Jessie Ware - 110% (and everything else she's done)

this didn't exactly sink in on one listen but then neither did "tough love", i am happy to spend time with it!

same and same. co written by romy from the xx

this wimpy xx shit is the exact opposite direction i want her music to go

it sounds like she took a bunch of klonopin and hid in a beige blanket fort

What happened to the exuberance of "Imagine It Was Us"??

did you guys miss the bit where "imagine it was us" was a complete anomaly for her? these two singles are more in line with devotion than it was

i mean it is still the best song she's ever done yeah but that doesn't mean that's what we should expect henceforth

They're in line with the slower bits in Devotion I liked less.

almost every song on devotion has way more muscle behind it, in the sade sense, than this or "tough love," both of which are fairly timid.

I was hoping IIWU was like hinting at the direction in which she was headed but instead she was just like HAHAHA J/K GOTCHA and then turned around and ran in the complete opposite direction. Also these two singles don't really seem to do anything magical w/ her voice like most of Devotion did.

i like these songs but they're definitely growers. gonna buy this the minute it comes out of course!

it's two songs, everyone relax

also i'm willing to bet that they're gonna have an american single that is not in the vein of these tracks at all

i like tough love more than this, but it's worth noting that this is going to "appear on the deluxe edition" of the album, which makes me think it's a bonus track

if that's b-side material (or deluxe edition add-on whatever) then i can only believe the non-single tracks are going to be bonkers amazing.

Stevie Deux from what I saw at her show (on the last tour), the new album will include parts of magical voice.

I seen her on 2 diff tours but never playing new stuff :-( I hope it's so good

i have total faith in her. also i disagree with the idea that "tough love" is timid / lacking in muscle.

The Deluxe Edition tracks on the Katy B album are the best ones fwiw. That said I don't think Jessie's album will be as monumentally pissed about with as Katy's.

hmmm controversial opinion i guess but i don't really think the little red bonus tracks are anywhere near as essential as y'all made out initially, a decent number of them are pretty boring + sounded better as snippets than they actually did on the album

anyway i'm low-key into this new track and "tough love" remains good, i see no reason for alarm yet

The clear standout on the Katy B album for me is "Emotions", I really hope that is made a single at some point

yesssss

Ed Sheeran features on ‘Say You Love Me’

nooooo

I think he's just playing the guitar.

Was hoping there might be a Chance the Rapper feat. somewhere. Looks like for the moment the Arthur theme was the extent of their collab.

that breakdown is prrretty corny

I think I have officially lost all hope and anticipation for this album

we still haven't heard any of the Miguel tracks. There's that

ed fn sheeran?

I still love "Tough Love" but this one, no.

wow a pop singer on the cusp of a potential major career breakthrough made a crossover track, how ever will we cope with this betrayal

solitary posts

Wildest Moments was a crossover track

except it was good

her last albums has songs worse than this

album

well, it's as neither-here-nor-there as, say, Devotion's title track.

the first three singles off Devotion were Running, 110%, and Wildest Moments. It's fair to say this album isn't measuring up so far

those singles also towered over the rest of the album

that's true. Hopefully it's the opposite this time

totally fine with this song jeez

xp those three singles did not tower over "sweet talk" "night light" or "taking in water" in the slightest

that said this is pretty w/e

"Sweet Talk" is my favorite on the first album.

I like the title track a lot, whatever.

Okay, this is already growing on me.

this song and that horrible breakdown are more worthy of jessie j than jessie ware

her last albums has songs worse than this

it has one song that's bad but still nowhere near as bad as this

strictly speaking "sweet talk" was not a single but it was an advance track that they put out ahead of the full release, which reinforced my feeling at the time that all the best songs off that album came out before the thing itself

Her voice sounds amazing on this but the rest of it is really horrible and it upsets me that I'm thinking that.
