Emergency on Planet Earth is the debut album of the band Jamiroquai.
Released in 1993, this debut album features strong elements of the mixture of the R&B, and funk genres, but it is notable for being one of the definitive acid-jazz albums. The recurring theme on the album deals with lyrics about world issues and self-consciousness, along with several jazz instrumentals that made the album a success in the band's native country, the UK.
