Perhaps...
I'm still eager to hear the rest of the album...hopefully there'll be tracks on there to redeem FLIS
Jamiroquai were cutting edge back in 96 or 97 because of their live sound. Meaning, the albums had actual live playing on them and not sampled loops etc. The whole Jamiroquai entity was about live music, keeping it real, being down to earth, and everything they did reflected that...from their videos with the band members participating to their live shows which often gave each of the players solo spots. That's why so many musicians, like myself, liked them so much.
But I think's it's fair to say that Jamiroquai have become almost the antithesis of what they orginally set out to be. Now they're this pop band with an effects laiden single complete with vocoded looped bass lines and a bunch of other "ear candy" noises slapped together over Jay's voice. It seems as though their success was what changed them....as Sony sought to make more money off em they've systematically conformed the band to market dictated formula. The result has been the departure of the original genuine musicians and these pre-fabricated, pro-tooled, attention-deficit-disorder messes. I mean if you listen to any of the famous live boots from the TWM era back, Synkronized and AFO is just derivative and pretentious rubbish. Even though in retrospect I think Synkronized was better than AFO.

I heard it in full for the first time yesterday and have listened to it about 4 times since then aswell.
So it may not be the best first single they have released from an album but I think its a grower and I'm still confident the rest of the abum will be ace. I LOVED the 30 second clip I heard of Black Devil Car. |

Bad, bad, real crap. This is no longer the Jamiroquai we loved, the full song is as bad as I expected from listening the 14 sec sample.
It's very commercial, but even if that sometimes means catchy and low-quality-but-enjoyable tunes, this time it's a real boring song with no vibe.
Apart from that, it's obviously aimed at the US charts giving us european fans a kick in the butt, but the song is gonna sink in the charts, it has no soul. |

Not only the intro but the whole bassline 
That's creative? No, that's sad. |

So where are little people hearing the song? has it been leaked or are they playing it on the radio already?
Anyways ive heard the sample and its definatly a grower, which i could say for a lot of jamiroquai music, as it doesn't appeal to masses. But i love the whole guitar thing in the sample, along with BDC sample aswell.
