SPANISH INTERVIEW (ABC.ES) WITH JAY
Hi everyone, thanks to Funkin for this item...

Jamiroquai: «Los ordenadores son para gente perezosa»

BARCELONA. «La gente dice que soy beligerante, pero yo no estoy de acuerdo. El problema es que los periodistas ingleses sólo quieren que hable de mi colección de sombreros, de mis coches... Soy inteligente: no me preguntes sobre cosas insignificantes». Así se presenta el británico Jay Kay, líder y cantante de Jamiroquai y artista conocido por sus desplantes y salidas de tono.

El vocalista de Manchester, de visita en Barcelona para promocionar el recopilatorio de grandes éxitos «High Times. Singles 1992-2006», se muestra tranquilo y especialmente aliviado: con este disco, el séptimo de su carrera, pone fin a su relación con la discográfica en la que debutó hace ya tres lustros. De hecho, se diría que defiende el álbum más por obligación que por convicción. «Es sólo un repaso al trabajo de los últimos quince años. Ni siquiera elegí las canciones», asegura.

Ahora, dice, lo que importa es el futuro. Un futuro que, en su caso, pasa por reorientar su sonido y buscar nuevas vías de expresión, «En el próximo álbum no habrá ordenadores. Los ordenadores son para gente perezosa. Son fáciles de utilizar, pero la música pierde su esencia», asegura el cantante poco antes de arrancarse con un monólogo sobre la pobreza, el hambre y la superpoblación del planeta. «Cuando era joven, pensaba que la música podía cambiar el mundo, pero nada puede cambiar el mundo», apostilla.

The English translation (thx to Google) is...

Jamiroquai: “The computers are for sluggish people”

BARCELONA. “People say that I am belligerent, but I do not agree. The problem is that the English journalists only want that speaks of my collection of hats, of my cars… I am intelligent: you do not ask to me on insignificant things”. Thus the Briton appears Jay Kay, leader and singer of Jamiroquai and artist known by his rudeness and exits of tone.

The vocalista of Manchester, visit in Barcelona to promote recopilatorio of great successes “High Times. Singles 1992-2006”, is specially calm and alleviated: with this disc, seventh of his race, it ends his relation with the record one in which it made debut three lustrums ago already. In fact, one would say that it defends the album more by obligation than by conviction. “It is only a review to the work of last the fifteen years. Not even I chose the songs”, assures.

Now, it says, which matters is the future. A future that, in its case, happens to reorient its sound and to look for new routes of expression, “In the next album will be no computers. The computers are for sluggish people. They are easy to use, but music loses its essence”, assures the singer shortly before taking itself with a monólogo on the poverty, the hunger and the overpopulation of the planet. “When he was young, it thought that music could change the world, but nothing can change the world”, comment.
