oh shit this is bicep????? god they were made for each other

Uhh, I think I like this more than "Honey".

Oh this is just fantastic. This is exactly the direction she should be going in right now.

i just picked up a vinyl copy of Glasshouse for $9, good timing.
― omar little, Wednesday, 3 October 2018 21:54 (five years ago) link
wow can we get a whole Jessie Ware & Bicep album
― ufo, Wednesday, 3 October 2018 21:59 (five years ago) link
this is really good - the slightness of the production gives her so much space to command, there's a genericness that in lesser hands would be anonymous rather than formularic impressiveness, the point where a template becomes a model

fucking love jessie ware
she is also super hilarious
― montoya (Ross), Wednesday, 3 October 2018 22:54 (five years ago) link
it's fine but i'm not seeing it as the revelation y'all are
― dyl, Thursday, 4 October 2018 03:40 (five years ago) link
i don't recall enjoying anything from her last project tho so maybe i've just fallen out of love
it's just a delight to finally get an Imagine It Was Us sequel
― ufo, Thursday, 4 October 2018 03:53 (five years ago) link
this is good
Glasshouse was great
― niels, Thursday, 4 October 2018 06:33 (five years ago) link
I've loved all three of her albums, but ever since "Imagine It Was Us" I've been ready for her to release her version of Overpowered. Maybe this time I'll get it.
― monotony, Thursday, 4 October 2018 12:54 (five years ago) link
Glasshouseis her worst. I only kept "Your Domino."
― You like queer? I like queer. Still like queer. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 4 October 2018 12:57 (five years ago) link
you were perhaps just expecting something else from her
it's my fave
― niels, Thursday, 4 October 2018 14:09 (five years ago) link
just as lex informed me after i wrote my review of it, obviously it's bad and sucks and i was wrong
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 4 October 2018 14:13 (five years ago) link
j/k
Glasshouse is her weakest but it's still good, just not a perfect album like Devotion
― ufo, Thursday, 4 October 2018 14:22 (five years ago) link
She's announced she's pregnant again (!) on instagram so whatever the next project is it might still be a while away.
― monotony, Thursday, 4 October 2018 21:46 (five years ago) link
For me the only lowlights of Glasshouse are the Julia Michaels and Ed Sheeran co-writes, and "Slow Me Down" which is fine but lopes a little too languidly. Everything else is fabulous.
― monotony, Thursday, 4 October 2018 21:48 (five years ago) link
"imagine it was us" is still so great
― dyl, Friday, 5 October 2018 02:09 (five years ago) link
and "Midnight Caller"!
― You like queer? I like queer. Still like queer. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 5 October 2018 02:15 (five years ago) link
this is so good
― nxd, Friday, 5 October 2018 08:43 (five years ago) link
The production on this is better than maybe 99% of dance-pop, you can tell every sonic decision has been based around sounding amazing on a club system. Bicep production in general seems to lack any particularly unique sonic identity but at the same time it's just really satisfying and well-made, like a pebble you just want to keep rolling round in your hand.
Song itself is great as well, if we get a whole album of stuff in this vein them I'm onboard (and I guess it's mostly in the can already).
― Matt DC, Friday, 5 October 2018 09:40 (five years ago) link
glasshouse was good if a bit pedestrian, it felt like the record that threatened to "cross over" and "selfish love" felt like a much needed mash of tom waits/sade
my favourites are the bsides from tough love, which is imo her best record by miles.
― montoya (Ross), Saturday, 6 October 2018 19:28 (five years ago) link
new song is more wow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHKMEHT_Jus

FUCK I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Wednesday, 13 February 2019 20:04 (five years ago) link
YES
― ||||||||, Wednesday, 13 February 2019 20:31 (five years ago) link
wow this is fucking nice
― bhad bundy (Simon H.), Wednesday, 13 February 2019 20:40 (five years ago) link
holy shit
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Wednesday, 13 February 2019 21:08 (five years ago) link
well... if this album actually happens, aoty
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Wednesday, 13 February 2019 21:13 (five years ago) link
literally tearing up at how gorgeous this song is
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Wednesday, 13 February 2019 21:14 (five years ago) link
I'm quote bored with this streak of marvelous tracks. Wht happened to the uneven Ware of old?

From her email - it seems like the disco record we've all always lusted after is very much in the pipeline but with the birth of her child imminent I don't imagine it'll be out until maybe the second half of the year at the earliest
Adore You, a brand new song for Valentine'sAs is becoming a Valentine's tradition, I'm very proud and excited to offer up a Valentine's present to you all. This is Adore You. I wrote it with Joe Mount of the fantastic Metronomy on our first session together. After being such a fan of Metronomy over the years, and his work with the divine Robyn, I feel so lucky to have written this little love nugget to give to you. We wrote it in one rather rushed sitting in East London (childcare on both our parts!) and it felt better and better upon every listen even in its most raw mumbling demo form.It feels particularly poignant to be putting this out as I'm about to embark on being a mother for the second time. I'm still making music, still loving my various jobs and so keen to share more music with you as soon as I can. However, this time around things will be different; I won't be rushing back into work, I'm going to enjoy the first mad months of newborn life and I'm not going to feel guilty about it. I have so much music ready for you but I have to be ready myself. James Ford and I have been in the studio finishing up a load of tracks and my poor family has to endure a multitude of mixes, me jumping for joy at Jules Buckley's string arrangements, replays and plenty more disco. I have so many ideas - too many in fact - that I'm trying very enthusiastically to juggle. I shall still be in your ears, currently with our Table Manners NYC mini series that started last week and with other musical offerings. And you can hear my special birth playlist for Radio 1's Wind Down slot here. I may even use it for my own birth, sod it!! So whilst I rediscover long nights, newborn bottoms and the beauty of white noise, please enjoy this song that I too adore. Lots of love and see you on the other side of sleepless nights, a little worse for wear but maybe a tad wiser. Jessie X

Oh wow, this is incredible. This album is going to rule so hard.
I'm already starting to think about how incredible her best of is going to be. She's made so many of my favourite singles of the decade.

I wasn't wild about "Overtime" but this one is gorgeous

I don't know if we've talked about her podcast with her mom but it's pretty delightful at times and she's had some pretty good guests this season - Carly Rae Jepsen a few weeks ago and now Roisin Murphy
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Wednesday, 22 May 2019 04:10 (five years ago) link
it's kind of the platonic ideal of a podcast
― Lil' Brexit (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 22 May 2019 07:43 (five years ago) link
New song “Mirage” out now or soon depending where you are

Unavailable in my country.
I hope she waits until 2020 to release the album so it gets the attention she deserves.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 6 November 2019 01:17 (four years ago) link
Stunning! The best album of 2020 already confirmed.
― kitchen person, Wednesday, 6 November 2019 03:53 (four years ago) link
Okay she’s 3 for 3
Feel free to announce an album anytime soon, Jessie

The first section of the verses reminds me of "Let The Music Play" by Shannon, which could not be a finer thing to reference.
