Rock Dust Light Star

Rock Dust Light Star is the seventh studio album released by British acid jazz band Jamiroquai. The album was released on November 1, 2010.
The album was recorded at Jay Kay's home studio in Buckinghamshire, as well as Hook End Manor in Oxfordshire, and Karma Studios in Thailand. The album is written entirely by the band, and produced by first time collaborators Charlie Russell and Brad Spence. The band revealed that the musical style of the new album will be more centred on funk and rock, however, frontman Jay claimed that the tone and style of the album were hard for him to describe. Promotion of the album began in October 2010, with a press conference involving band members Jay Kay, Derrick McKenzie, Sola Akingbola, Matt Johnson, Paul Turner and Rob Harris. They announced that the group were to play two concerts, in Colombia and Brazil, to promote the album, before discussing plans for a possible world tour in 2011. In a review for the Daily Telegraph, the album was described as "blistering, poetic, meaty, reflective and inspiring". Upon release, the album debuted at #7 on the UK Albums Chart with sales of less than 35,000 copies. As of December 2010, the album has sold 210,000 copies worldwide, less than half of the sales of their previous album, Dynamite.
