Jamiroquai was a band that had finally started to grow on me and I'm happy to say that, I thought they were a dorky pop funk band but over time I've started to enjoy the bands music more, this album is very, very upbeat, it's impossible to be in a bad mood while listening to this album, if you somehow didn't know Jamiroquai is Acid Jazz, an eclectic subgenre mixing funk, disco, jazz and pop and like I mentioned earlier it's grown on me a lot, this band is very poppy, I was very surprised when I saw the song lengths here average from 4 to 6 minutes with an occasional 8 and 10 minute track. The instrumentation here is on point the bass playing here reminds me a lot of Jaco, everything here blends real nicely this is some of the tightest and grooviest musicianship I've heard on a pop record, I highly recommend if your a fan of Stevie Wonder or just want something fun to listen to
