Jamiroquai - Dynamite - 2005

Dynamite is Jamiroquai's sixth studio album, released in June 2005. Produced by Mike Spencer and Jay Kay, it is perhaps their most diverse work to date, featuring electronic, funk, disco, house and acoustic tracks.

Album information
Dynamite was released on 20th September, 2005. The album was released after the 2004 hit movie Napoleon Dynamite featured the Jamiroquai song Canned Heat in its climactic dance scene. The second single, "Seven Days in Sunny June", was released in the UK in August 2005, peaking at #14 on the UK singles chart. The song also featured in the film "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006). On 7 November, 2005, "(Don't) Give Hate A Chance" was released as the third single from the album. The politically-driven video for the track, which can be seen in its entirety at the band's website, is Jamiroquai's first animated clip; it features a Buffalo Man, complete with buffalo-horned hat, sunglasses, and tracksuit. The clip helped the track score Top 20 showings in UK charts such as the Smash Hits and hit40uk charts (both of which take in radio and video airplay, not just sales). However, the track bowed meekly at No.27 on the official UK singles chart. The album was recorded in many locations, including Jay's personal Chillington Studios, and Los Angeles.
