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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g4TkugrmdQ

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.

i think this is actually pretty decent but maybe that's ptsd from my childhood spent listening extensively to AC radio talking

yeah i like this song but i like a lot of obvious garbage

breakdown is a bit much true

I spend my adulthood listening to AC but this sounds like the opening credits Vanessa Williams song to a Disney film.

let a girl get her MOR on, shit

i quit about halfway in tho.

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

This was my thought too and I felt really bad for thinking it.

Still Love Me and No To Love are the only songs on Devotion that are less than great but this is much worse than both.

Still Love Me is my favorite song on Devotion

Swan Song is prob the dud from that album. "No To Love" isn't great either and the rap is bad, but the live version is a gem.

oh daaaaaamn tho this is really really good

yeah that one's outstanding - saw a bit of footage the other day of her performing that in poland

'Say You Love Me' has all the hallmarks of a blatant crossover pitch written by some lazy megabucks songwriter for hire who will later brag about having written in in fifteen minutes in crayon.

it's the Ed Sheeran joint so you're sorta right I guess?

Oh if it was actually Sheeran then I'm fully prepared to believe he earnestly toiled over it for weeks.

with his Crayola 64 box

he saves the gold one for very special assignments

Concentrating intently to ensure he's not going over any of the lines.

the miguel song tho. been in my head all day

i was having a senior moment when i posted my reaction to ed sheeran: i was actually thinking of jessy lanza

..

lol rumor has it that this ed sheeran one is the one interscope plans to push to us radio :(((

it's def in that sandé / sam smith lane

produced by ilx favourite Dev Hynes

rubbish, all rubbish

let us now switch allegiance to sinead harnett

been really forgiving of the last three tracks but this is very dev hynes i.e. blank synth washes and grooveless overstimulated drums, can't get down with it. nice guitar filigrees though

oh why are these all so bad??? and really...personality-free. they don't seem very *jessie ware* at all

Not a huge fan of Dev Hynes but this tracks seems to work for me? I'm not sure, I like the idea reminds of late 80s corny french pop (that willl always win me over) but the whole thing seems very constrained but that could be the audio quality of soundcloud.
