If it wasn’t for the dreads, no one would know whether this photo was of Lenny in ’93 or Lenny in 2016.

Y’all know I love me some pop-funk. I was raving to all of my friends about Maroon 5 at least six months before they blew up. Every now and then, I look at Adam Levine on TV or read his Twitter feed, and I regret that decision. But anyway, give me a bouncy beat, have a singer do his best Stevie Wonder and I’m probably gonna be hooked. Such is the case with new UK-based, German-born singer Chromatone. I have […]

We’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of MTV all month on Popblerd! Did you check out our list of the Top 50 videos of the ’80s ? While the ’80s marked the genesis of the music video revolution, the ’90s found videos in full flower. It was almost a prerequisite that any song released as a single had a video to accompany it (seriously–name one hit song from the Nineties that didn’t have a video). By the Nineties, music had changed as well. While MTV stuck to […]

When Jamiroquai strutted its way onto the London acid-jazz scene in the early ’90s it was fashionable for artists to revisit the soul and disco sounds of two decades prior. Now, 20 years later, ’90s nostalgia should technically be the order of the day, but frontman Jay Kay and his bandmates are still mining the Me Decade for R&B gold, as evidenced by Jamiroquai’s new single, “Smile.” You won’t find it on their most recent album, however. And if you live […]

I can’t remember being as excited for a Jamiroquai album as I am for their upcoming Rock Dust Light Star. Does this album even have a U.S. release date yet? Well, why not? It’s not like there’s so much stuff coming out right now that it would get buried, right? Hell, given the dearth of new releases and Jamiroquai’s lengthy absence from the music scene, releasing the album in the U.S. now might give them the highest chart ranking of […]

Jay Kay and the musical collective Jamiroquai have been making asses wiggle to their retro sound for almost two decades now. Although major success (or consistent American success, anyway) has eluded them, they’ve got a core audience that’s been salivating for five years to get a new album from them. Well, Jamiroquai’s seventh studio album, “Rock Dust Light Star”, will arrive in stores and online this fall, and the first music from the album has surfaced via the song “White […]
