5 / 5
Jessie Ware is awesome. That's a fact just like the earth being round. Her debut album Devotion is incredible. Leo Tolstoy took 6 years to write War & Peace. That's a lot of facts for a Monday night. Her new single Tough Love dropped tonight on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show. I was excited and I was nervous; maybe a sweaty palm or two. Thankfully, the nerves were wiped out as soon as the first verse kicked in and Jessie's vocals floated high above the wavering synths and echoes. Then the immense gorgeousness of the chorus came into earshot:
"When your heart becomes a million different pieces / That's when you won't be able to recognise this feeling/ That's called tough love..."
Her vocals are more ethereal than ever before and coupled with beautiful production from BenZei, this is one of 2014's and one of Jessie's most sophisticated tracks. It could fit into Devotion nicely, but there are hints that her next outing might be even more unforgettable.
