"Rock Dust Light Star" is the seventh studio album by the English band Jamiroquai. It was initially released on November 1, 2010, in the United Kingdom by Universal Music/Mercury Records. The album was subsequently released in the United States on April 24, 2012, by Executive Music Group.
This album marked Jamiroquai's return after a five-year hiatus since their previous album, "Dynamite" (2005). "Rock Dust Light Star" features a blend of Jamiroquai's signature acid jazz, funk, and disco influences, combined with elements of rock and pop.
Some of the notable tracks on the album include the title track "Rock Dust Light Star," "White Knuckle Ride," and "Blue Skies." These songs showcase Jamiroquai's trademark funky grooves, catchy melodies, and Jay Kay's distinctive vocals.
Despite the album's positive reception from fans and critics for its energetic sound and Jamiroquai's polished performances, it did not achieve the same commercial success as some of their earlier albums. Nevertheless, "Rock Dust Light Star" reaffirmed Jamiroquai's place in the music scene as innovators of modern funk and continued to build on their loyal fanbase worldwide.
Overall, "Rock Dust Light Star" represents a continuation of Jamiroquai's musical journey, blending old-school funk sensibilities with contemporary production, and remains a significant entry in their discography for fans of their unique brand of danceable, soulful music.
