The following story is printed in Tuesday's Mirror newspaper (UK), albeit in their showbiz gossip column...

Jay Kay's New Year's resolution must be to put some distance between him and the paparazzi.

The Jamiroquai front man, 36, is heading to the Scottish Highlands for a few months to finish a jazz album.

And he's modelling his new sound on his mum's, singer Karen Kay.

He says: "No doubt people will say 'What have you done - it sounds crazy' but I'll say 'But I like it'." Judge for yourself when Jamiroquai tour in late 2007.
