Jessie Ware - Free Yourself + That! Feels Good! (album 5)

[Jark]

this hot gay banger is coming THIS WEEK! Thursday apparently.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Is this what she debuted at Glastonbury? It sounded amazing.

 

[Apoca]

Baby don't you

STOP!

STOP!

feed us, jessus

 

[funky]

Where’s this buzz coming from @Jark @ManicKangaroo

I’ve been Googling and nothing…

[funky]

Why is it not on the 9 o’clock news though?

This is life changing information

Honestly mopsy, I’m not ready.

 

[Apoca]

I'm counting on Free Yourself to cure my covid.

No pressure Jessie beb.

 

[Apoca]

Yep, issa bop.

 

[GNL]

She has FOUR ALBUMS already?!

 

[funky]

BRING IT ON HOME JESSUS

 

[Jark]

seems like this is NOT out this week. sorry bebs!

 

[COB]

He can't keep getting away with this!!

 

[funky]

He can't keep getting away with this!!

I’m incandescent.

 

[Jark]

so I can EXCLUSIVELY confirm this liberation anthem is out Tuesday 19th July

Co-written by Clarence Coffee (Mirage, The Kill) and Stuart Price.

 

[COB]

I Don't Believe You

 

[funky]

feels like part of a campaign then not a rushed out single

The YEAR OF JESSUS part 2 is upon us

 

[Apoca]

Oh Jessie, not STUART PRICE

 

[Loufoque]

Buss, you know the drill

 

[Jark]

Oh Jessie, not STUART PRICE

that does make me a touch nervous

 

[funky]

Same. I hope he hasn’t taken that wonderful piano house backdrop and given it his usual 37 layers of SYNTHS

Jake where do you get your Jessus information and where can I sign up

 

[Jark]

JAKE!

PLEASE, Madame F, show me you know how to be SWEET

 

[Apoca]

Jake

 

[funky]

My phone is a spellcheck Nazi

Calling you Jake from now on regardless

 

[Jark]

OMG

 

[funky]

Yeah, not ready. Will never be ready. This is going to be too much.

 

[Apoca]

Keeping us fed.

 

[Logic?]

If Stuart Price has given Jessie anything on 'Hallucinate' levels we're in for a treat

 

[funky]

The Stuart Price thing will continue to haunt me until I actually hear the album. One thing Jessie is NOT is overproduced. Her voice is the crown jewel of her music and she always keeps the production subtle and atmospheric. She’s a MOOD. She doesn’t need bells and whistles.

Of course, it’ll be a masterpiece, but I’ll be a worried gay loon regardless

 

[lolly]

I kind of get funky's concern. What I love about Jessie is how effortless she make everything feel. Obviously her vocal underpins that, but it carries on through practically everything she has ever released.

 

[Jark]

If Stuart Price has given Jessie anything on 'Hallucinate' levels we're in for a treat

Stuart only did keyboard on Hallucinate, it was produced by SG Lewis!

 

[Apoca]

The Stuart Price thing will continue to haunt me until I actually hear the album.

Likewise, he can't be trusted.

 

[Pipo]

Stuart only did keyboard on Hallucinate, it was produced by SG Lewis!

He did co-produce Cool though! ugh, he's good, leave Stewie ALONE!

 

[Jark]

TOMORROW. Clara Amfo's hottest record. Jessie single handedly enabling climate change.

 

[Jark]

 

[Berly]

Giving me Triumphant (get ‘em) vibes

 

[Jark]

it's clearly not her most memorable song ever. the verses are more of a mood than a melody. but that chorus is tasty. a super fun reintroduction

(*disappears*)

 

[GNL]

This is lush. Not a ten, but still pretty good.

 

[Pipo]

10/10

 

[Apoca]

It's a bit of a departure sonically from the WYP tracks (middle 8 is probably closest) but it's a fun romp and I appreciate how unapologetic it is. Not sure I will play this to death the way I did with Spotlight/Please/Save A Kiss but a welcome addition.

And yes, you can hear Stuart Price had a big hand in this - let's keep it to one or two tracks; don't abandon SG Lewis and James Ford for the album, Jessus.

 

[funky]

I see what people are saying but it’s still really great. The italo piano is a treat. Her vocal doesn’t really match the early 90s production in terms of what you’re expecting to hear, but I think once I’ve gotten used to it I won’t notice that anymore. It’s a slick, joyous bouncey anthem. I’ll absolutely take it.
