What's Your Pleasure? marks UK singer-songwriter Jessie Ware's fourth studio album and her first in three years following 2017's Glasshouse. The 12-track collection serves as a thank you to longtime fans who have stuck by her and allowed her to take her time to create a project she's truly passionate about. Ware reflects on her evolution throughout What's Your Pleasure?, while exploring topics like femininity, freedom of imagination and escapism.
In 2019 Ware released the return to her house-music roots singles "Mirage (Don't Stop)" and "Adore You" which established the blueprint for the album. Newest single "Spotlight" signifies Ware's fulltime return to the music scene. Co-written by Ware and her close friends Danny Parker, Shungudzo Kuyimba and James Ford, the nu disco-inspired "Spotlight" signals a funkier, dance-pop direction for Ware. Along with the aforementioned Parker, Kuyimba and Ford, the album also contains credits from Kindness and Clarence Coffee Jr, producers and DJs Benji B, Midland, Morgan Geist (Storm Queen), Matthew Tavares and the unmistakable guitar twangs of Metronomy's Joseph Mount.
"I feel like these last few years I've had to do some exploration to figure out what I wanted to write about musically again and learn new things about myself," Ware explains. "I've been yearning for that escapism, groove and maybe it's time to say goodbye to the melancholy Jessie. I've spent the last year in the studio with an old friend of mine James Ford, working with a handful of great friends to create a record I'm truly proud of."
