Jessie Ware – That! Feels Good!

That! Feels Good!, released on April 28, 2023, is Jessie Ware’s fifth studio album, and it’s a sizzling celebration of dancefloor liberation. Following the critical acclaim of her disco-infused 2020 album “What’s Your Pleasure?”, Ware dives even deeper into the pulsating world of groove, crafting an album that’s as infectious as it is empowering.

From the opening title track’s hypnotic chant and propulsive bassline, it’s clear Ware is on a mission to get your body moving. “Free Yourself,” the album’s lead single, explodes with shimmering synths and soaring vocals, urging listeners to cast off their inhibitions and surrender to the rhythm. Tracks like “Pearls” and “The Realest” pulsate with a playful sensuality, while “Overtime” takes a soulful detour, Ware’s smoky vocals weaving through a bed of shimmering strings.

But That! Feels Good! isn’t just about hedonism. Ware infuses the album with moments of vulnerability and introspection. “In Your Stride” is a tender ode to self-acceptance, while “The End of The Affair” grapples with the bittersweetness of letting go. These quieter moments provide welcome contrast, showcasing Ware’s emotional depth and versatility as a songwriter.
