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

new single is heavenly and camp - disco strings and i think an "i want your love" sample?

love this new single but don't know how she could leave "overtime" off the album

I’m absolutely never going to be FKA Twigs. And that’s OK.

This is more than OK.

I LOVE THIS WOMAN

(I could see how based on this and “Adore You” and “Mirage” how “Overtime” wouldn’t fit)

This new single is just fantastic. She's getting it all so right and it's glorious to witness.

This is going to be her best album isn't it?

love the video too

Getting Ewan Pearson-era Tracey Thorn vibes but this is wonderful on its own terms, she keeps delivering

holy crow this is awesome

Ewan Pearson-era Tracey Thorn vibes

Good catch. A little creamer, though.

unreal

yeah this is very EBTG to my ears, good one.

this owns

need ada remix

Just wake me up when it’s June 5th already

Good morning!

The last 30 seconds of the video make me so happy!

Because Tough Love exists, I can't quite call Spotlight her best single but it's already right up there. Her best of/singles collection is going to be insane.

AOTY

respect to Jessie but Glasshouse worried me a bit for being a bit unmemorable; it wasn't a sign of her eroding skill, it was more a concern i had that her path was aiming away from her greatest strengths. Everything from this has sounded amazing tho.

I love Glasshouse because I love simple domestic pleasures

whoa "spotlight"

excited for this upcoming era to re-legitimize "Imagine It Was Us" as top-tier Jessie

suits me! that's my favourite song she's ever done.

I feel like there’s a real nostalgia for Devotion in this album?

A lot of people have made that comment. I think this album is reminiscent of who I was as an artist when there were no external pressures. I did draw on the feel that we created when we worked on Devotion. It’s naivety. It’s not about overthinking or anything autobiographical—it’s about just wanting to dance.

Are you mindful of the fatigue and pressures you will be subjected to with the release of this new album?

I think I am in a much better place with everything now; it’s a real pleasure to be working again. I’m reminding myself of how it all should feel, and I’m aware that it can be taxing, but I’m focused on not saying yes to everything. There is a real beauty to saying no, and I’d forgotten that for a bit. I think the podcast is like a full-time job. I have a cookbook out next week that I made with my mother, which is completely bizarre. That comes out while I release an album that people will hear and want to have sex to. That’s just two different ends of a spectrum. That’s the constant balance, and, of course, my family! I have wonderful management and a great new label; it’s all just feeling good.

New song "Ooh La La" is fun but her vocals feel really anonymous on this track

nm I rescind that last post, I love this song vocals and all

YOU CAN LOVE ME ONE TIME

YOU CAN LOVE ME TWO TWO TIMES

I love this. Kind of reminded me of Tom Tom Club when it came on. It makes me sad she delayed the album by two weeks. I know it's only two weeks but time has stopped and I need this album like yesterday.

haven't listened to the new one yet but "Spotlight" is my favourite song of the year so far I think. utter perfection.

ok I've heard "Ooh La La" now - it's excellent and I immediately wanted a 10-minute disco edit of it.

Ooh la la is amazing

This record feels like it was made for choreographed group dances at the discotheque which is a bittersweet feeling during this time

the very beginning reminded me of Honk Honk Beep Beep by Badazz:

wow this is gonna be the album of the century

Kind of reminded me of Tom Tom Club when it came on

my immediate association was esg

mixed with like... "meeting in the ladies room"

this one sounds a bit like little dragon but better than that implies

New song “Save A Kiss” out

Absolutely yes

another one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4mcsokUXKc

when i listen to that song i'm in a dream

fuck! can't wait for the 12" versions of these

How can this album still be so far away?

I'll devote Thursday night to Averna negronis + dancing to Jessie Ware's last two jams

i wasn't as into "ooh la la" but "save a kiss" rules this album's gonna be the best

this is beautiful <3

The floor is super high on this album for sure, but Save A Kiss is my least favorite of the three. *shrug*
