Jessie Ware today announces a brand new tour for April 2021 in support of her upcoming fourth studio album ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’. With 8 huge shows across the isles, including a night at London’s O2 Academy Brixton, the tour further marks the return of one of the country’s most exciting pop acts. Tickets go on sale to the public on june 12th.
Speaking of returning to the road, Jessie Ware comments; “I made this record so I could dance with you all so I am beyond excited to be touring What's Yours Pleasure? around the UK next year. I know it's a while to wait but it will be worth it. Expect lots of dancing, plenty of new music and more than anything, fun. Can't wait to see you all in April.”
Just last week, Jessie released the music video for ‘Save A Kiss’ which was directed by Vicky Lawton. The video recorded entirely during lockdown with the idea of connecting everyone to their loved ones through dance. Jessie and her 14 fans who were included in the video self shot videos of themselves dancing along to the new single. Speaking of the song and video Jessie says “This song feels particularly special coming out now, I love it and feel really proud of what we have made for the video. “
Last month, Jessie announced her fourth studio album ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’ to great fan excitement, with Pitchfork saying, “Her latest single reminds us why we listen to dance music in the first place,” and Fader adding, “Ooh La La is the kind of track that could make quarantine feel like Studio 54.” Her fourth studio album is a collection of sophisticated, hard-bodied pop funk that capitalizes on a love of 70s, 80s and 90s club culture coupled with Jessie’s vocals and the intuitive production of long-time friend James Ford culminates in a sound that feels instantly compelling. Jessie has succeeded in audaciously mulching several decades of party music into an album so relentless it doubles as a playlist.
Her return with the dancefloor ready ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’ feels like an artist in control; it's another leap forward, another magical reconfiguration of her musical DNA while capturing the essence of nostalgia to keep the spirit of club music and the dancefloor alive.
Catch Jessie live when she embarks on her UK 2021 tour next April.
