Decked out in a brand new LED headpiece, Jay Kay strutted the stage at the Roundhouse on Friday with a pair of twinkling toes that belied his 47 years of age. Sporting black flares, a tracksuit top and a little extra padding around the mid-section (he joked he’s releasing a fitness video this Christmas), his lithe dance moves were as on-point as his razor-sharp vocals. No mean feat considering Jamiroquai's debut 'The Emergency On Planet Earth' dropped 24 years ago.
Having released new album ‘Automaton’ earlier in the day, it felt official. Jamiroquai were back from a seven-year absence and the queues around the block of the venue exemplified the anticipation that had been building since the start of the year. And for a band that has often been derided as one-dimensional white funk, it was a little surprising. Who thought that Jamiroquai would be considered bastions of cool in 2017? But here we were. A show that sold out in 60 seconds, fans gagging to get into the venue and the praise of some very cutting-edge artists. |
