Days after sharing the new single ‘Pearls’, Jessie Ware confirmed that her fifth studio album ‘That! Feels Good!’ will be released on April 28.
Speaking about her her disco-pop-influenced ‘Pearls,’ Ware said “Pearls is a record that doesn’t take itself too seriously but demands you to have a dance. It’s inspired by divas like Donna Summer, Evelyn Champagne King, Teena Marie and Chaka Khan and I guess attempts to show – in lightness – all the hats I try to wear (usually at the same time). It’s the second song you will hear from my collaboration with Stuart Price and Coffee Clarence JR – with the wonderful addition of Sarah Hudson – and hopefully gives you a taste of the fun we have working together.”
About the follow up to her 2020 ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’ LP, the now 38-year old UK musician stated “That! Feels Good! Is a record to be enjoyed, to sing and shout the words back at me and to each other. It’s a culmination of hard work and total pleasure appreciating the job I have and the worlds I get to dive into. I have never felt so ready for people to hear something I’ve made.”
The initial offering from her forthcoming full length was the critically acclaimed ‘Free Yourself’, which received four remixes, including one by Melanie C in November. And in October of 2021, Jessie teamed up with Kylie Minogue on the ‘Kiss of Life’ duet from the Australian pop princess’ deluxe edition of her 2020 ‘DISCO’ album. Both artists adopted a disco direction on their records and were part of the revival that was championed by Dua Lipa’s ‘Future Nostalgia’ LP.
