A groovin' surprise from JK and the gang

"I am a huge fan of Jamiroquai and own almost all of their albums (and many unreleased songs as well). I snatched up this single to entertain me during a 9 hour bus ride to Granada, Spain, and I wasn't disappointed."Corner of the Earth" begins with a worldbeat type opening, with a sweeping string chorus that quickly melts into Jamiroquai's unique blend of funk, disco and soul. I didn't like the song that much at first, but after repeated listens it has definitely grown on me. The lyrics are full of nature imagery and Jay fairly croons this one. The video for "Corner of the Earth" was a pleasant bonus as well."Bad Girls" is a cover of Donna Summers' classic and a downright fun live singalong featuring Anastacia. A great backing chorus and saucy delivery make this one a treat, as well as disco-danceable.At first, I preferred the "Main Vein" Knee Deep Classic mix to the Swings Jazzy Thumper mix. The two are similar, but the Jazzy Thumper mix won me over in the end. It is more uptempo than the first mix and makes more use of the Hammond organ riff rather than the guitar solo. The "Corner of the Earth" single is a wonderful investment any Jamiroquai fan's collection. With two new remixes, a live disco cover, and the video, it is a wonderful add-on to the new "A Funk Odyssey" album."
