not mad about this overall. I like "Finish What We Started" but nothing much else has stuck. "Your Domino" just seems like a less graceful version of "110%" to me

I've been listsening all weekend -- am listening now -- and every time I'm ready to file it away as "This is nice, agreeable" I remember that I was walking around for a lot of 2015 going YOU WERE THE SWEETEST SWEETEST SONG and making Miguel's seal noises from "You and I, Forever."

On the second car play of the album, and like it well enough. Disappointed that "ft. Paul Buchanan" is more of a drive-by than a duet, and surprised that he wasn't utilized more. Maybe there's a proper duet floating around out there?

I saw her live a few days ago for the third time and she's still killing it. she basically brought the house lights up every several songs to chat with the audience

https://www.instagram.com/p/BiHl0_1h9Og/^at the show i went to, the woman in this video got brought up on stage during a song break after jessie saw her kind of grooving out dancing in the back doing her own thing. apparently she didn't even know jessie's music before the show and just came with her mom or aunt and friends and was just really feeling it.

I'm very into her new song.

Speaking of the track, the singer said, “’Overtime’ is a taste of what’s to come. It’s been really fun being back in the studio and I’m so excited to share this track. I worked on it with some of my favourite producers; James Ford & the guys of Bicep. It feels like I’m going back to my early days; it’s a late night song to flirt to. Whilst I carry on working on new music, I hope you really enjoy this one.”

Jessie Ware and Bicep is a great combo.

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
― boxedjoy, Wednesday, 3 October 2018 22:17 (five years ago) link
fucking love jessie ware
she is also super hilarious

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 were perhaps just expecting something else from her
it's my fave

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"!

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.
