Jessie Ware has been on one hell of a roll since 2020, and her latest offering, Superbloom, is nothing short of a disco triumph. This album is the cherry on top of a deliciously campy cake that began with What’s Your Pleasure? and continued with That! Feels Good!. If those albums were her learning to strut, then Superbloom is her confidently strutting down the runway, heels clicking and glitter flying everywhere.
Out now via EMI, Superbloom is all about turning up the heat and diving headfirst into sensuality. With production from longtime collaborator Barney Lister, the album is packed with addictive strings, basslines, and percussion that hit harder than ever. The choruses are bigger, the rhythms dirtier, and the whole vibe is just a touch more excessive. It’s like a disco ball exploded, showering us with glitter and good vibes.
The album kicks off with the short but sweet ‘The Garden Prelude’, setting the scene before launching into the lead single ‘I Could Get Used To This’. This catchy pop anthem sets the tone for the album, and trust us, you will want to get used to it.
As the beats keep pumping, tracks like ‘Superbloom’, ‘Automatic’, and ‘Ride’ keep the energy soaring. But hold onto your sequins because the real magic happens in the middle stretch. Enter ‘Sauna’—a cheeky, sweaty anthem that’s practically begging for a packed dancefloor. With lyrics like, “If you wanna, last longer / I don’t need faster, I need stronger / Take it to the sauna,” it’s clear Jessie is fully committed to the fun and seduction. And we are here for it!
Then there’s ‘Don’t You Know Who I Am?’, a diva moment that channels the dramatic flair of Shirley Bassey. With pounding beats and lush strings, this track is gloriously over the top and showcases Jessie’s powerful vocals. It’s a reminder that she can belt it out with the best of them when she lets loose.
But what truly sets Superbloom apart is the warmth that runs through it. Jessie sings about long-term desire, family life, and the intimacy that survives the everyday grind, giving the record a substance that balances all the sparkle. Tracks like ‘Mon Amour’ and ’16 Summers’ provide a softer landing without draining the momentum, proving that you can have both depth and disco.
In essence, Superbloom is Jessie Ware’s most unfiltered, pleasure-forward chapter yet. It’s glossy, groovy, and perfectly tuned into the energy of her devoted (often queer) fanbase who crave big vocals, big feelings, and zero shame about wanting it all. The highs are sky-high, the production is impeccable, and the overall package is pure escapist joy with a knowing wink. So put it on, turn it up, and let it bloom!
