I was gonna revive this thread at the end of June to remark that I like the second album almost as much as the first, especially ("You and I Forever," "Sweetest Song," and "Midnight Caller").

Yeah, I read on Popjustice that she played a gig last week and announced her new single, Midnight is out in three weeks. Her third album is coming in October.
I lost count of how many times I listened to Tough Love (the album) to finally get into it. I still prefer Devotion but I've been listening it so much over the last year. Want Your Feeling and Tough Love are my two favourite songs of hers now.

Re: Ware's new single, she seems to have a thing for midnight eh?

Second album is better IMO, "Champagne Kisses" rules

^ one hundred percent down with this, love the second album, perfect ending

lol u can take me off ignore Ross!

sorry monotony, what does that mean?

lol nothing it's just that we made precisely the same point within 2 posts of each other!

New single is premiering on Annie Mac's BBCR1 show in a few hours' time.

Jessie Ware is the best
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Thursday, 27 July 2017 22:04 (six years ago) link
not mad about this on the first few listens
also Sheeran is on the album again :(
― Number None, Thursday, 27 July 2017 22:10 (six years ago) link
def. my least favourite of the first-run singles from the last 2 albums.
I've mentioned before but I always edit Ware's albums because there's always a few real duds IMO, hoping this album is more consistent
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Thursday, 27 July 2017 22:14 (six years ago) link
well, most albums have duds. She's not much different.
― the Rain Man of nationalism. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 27 July 2017 22:14 (six years ago) link
yeah, sure
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Thursday, 27 July 2017 22:15 (six years ago) link
There were duds on Devotion?

title track
― dyl, Friday, 28 July 2017 06:06 (six years ago) link
i love "midnight" -- hearing her powerhouse diva vocals over a "bennie and the jets" pastiche gave me much-needed life -- but i hate how i get bruno mars' "that's what i like" stuck in my head after listening to it.

devotion title track rules
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Friday, 28 July 2017 21:52 (six years ago) link
Yeah, I love the title track. It works perfectly as a build up to Wildest Moments. No To Love and Still Love Me are the weakest songs, but I still wouldn't call them duds.
― kitchen person, Saturday, 29 July 2017 01:08 (six years ago) link
the only dud imo is "pieces" on TOUGH LOVE -- otherwise they all bang in one way or another

Not sure about this one. Weird single choice.

yeah i'm with ya, totally on the fence
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Thursday, 31 August 2017 18:03 (six years ago) link
I really like this, Sade's always been an obvious comparison point but this is proper Smooth Operator wine lodge vibes.
Video is 10/10 too, clearly going for hype via ~controversy~ but I think she pulls it off.

sounds like...... lovefool??

It reminds me more of Miss Chatelaine by K.D. Lang.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 31 August 2017 20:06 (six years ago) link
at first blush I was reminded of Tom Waits/ Lana Del Rey, perhaps that's a litle OTT
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Friday, 1 September 2017 05:05 (six years ago) link
It reminds me of "Twist in My Sobriety" with a bossa laid on top.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Friday, 1 September 2017 05:14 (six years ago) link
lol i thought lovefool too
like it tho, all her last album tended to be grower for me
― nxd, Friday, 1 September 2017 08:35 (six years ago) link
I think it's better than "Midnight".

The third album is called Glasshouse - out "very soon" according to instagram

Just saw on the Popjustice forum that there is a song on the new album called The Last Of The Believers that features Paul Buchanan! That's a dream collaboration right there.

didn't they write together before Tough Love but nothing made the album? that's great news
― ufo, Wednesday, 13 September 2017 14:37 (six years ago) link
Just found this from 2013 where she mentions revealing her new single co-written with Paul.
http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/the-week-in-music-jessie-ware-is-still-pulling-all-the-strings-8970990.html
One of the results from my Google search also took me to The 1975 thread on here where someone mentioned that she was the one who introduced Matt to The Blue Nile. Good work Jessie!
― kitchen person, Wednesday, 13 September 2017 14:47 (six years ago) link
oh the song she performed then was 'True Believers' so it must be the same one

imo this is her best album though it won't set this board on fire in the same way devotion did, prob bc this board is v different now and also she doesn't really occupy a connective space between dance music and quiet storm anymore. but like every track is good to excellent and rewards attention, even the sheeran track, again, which is mercifully the final song on the record and the arrangement takes it to such a cool, unexpected place that i don't mind that it's the same circular melody sheeran generates automatically/unconsciously whenever he picks up a guitar. paul buchanan track is probably exactly what a modern blue nile song would sound like; i find it crushing
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 16 October 2017 16:05 (six years ago) link
I'm excited to hear the live band tracks with Chris Dave and Pino, although on 'Selfish Love' they sound tastefully anonymous.
― change display name (Jordan), Monday, 16 October 2017 17:43 (six years ago) link
Buying this on release day, and will again if there's a bonus track reissue next year. Good to hear it feels like her best yet.
