Kay expressed dissatisfaction with his former record label Sony Music. Sony Music Entertainment is a major global Record label controlled by the Sony Corporation of America, being one of the "big four" record companies In a November 2006 interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, he commented that "These days it's 18% music and it's bloody 82% marketing bullshit [. The Sydney Morning Herald ( SMH) is a daily Broadsheet Newspaper published by Fairfax Media in Sydney, Australia . . ] Next time I do an album, I'm gonna put it up on the internet for five fucking dollars. "

These comments, and other recent comments in an interview with The Sun ("There are other things I want to do with my life [. . . ] I want peace and quiet and to meet a nice girl and have some little pitter-patterers and chill out. "^[7]) fueled rumours that the Dynamite tour of 2005/2006 would be cancelled.

On 19 November 2007, the band's percussionist, Solá Akingbolá released an album called "Routes to Roots". The album is focused strongly on the Yoruba people's music. In an interview with David Rowe, owner of [Funkin. com], Akingbolá said^[10]:

This album came out of the question - "Where are the Yoruba Drummers in the global fraternity of Drummers?" The cultural influence of the Yorubas in the diaspora runs very deep. The sound, the groove, the swing in my playing is rooted in the style of traditional Yoruba drummers I grew up listening to as a boy. My dream has always been to play alongside these amazing players. This album is a dream come true and an honour. The ground work led me to places in my cultural tradition that were full of surprises and inspired more questions than answers. Philosophical, Historical, Religious and Musical. I hope this album will seduce young drummers in Yorubaland and the diaspora to delve deeper into their pre-Islamic/Christian musical history. The music of the Yorubas is in the language, the language is inseparable from the drums. No other groove can reach my heart, hands and feet like this one. If I can transfer a fraction of that to the listeners, I'll be a happy man.

On January 11, 2008, Jason himself posted a news item in which he thanked everyone who wished him the best for his birthday, and announced that the writing process for the new album has just begun. ^[11] Only a day earlier, drummer Derrick McKenzie posted an article on his MySpace weblog that the recording process for the same record has also begun.
