Dynamite is Jamiroquai's sixth studio album, and perhaps their most diverse work to date, featuring electronic, funk, disco, house, and acoustic tracks.

It was released on 15 June, 2005, in Japan and 21 June in Australia and the United Kingdom. The album bowed at No.3 in the United Kingdom, becoming the first Jamiroquai album to chart outside the top two spots. However, with other solid new albums from Coldplay, Foo Fighters and others in the top five, it was still a strong success for Jamiroquai. "Feels Just Like It Should" was the first single release, reaching No.8 in its first week on the UK charts. It has since become a No.1 hit on the Billboard dance charts in the United States.

Dynamite was released on 20 September in the US in DualDisc formats. The CD side of the DualDisc contains the 12 album tracks. The DVD side includes the entire album in enhanced stereo, the "Feels Just Like It Should" music video directed by Joseph Kahn, the "Seven Days in Sunny June" music video, as well as the "making-of" documentary for the music video "Feels Just Like It Should". The US release also features new album art.

A video was shot for the second single, "Seven Days in Sunny June", which was released in the UK in August 2005. The track bowed at No.14 in its first week on the UK charts.

On November 7, "(Don't) Give Hate A Chance" was released as the third single from the album. The politically-driven video for the track, which can be seen in its entirety at the band's website, is Jamiroquai's first animated clip; it features an Buffalo Man, complete with buffalo-horned hat, sunglasses, and tracksuit. The clip helped the track score Top 20 showings in UK charts such as the Smash Hits and hit40uk charts (both of which take in radio and video airplay, not just sales). However, the track bowed meekly at No.27 on the official UK singles chart.
