	The album's title represents the synchronicity among the band regarding the album itself, finding a sound that the band felt comfortable with: “I feel that everything in life is synchronized. Everything has a lead, everything’s got a universal harmony about it; the trees and the land, and the sea and sky and what have you …and that also it gets reflected in people. I think if you follow your heart, which is your natural intuition, you can’t go wrong.".

	~~Session began two years after~~ [[Travelling Without Moving]] at ~~[[Jay Kay\|~~Jay Kay's]] home studio in Buckinghamshire, Chillington. ~~Close to~~ nine tracks ~~would be~~ recorded until Stuart Zender left the band~~, with reasoning being~~ disputes between him and ~~Jay~~ Kay~~<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20181121120328/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-67486971.html/</ref>~~ and ~~wishing~~ to spend more time with his then-girlfriend and ~~his~~ recently born baby.~~<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220916003146/https://www.mtv.com/news/j367ci/bassist-stuart-zender-leaves-jamiroquai</ref> Ultimately~~ the band decided ~~it would be best~~ to re-record the album ~~and have~~ Nick Fyffe ~~serve as the replacement for Zender~~ in ~~bass playing~~. It would be ~~shortly~~ finished ~~and revised~~ 6 months ~~after and would be released~~. ~~Jay Kay has admitted several times in~~ the ~~past~~ that ~~he was never satifised~~ with ~~the outcome of ''Synkronized'', saying~~ in a ~~2001 interview "I never really locked into that album~~, ~~lyrically. I wasn't there. I listen to~~ it ~~now~~, and I ~~shake my head~~."~~<ref>https://books~~.~~google.com/books?id=_hMEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA7#v=onepage&q&f=false</ref> Whether this~~ is ~~because~~ of the ~~re-recorded version~~ with ~~Fyffe or inner-tension between~~ band ~~members is not clear~~.		Following their global hit "[[Travelling Without Moving]]", recording sessions began for their next album at Jay Kay's home studio in Buckinghamshire, Chillington. Around nine tracks were recorded for the album until the band's bassist, Stuart Zender, left the band. Zender's departure was a result of disputes between him and Kay, speculated due to writing credits and pay, though Zender himself has stated that he had wished to spend more time with his then-girlfriend and recently born baby. To avoid potential legal issues, the band decided to re-record the entire album from scratch, hiring a new bassist to take over Zender's role, Nick Fyffe. Fyffe had previously played in a Jamiroquai cover band, receiving an offer to join Jamiroquai. The revised album, "Synkronized", would be finished in only 6 months, releasing on June 8th, 1999.

			The album's title represents the synchronicity among the band regarding the album itself, finding a sound that the band felt comfortable with: “I feel that everything in life is synchronized. Everything has a lead, everything’s got a universal harmony about it; the trees and the land, and the sea and sky and what have you …and that also it gets reflected in people. I think if you follow your heart, which is your natural intuition, you can’t go wrong.".

			The first track and lead single, Canned Heat, is described by Kay as an "angry" track, being a result of Zender's departure from the band, along with numerous other difficulties the band was facing at the time, the song encouraging one to just dance off their problems: "Dance / nothing left for me to do but dance / Off these bad times I'm going through just dance / Got canned heat in my heals tonight, baby.".
