Following the breakout success of 1997's TRAVELLING WITHOUT MOVING, Jamiroquai triumphantly return to the airwaves with SYNKRONIZED. With a new set of songs, this British dance-pop ensemble sticks to the formula that first started their climb up the charts: singer Jay Kay's elastic, Stevie Wonder-infused vocals; tricky horns; lavish string arrangements, and a soul-funk groove or disco bounce to push the action along. "Canned Heat," the first single, boasts classic disco violins and the sizzle of the ever-present high hat, while a bass line burbles underneath. Throughout, there's plenty of '70s revisionism, as in the funky fuzz bass on "Planet Home," the airy synths of "Destitute Illusion," and the reedy keyboards and SHAFT-inspired riffs of the standout "Black Capricorn Day." Add to that the sexy, groove-soaked ballads "Butterfly" and "Falling," and you get a sweet taste of what Jamiroquai's soul is all about. Marie Elsie St. Léger

Three years after their breakout Travelling Without Moving, Jamiroquai returned with another album that charts Jay Kay's continuing fascination with club-bound music of the 1970s -- from disco to jazz-funk to rare groove to later Motown -- but also shows signs of maturity. Produced by Kay with Al Stone, who also collaborated on Travelling Without Moving, the album includes several tracks (like the single "Canned Heat") that work infectious acid jazz grooves, and Kay's hipster vocals give out feel-good vibes through a set of ambiguously good-time lyrics. Though other tracks show a bit of an electronica update to the affairs, each still spotlights how strong and tight the band is. It may not be a leap ahead in sound, but Synkronized is another solid Jamiroquai record. John Bush
