90s band reunites in studio for first time in 10 years.

After an eight-year absence, the beloved funk group Jamiroquai is finally back in the studio, gearing up for the release of their highly anticipated new album. Fans have been eagerly awaiting their return, and the band can't help but tease their comeback.

However, the excitement is bittersweet as the group recently suffered a tragic loss. Last month, their talented bassist Derek McIntyre passed away in a car accident at the age of 66. Frontman Jay Kay paid tribute to his bandmate, and there were doubts about whether the group would continue after their hiatus following their successful tour for their 2017 album, Automaton.

But in a heartwarming turn of events, the 54-year-old singer headed into the studio for a writing session and it sparked a reunion of the hitmakers behind "Deeper Underground". According to a source, "It's been a long time coming but the time feels right for Jamiroquai to work on new music."

A video shared on TikTok showed Jay's excitement as he gave a little glimpse into the studio, with drummer Derrick McKenzie walking into the room. The source added, "Jay went into the studio for a writing session recently and it went really well. They got the band involved too and it all felt very special to be back together doing what they do best."

Everyone involved is buzzing with excitement about the new project and what it will sound like. While there is no confirmed release date for the album yet, the wheels are in motion. Jamiroquai, originally formed in 1992, has undergone some changes over the years, with Jay being the only founding member still involved and carrying much of the social media presence.

Jay captioned the TikTok video, "Getting the groove on again!" and fans couldn't contain their excitement. Many are hoping for a stylistic return to their iconic "Space Cowboy" era, referencing their 1994 album that reached number two on the UK charts. One fan commented, "New Jamiroquai album means it's a good year," while another requested, "Please make songs like the 90's ones again."

The band has been recognized for their talent and have won numerous awards, including a Grammy for Best Performance by a Duo or Group for their hit "Virtual Insanity" in 1998. In 1999, they also received the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Song Collection, and their greatest hits album, High Times: Singles 1992-2006, went triple platinum in the UK alone.

The loss of their bandmate McIntyre has hit the group hard, but they continue to honor his memory. The source added, "It's a reminder that life is short. His passion for music was inspiring and everyone in Jamiroquai had Derrick in mind."
