Can't Figure Out The Name/Artist of Song I Hear

Sign in to disble this ad
I don't have an iTouch which can tell you the song just by that special app. All I know is that it sounds like a mid-tempo disco song very similar to what Jamiroquai would do... ...but with a female singer. It has the Stuart Zender-like disco octave bass and all.

Driving me crazy. I'm never in a place where I can get a song name, nor is one announced. It's a on a "corporate music radio loop" so no song info is available, or accessible to me. Tried googling "Bands that sound like Jamiroquai" and I never get anything promising. Also tried Pandora, and left it playing to see if that song would come up when I tried looking for songs that fit with Jamiroquai or "Jamiroquai Radio". No dice.

I want to say that the song is in E or E-flat. I don't have any key phrases or vocal taglines I can remember. I do know it is a pretty new-sounding song, but it has been out since at least March, and maybe earlier. The vocal is sung in a jazzy, breezy style, and is not a diva-like powerhouse performance in the vein of Christina Aquilera.

Talk Bass to the rescue???

Ps-
It took me 20-plus years to finally discover "song with the saxophone line and the slide-y guitar motif which I'd heard once in a while on radio since the late-70s was, in fact, "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty. This, in the days before ipod, internet, and so on...

Have no idea...except maybe you should check out The Brand New Heavies.
If you like Jamiroquai, you should like The BNH (w/ their female vocalist).
