The song "Supersonic" by Jamiroquai is a fast-paced, energetic track that is driven by a pulsating beat and a catchy chorus. The lyrics describe a man who possesses a powerful and intense energy that can be seen in the whites of his eyes. This supersonic vibe is so strong that it causes the man to cry like a warrior, demonstrating his intensity and sensitivity. The repetition of the phrase "supersonic" emphasizes the intense energy and overwhelming power of this man.
The use of the term "supersonic" can be interpreted in a number of ways, but it suggests a person who is moving at an incredible speed with great force and power. This could be a reference to a particular individual or simply a metaphor for the intensity of the human experience. The lyrics also suggest that this man is both powerful and vulnerable, which creates a sense of complexity and depth.

Not ahead of the time. Not only was this sound a popular one in electronic music, the way Jamiroquai does it hasn't even been replicated. Can't be ahead of it's time if it's in its own and hasn't been contested or replicated
@darpsyxer
@@pentexsucks43 true true! totally agree

They had balls to put this song as the 2nd single, of probably the most anticipated album of 1999. This videoclip was one of the most expensive ones ever. One of the most experimental song of the mainstream music, I love it. For example 99% of songs has the "clap" on beat 2 and 4, but here the clap is unpredictable and catchy. Also mixing house music with samba, indian music and Didgeridoo is crazy. The song has no chords in a traditional way, just a bassline and a simple melody : Everything here is about the rhythm, the dynamic, and the weird choice of instruments.
@mogglie
Iskander67 agree. But. There is a steady snare on 2 and 4. :). And the handclap is all over the place.
