A Funk Odyssey by Jamiroquai
A Funk Odyssey is an album by Jamiroquai, released in 2001. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “You Give Me Something”, on 2 lists with a best position of #50.
A Funk Odyssey, Jamiroquai's fifth album, landed in Britain on 3 September 2001 on Sony Soho Square, and it went to number one there, the London band's third chart-topping album. Jay Kay, the one constant through all of the group's line-up changes, steers the band further from its acid jazz roots and deeper into the disco ball, with Derrick McKenzie's drums keeping everything locked on the four-on-the-floor.
It's slick, strutting and built for the dance floor: rubbery bass, electronic flourishes and Kay's supple, soaring voice floating over the top. "Little L" is the headline act, a bouncing disco stomper, with "You Give Me Something" close behind. The album reached Japan first, on 29 August, and arrived in America on Epic on 11 September 2001.
