Love Foolosophy

Love Foolosophy is the third single release from A Funk Odyssey and was released in the UK in February 2002. It didn't fare so well on the UK singles chart, when it entered at number 14 and dropped to 22 the following week.

September 2006 saw the single reissued as part four of five 12" remix releases - including a new remix of the track by Raul Rincon.

Prior to it's release, the single was on the BBC Radio 1 'A' playlist for four weeks, was number one in the UK club charts and still only managed to enter the UK charts at number 14.

Following its entry in the UK charts at number 14 James Masterton wrote in his weekly chart commentary at www.dotmusic.com the following:

"Top 20 hit number 16 for Jay Kay et al looks set for a customarily efficient chart run, the third single from their current album becoming the second biggest, beating the peak of December's You Give Me Something by two places. Spookily enough the backing vocals on this single are provided by none other than Beverley Knight who thus makes her second appearance on one of this weeks new singles. Beyond that it is hard to get too excited. Whilst Jamiroquai singles and albums continue to sell in solid numbers, you get the feeling the band are doing little more than playing to their established audience rather than pushing to make any new impact. Then again, after nine years of hits, is that still a possibility?"

Japanese release

Japanese release

The Japanese release has a nice big inlay which folds out to show all three UK cover images. Compared with the Japanese release of You Give Me Something, this release doesn't have quite so much material on it, although it makes up for it with the excellent Love Acoustic Mix of the track, which is by famous Japanese producer Shinichi Osawa and received its first airplay on Tokyo J-Wave radio on 2 February. On this remix, the guitar is played by Shinichi Osawa.
