Your words alone could drive me to a thousand tears...
Jessie Ware has been knocking around on the underground dance scene in London for a while now. She has provided guest vocals for the likes of Joker and SBTRKT and also teamed up with the electronic soul man known as Sampha, but now it seems the London based songbird is heading out on her own and personally I’m glad she has.
Maybe a month or two ago Jessie released the video for Running, an absolute beauty of an R’n’B tinged slow jam produced by Bristol’s own Julio Bashmore. Unlike most R’n’B you hear these days the sugary sweetness is nowhere to be seen as Running is drenched in heartache with Jessie’s vocal floating through spacious synths and the thudding of the kick drum.
Now Jessie has returned with another Julio Bashmore produced track 110% apparently recorded around two years ago (according to Bashmore) and it seems that once again this partnership has struck gold. Upping the tempo slightly from her previous releases this track is one for the warm up DJs as it’s sure to get people moving on the dancefloor before the party properly gets started.
I believe the key to Jessie’s success is the people she is choosing to work with and she is definitely choosing wisely. If she carries on working with the likes of Sampha and Julio Bashmore she is sure to get some brilliant results. At the moment Jessie is making some of the most beautiful, soulful and heartbreaking electronic music I have heard for a long while. There is obviously a lot more to come from Ms. Ware and if she carries on this rich vein of form her album Devotion is set to be something truly special.
