Music in your DNA

Ever had a song—or a whole band—slide right into your bloodstream like it already knew your secrets?

Like the melody was written into your genetic code, waiting to be unlocked?

From the very first riff of the very first track, Jamiroquai got me. Hook, line, and funky bass line. Forever kind of love.

It’s like the music knows me. (Yeah, I get how weird that sounds. I’m rolling my eyes at myself too. )

What’s the soundtrack that feels like it was custom-built for your DNA?

Hint: if you once saved up your chore money for a box set (and if you’re too young to know what that is—well, bless your streaming heart) you already know the answer.

Side note: I caught Jamiroquai live in Denver about 15 years ago. Pure magic. And since then? The lead singer’s been banned from the U.S. for driving too fast. True story.
