This review is from: Corner of the Earth (Audio CD)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better off getting CD 1 and 2 of the UK release, May 31, 2010

Hit and miss this one is for me. This single semi combines the 2 UK singles into one cd, however it is missing is the wonderful mondo grosso mix of Love Foolosophy and you also miss out of the live song Titan (which is no real loss).

As for the songs here, the tracklist is wrong (the 2 remixes are for the song Mein Vein). These 2 remixes are terrific and worth buying the single for alone.

Bad Girls is a fairly terrible song, it is a live song with Anastasia and is not Jamiroquai at all, for me hearing this song really hit home for me that the old Jamiroquai was long gone. :(

5.0 out of 5 stars This is what I call quality music, April 22, 2004

JKay's rendition of Donna Summer's disco hit "Bad Girls" was beyond extraodinary, not to mention that the amazing video of "Corner of the Earth" is also included. If there was a rating system that would allow me to rate this 10/5, I would.
