Hot Property, meanwhile, seems to have combined the French duo’s Around The World with a sped-up version of the Bee Gee’s Stayin’ Alive, whose chorus it borrows while adding random spoken Japanese. It was released as the lead single from their eighth studio album, Automaton (2017), on 27 January.
Like Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories, feel-good disco lies right at its heart: check opener Shake It On’s stabs of Philly strings and Nile Rodgers guitar licks, or the funk bass that drives Nights Out In The Jungle. Automaton is a song by English funk band Jamiroquai. Nothing else on Automaton quite lives up to this brilliantly bizarre comeback, but it’s still an album that becomes increasingly difficult to resist. In lieu of tribal instrumentation and acid-jazz noodling, the group leans heavily on electronic production to supplement their trademark slinky basslines and funk guitar. The video was directed by Charlie Lightening, who has previously. MaJamiroquai’s first album in seven years, Automaton, aims to modernize the band’s funk-pop sound. It’s so bizarre that, when it fades out after four-and-a-half minutes, even haters ought to agree it’s too early. Songfacts: This is the title track and lead single for Jamiroquais eighth studio album. As the title implies, Jamiroquai's eighth studio album, 2017's Automaton, is a dancefloor-friendly production inspired as much by lead singer Jay Kay 's famous love of sports cars as Giorgio Moroder 's synth and drum machine-heavy productions of the '70s and '80s.
'The inspiration for 'Automaton' is in recognition of the rise of artificial intelligence and technology in our world today and how we as humans are beginning to forget the more pleasant, simple and eloquent things in life and in our environment including our relationship with one another as human beings,' said. Then there’s the strange buzzing and whirring sounds, worthy of Aphex Twin, that interrupt him the song’s almost random application of vocoder a chorus whose Moroder-esque vibe is positively delirious a breakdown with a Sugarhill Gang-style rap and references to Billy Idol (“Eyes without a face) and David Bowie (“Feel like a man that fell to earth”). This is the title track and lead single for Jamiroquai's eighth studio album.
For starters, it breaks into an opening verse that bears almost no relation to its opening 30 seconds.
