‘Dynamite' was the hotly anticipated sixth album from the band. It followed the release of their 2001 album ‘A Funk Odyssey’ that had garnered critical and commercial success globally. Also in the intervening period between the two albums, the band were exposed to rafts of new fans when their 1999 track ‘Canned Heat' became the focal point of cult-turned-smash-hit movie ‘Napoleon Dynamite' (2004) when the movie's namesake lead performed his now infamous dance.
Originally released in the UK on 20 June 2005, its lead signal and first track on the record ‘Feels Just Like It Should' became the bands fourth number-one on the US Dance Chart that also broke into the UK Top 10 Singles Chart and was accompanied with a Grammy Award nominated video that features Jay Kay going from nerd to himself and also adopt the role of the Candyman – all of who adopt Jay’s unique style and moves.
‘Dynamite', like all of their previous albums, continued their great album chart success, this time entering at number three. The second single, ‘Seven Days in Sunny June' entered the top 15 and in 2006 saw the band’s relationship with smash hit movies continue, appearing in The Devil Wears Prada. ‘(Don't) Give Hate A Chance' was released as the third single, once again featuring a hugely captivating video this time with an animation of the band’s infamous ‘Buffaloman’ logo throwing some signature Jay dance moves.
This reissue continues the ongoing celebration of Jamiroquai with the albums ‘The Return Of The Space Cowboy', ‘Travelling Without Moving', ‘Emergency On Planet Earth', ‘A Funk Odyssey' and ‘High Times: The Singles 1992-2006' all available on vinyl again, some with bonus material.
