Jamiroquai A Funk Odyssey Sony vinyl record Hot Picks

2xLP reissue of 2001 classic.
Jay Kay’s powerhouse of crossover Brit funk maestros never stayed in one lane, but progressed from album to album without missing a beat. On 2001’s A Funk Odyssey, they folded some explicitly floor-focused house and disco ingredients into their soul stew and came up trumps, smashing the hits out while staying true to the elevated musicianship they marked themselves out with in the beginning. There are monster hits like ‘Little L’ and cheeky bangers aplenty dotted throughout this pearler of an album, and despite how long ago it came out, it hasn’t aged a bit.
