Jamiroquai have shared ‘Cloud 9’, a second track from their upcoming comeback album ‘Automaton’.

“The inspiration for ‘Automaton’ is in recognition of the rise of artificial intelligence and technology in our world today and how we as humans are beginning to forget the more pleasant, simple and eloquent things in life and in our environment including our relationship with one another as human beings,” Jay Kay said of the new record.

Last month, the London band posted a teaser for the new album with the accompanying caption “Coming to a planet near you”.
