Jessie Ware
Devotion LP

Her debut is a sonic amalgam of dusky 80s R&B and pristine 90s Brit soul. It’s lush, sophisticated pastiche, best epitomized by debut single Running. It’s also wistful and fervently romantic, unearthing memories of eyes locked through a sea of bodies and too-silent goodbyes. Wildest Moments is wired for radio play and one of the year’s best love songs.

Coyness and girlish pretense have no place in this woman’s story. “I need your love,” she purrs over the title track’s dubsteppy swing, and on the Julio Bashmore-produced shuffle 110%, “Feel free to touch me.” Such command sets her apart.
