Alright

Jamiroquai

High-octane acid jazz defined by a relentless slap-bass groove and shimmering Rhodes chords. A celebratory anthem of romantic resilience and urban energy.

April 28, 1997 · Sony Soho Square

Alright represents the peak of Jamiroquai’s commercial and creative powers during the late nineties. It is a track that breathes with the warmth of analog funk while maintaining the sleek, aerodynamic polish of modern pop. The song is anchored by an incredibly elastic bassline that provides a constant sense of forward motion, making it impossible to sit still. It feels like the sonic equivalent of a neon-lit city street after a light rain: reflective, vibrant, and full of possibility.

Moments Worth Listening For
The moment the bassline first locks in after the introductory synth swell
The bridge where the brass section takes over with a triumphant melody
Jay Kay's effortless shift into a soaring falsetto during the final chorus
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.
