"a steady flowing psychedelic groove rock band that emphasizes dream-like melody."
"On February 2, 2011, the duo announced that they would officially cease recording and performing music as The White Stripes. The announcement specifically denied any artistic differences or health issues, but cited "a myriad of reasons ... mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band".
Both Meg and Jack hope this decision isn't met with sorrow by their fans but that it is seen as a positive move done out of respect for the art and music that the band has created. It is also done with the utmost respect to those fans who've shared in those creations, with their feelings considered greatly.
With that in mind the band have this to say: "The White Stripes do not belong to Meg and Jack anymore. The White Stripes belong to you now and you can do with it whatever you want. The beauty of art and music is that it can last forever if people want it to. Thank you for sharing this experience. Your involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly grateful."
What else can I say? I kneel before the talent of Jack White. He's a music genius and the White Stripes will always be reminded as the pioneers of the rock revival movement of the 2000's.
They will always be alive in their great discography.
Sincerly, thank you.
Today i checked the Stats tab and i got surprised and completely amazed with what i saw.
I could tell you, but just see by yourself: (click to enlarge)
When in April 2009 i decided to start this honest and simple blog, i didnt expect this all.
The Return of the Space Cowboy (1994), the second album from the British band Jamiroquai still owns the groove and the excelent musicality from the first, but with something else.
In this energetic and mesmerizing album, the band mantains their roots of Funk, R&B and Acid Jazz but explores new styles such as Bossa Nova, Jazz Fusion and Disco, always keeping their sound raw and devoided from electronic trends.
Jay Kay's voice keeps smooth like Stevie Wonder and Al Green, the keyboardist Toby Smith, besides keeping the chords of a classic Fender Rhodes, deploys new sounds with a Moog synth, and the bassist Stuart Zender runs the notables bass lines which largely hold the groove of the band.
The album became a classic, being considered by many as the most pure exemple of the unique sound of Jamiroquai
Nevertheless, seen that the album is said as a 'non comercial' one, it's the worst selling album of the band: only 3000000000 (3 milion) copies sold.
