Summer solstice pairs well with Jamiroque's 'Dynamite'.
(20 June 2005)
Jamiroquai's sixth album, 'Dynamite', released in 2005, continued their vibrant blend of acid jazz and funk, with pop and electronic embellishments, showcasing the band's signature sound heavily inspired by '70s soul, R&B, and disco music. Whilst the album may not break new ground like some of their earlier works, such as 'Travelling Without Moving', it certainly embodies the adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" for the most part. As expected from a Jamiroquai album, 'Dynamite' exudes infectious, funky, and groovy dancefloor energy, with highly polished production (perhaps a bit too polished at times?), making it still stand out in their discography, in my opinion. Tracks like the title track, "Feels Just Like It Should", "Time Won't Wait", "(Don't) Give Hate A Chance", and "Seven Days in Sunny June", to name a few, captivate the listener with catchy grooves and highlight Jay Kay's prowess as a frontman and vocalist, channelling a Stevie Wonder flair. Frankly, my only true criticism of 'Dynamite' is that it does suffer from the infamous "loudness war" at times, resulting in an overly compressed sound with little room for the music to "breathe", compared to their previous albums. Nevertheless, some tracks are undeniably classic bangers that compel you to dance uncontrollably, thus I may forgive it for that!
