Singer of gorgeous songs Jessie Ware dropped the first single from her upcoming album Tough Love in early August. Said song of the same name is reviewed here. It was/is amazing as is most of what she sings. Now she's put second single Say You Love Me on the internet and it's a predictably beautiful affair.
It's a down tempo, much more acoustic sounding track than its predecessor. From the bare percussion in the opening to the wistful chorus where she coos 'I don't wanna fall in love/ If you don't wanna try/ But all that I've been thinking of is maybe that you might...' this is perhaps her most commercial friendly record to date. That's not a bad thing. It's stepped away from the 80s synth mastery of her back catalogue to a more anthemic, acoustic arrangement and her vocals sound more authentic and powerful than ever. If the album Tough Love continues the quality of its first two singles then it's something to get very excited about.
4.5/5
