.

Why is there such a tonal shift right in the middle of the tracklist before going back to acid jazz again
