The music business is taken to a new level by the site, offering in addition the possibility to share through social networking and widgets. Songs, videos, merchandise, event information, artist resources are included on the site, along with all other things related to Jamiroquai.

Fans will be offered the possibility to have widgets and Jamiroquai content included on their blogs or social networking. In addition, calendar software Spongecell will also be available on the site. This will allow fans to see what their favorite band is doing at a certain time and where they are. The band's history from its beginnings until the present is presented by the software.

The site's new technology allows fans to buy CDs, digital downloads and exclusive merchandise. In addition, they can be connected to the last minute content and information through the RSS feed provided by the site. CMS (content management system) and Modera (http://www.modera.net ) were the creators of the site.

Jay Kay of Jamiroquai said:  "The internet is shaping the future of music and I'm excited by the potential it offers artists. The new Jamiroquai.com site takes advantage of the internet's growing ability to connect and share more intimately with our fans. They are now more involved building and sharing what they wish from the content on our site, even creating content themselves to share with us and each other."

Neil Cartwright, founder of Million Media (http://www.1-000-000.com ), added: "The aim isn't simply how many fans can we get to visit the artist's website anymore. It's about how we get the artist's content on to theirs. Jamiroquai.com employs many new Web 2.0 technologies to present fans with the features they now want and expect from an artist's website. The strength of the site is Modera's CMS, which provides us with full and complete flexibility in updating the fans with the latest Jamiroquai news."

Siim Vips, CEO at Modera, said: "The Jamiroquai.com site is extremely flexible and intuitive and embraces the social media culture that has been prolific of late. The site works in tandem with the bands profiles on MySpace, Virb, Netvibes, Imeem and a branded YouTube channel to name a few. All of Jamiroquai's photography and imagery is available on the new site and is pulled from Flickr so fans can catch the latest snaps of the band at gigs and on tour."
