Jessie Ware – Tough Love

2 × Vinyl, LP, Album

Double vinyl LP pressing including four bonus tracks. 2014 release from the singer/songwriter. Jessie Ware first entered our consciousness back in 2012 with the release of her delicately soulful debut album DEVOTION. Recorded with little fanfare in low-key sessions with Dave Okumu of the Invisible, it became one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year. On TOUGH LOVE, you can hear the leaps in production and songwriting that come with experience and an expanded team. While the record still draws on the suave, svelte palette of synths and bass heard on DEVOTION, they're combined with more confident choruses and lush arrangements. Jessie's stunning vocal is brought to the fore – it often feels she's whispering right in your ear.
