Happy 40th birthday today to one of my fave artists of recent times - Miss Jessie Ware!
She's one of those home-grown British artists who is critically lauded, brings crowds in to her live concerts, and is generally well-liked - but has never been a huge chart presence [not that what passes for "the charts" these days is actually meaningful in any particular way, as it counts shit like TikTok and Spotify "hits" as a gauge of success, rather than physical sales]. She's more "Paloma Faith" than "Little Mix", in effect.
I love her. Her vocals are good, her music is cheerful and catchy, and she looks like she knows how to have fun! And we like fun:
Brilliant, one and all!
Many happy returns, Jessica Lois "Jessie" Ware (born 15 October 1984)
I only know that Jessie Ware exists because of your blog. I don't know why I haven't sought more of her music out before as I really like all of these. (Well, I didn't listen to Freak Me Now as I seem to recall being somewhat ambivalent about it when you featured it before.)
ReplyDeleteShe is definitely worth discovering! Jx
DeleteOh, I've just looked back at the comments from your September 2023 post featuring 'Freak Me Now' and I loved it! I'd better listen to it now - sorry, Ms Ware.
ReplyDeleteAha! Hoist by your own petard... 🤣 Jx
DeleteShe is fab, her voice is fab, the music is fab and the videos are fab. Basically it's all Fab.
ReplyDeleteDo you find her fab, dear? I'd never guess. Jx
