Album information

Dynamite was released on 20 September 2005. The album was released after the 2004 hit movie Napoleon Dynamite featured the Jamiroquai song Canned Heat in its climactic dance scene. "Feels Just Like It Should" was the first single, reaching #8 in it's first week on the UK charts. It has since become a No.1 hit on the Billboard dance charts in the United States. The single was also certified Gold in Japan for selling 100,000 copies. 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". 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.
