Jessie Ware | Glasshouse
PMR/Interscope/Friends Keep Secrets | Official Store | Amazon | iTunes
According to Chris Lacy: “A new Jessie Ware album is always a reason to celebrate. Her vocal purity, mature approach to pop songcraft, and soulful arrangements reward close and repeated listens. However, expectations were high for the acclaimed UK songstress’s third LP, and Glasshouse smartly avoids one-upping Devotion (2012) and Tough Love (2014) and instead provides a fascinating window into the ecstasy and thrill of being an artist, mother, and wife all at once....Totaling 12 tracks—17 featured on the album's deluxe edition—Glasshouse represents a transitional moment in Jessie Ware’s life and career. Her phenomenal vocal ability and self-exploration of love and motherhood results in some of the most emotionally honest and artistically powerful songs she’s ever recorded. Her slight overabundance in balladry may be the only point of constructive criticism one could levy. But minor quibbles aside, Glasshouse is a triumphant return to music that will likely send fans into ecstasy, critics into raptures, and her competitors back to the drawing board.”
