"Too Immature to Die" is the 2d single taken from British funk and acid jazz band Jamiroquai'south debut studio album, Emergency on Planet Earth (1993). The original version of the track runs at x:18; however, both the unmarried and album versions were cut, running at 3:22 and six:05, respectively. The single peaked at number ten on the UK Singles Chart and reached the pinnacle l in France, Iceland, holland, Sweden, and Switzerland. The rails's stems were made available to the public in March 2013 as part of a remix contest for the song; as such, there is an affluence of bootleg remixes to the song in addition to the official remixes. The competition was won by Australian DJ and music producer Tardily Nite Tuff Guy.[2]

Background [edit]

The commercial single includes all three versions of the rail. The song's lyrics are about the fear of war and death due to political machinations. The unmarried'south cover art depicts Jay Kay in the groundwork, looking into the camera, with a sky-blue "grill" of the Buffalo Human being in the left, every bit hollow spots, which are slowly morphing into solid blue crosses (specifically, headstones), which are the polar opposites to the meaning of the buffalo man. This morphing happens as one moves their eyes from left to correct over the cover of the single. There is also a imprint most the bottom of the sleeve which has several images on it, including a flick of a baby with a caption beside it reading "Too Young to Die", an image of the mushroom cloud, and a Swastika, with the latter having a blood-red "X" over it.

Disquisitional reception [edit]

A reviewer from Music & Media wrote, "An uplifting strings intro heralds Jamiroquai'south follow-upwardly to concluding year's massive When You Gonna Learn. Jay's "Stevie Wonder"-ful voice grabs the melody and envelopes itself in a warm overcoat of horns, funky guitar and intricate percussion accompaniment worthy of a Roy Ayers prepare. "Real" music for the acid jazzed amid you."[3] Alan Jones from Music Calendar week described information technology as a "loose and attractive retro-funk workout that owes more to the Seventies than the Nineties."[4]

Dr Bob Jones from the magazine'southward RM Dance Update stated, "This is pure soul jazz with the funky bassline. A simple worldly message is scattered over a tight rhythm section with horn stabs Seventies-style. Pure class — 1 to raise some dust!"[5] Tony Cross from Smash Hits gave the song four out of 5, commenting, "Led by the young (but still Stevie Wonder sounding) lead singer Jay, Jamiroquai have updated dark and dirty '70s funk. This is a stylish anti-war song that has really got what it takes. The obscenely talented Jamiroquai will go from strength to strength."[6]

Music video [edit]

A music video was shot for "Too Young to Die". It was directed by British director W.I.Z. (a.k.a. Andrew John Whiston), and consisted mainly of Jay Kay singing in what appears to be a desert military installation.
