Jessie Ware // What You Won’t Do For Love

After posting “Strangest Feeling”, “Running” and “110%” I’ve basically come to the conclusion the Jessie Ware is amazing. I’m way behind on getting loads of new music, so thanks to Deluzan I’ve discovered that Jessie has put this new track up as a free download over here on facebook.

A cover of Bobby Caldwell’s ‘1978 classic’ (admit it, you’d never heard it either), producer Sampha puts a 90s R&B spin on the song. There’s loads of synths and muted keys, which combined with layered backing vocals give the song a real sensual feel. You just can’t help but groove when you listen to this song. No one actually knows what ‘groove’ means, but if you’ve hit the play button on this post then you’ve most likely experienced it. It feels good, right?

This cover manages to combine all the best parts of 90s R&B with a modern ambient production, only adding to the sleekness of that groove. Jessie really knows how to make a sexy downtempo, so hopefully her debut album “Devotion” will have a few more of those when released this summer.
