Jessie Ware

WHAT’S YOUR PLEASURE?

THE BEST ALBUM yet from this British pop star split the difference between dancefloor elation and that moment when the music ends and lust turns to longing. The ambient street sounds that open “Ooh La La” set the tone for a record that evokes a night out rushing from club to club, while songs like “Soul Control” and “Save a Kiss” bring to mind peak Donna Summer. But what truly sets the album apart is its universal sense of romantic hunger. On What’s Your Pleasure?, we’re all permitted beyond the velvet rope.
