Amid the EDM-inflected chart battlefield of the early 2010s, Jessie Ware cut something of a singular, sophisticated figure. Raised in south London on a steady diet of Sade, Whitney and girl groups like SWV, debut record Devotion saw her enlist producers Dave Omuku and Julio Bashmore to metabolise those ‘80s and ‘90s grace notes into something simultaneously new and timeless; an emotive, smoky take on soul that can channel everything from 2-step-infused throwbacks (“If You’re Never Gonna Move”) to crystalline hits of sultry, piano-driven R&B (“Midnight”). Now—healed by the emotional catharsis of third record Glasshouse and buttressed by the success of her hit Table Manners podcast—she’s re-embracing the freedom of the dance floor. “Spotlight” arrives aboard an irresistible strutting, glitterball groove. And then there’s “Mirage (Don’t Stop)”: an audaciously sexy, urgent funk banger that plays like four minutes of liberated pop perfection.
