Space Cowboy

Jamiroquai

A hazy blend of street-level funk and cosmic soul where elastic basslines meet shimmering Fender Rhodes. It captures the jittery, late-night energy of 1990s London.

The Return of the Space Cowboy is the sound of a band finding its groove while its leader is momentarily lost in the stars. It is a deeply atmospheric record that balances the high-velocity funk of Jamiroquai's debut with a new, more contemplative haze. The music feels like a neon-lit urban landscape viewed through a cloud of smoke: vibrant and kinetic, yet underscored by a sense of isolation. The interplay between Stuart Zender's iconic, elastic basslines and the shimmering ripples of the Fender Rhodes creates a sonic environment that is both retro-futuristic and grounded in the grit of 1990s London.

Moments Worth Listening For
The moment the bass drops into a syncopated, elastic groove after the atmospheric synth intro of the title track
The seamless transition into the Latin-tinged percussion break during Stillness in Time
The raw, improvisational energy of the eight-minute opening jam where the drums and Rhodes lock into a frantic dialogue
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
