Jamiroquai's fifth album, A Funk Odyssey, has been described as the band's "most accomplished and varied set to date"... It's almost ten years since Jay Kay first moonwalked onto the music scene wearing his trademark hats and providing a unique brand of acid-jazz, funk and disco - since then his internationally successful band have gone on to shift over sixteen million albums worldwide - and counting!
It was very tempting to cut and paste my two-year-old post about another Jamiroquai track. A couple of years later, Jay Kay continues to shuffle the same set of cards: a funk bassline here, a disco string section there. 'Little L' is distinguished from previous hits mainly by the fact that he'd made it fairly public that this song was aimed at a well-known ex-partner of his, which managed to make him even less likeable than before. It's not a bad record as such, but even when you know he's singing about his real life it's curiously soulless, and never seems to rise beyond pastiche.
