• About this album: So! Many hooks! The fifth album by English singer-songwriter Jessie Ware. Co-produced by Stuart Price and her previous collaborator, James Ford. Ware co-wrote all tracks alongside Shungudzo, Danny Parker, Clarence Coffee Jr., Sarah Hudson and its producers. One of the highest rated albums on Metacritic for 2023. This album was a late edition to the list. It was a 2023 Christmas gift from one of music peeps, so I got a listen in just in time not to sleep on this one and I’m glad I didn’t because if I had it would have been a (wait for it) TRAGEDY! Serious retro vibes. Listen to this one on 8-track while cruising to the 2001 Odyssey Disco with your dance crew in the 1964 Chevrolet Impala.

• Metacritic Score: 87 (Universal Acclaim).

• Grammy Nominations: None.

• Song To Sample: Free Yourself.
