Following on from the explosive return of new video ‘Automaton’ and first new music from Jamiroquai in seven years which sent bloggers, fans and critics in to global frenzy, Grammy award winning pioneers of “future funk”, Jamiroquai, officially release ‘Cloud 9’, the first single off their eighth studio album ‘Automaton.’
On ‘Cloud 9’ Jay Kay comments, “Cloud 9 is a song that’s written in the style that I hope people know us for and are familiar with. It’s a song that if anyone that has been jilted and yet found love somewhere else will no doubt relate to. Can’t wait for you to hear it – get in the car stick it on the radio and just drive.”
