34. JESSIE WARE –
DEVOTION
What a great voice.
Jessie Ware completely lets loose over distant production. Her voice is
kept down in the mix quite a lot and backed up as background vocals, for lack
of a better word. This album really blends Italo-disco style mixing with soul
to create a startling piece of work.Think I heard it on the radio first time through. It felt like
a great feeling. What a clunky sentence to write. Nonetheless, I get a hark to
the past with Aaliyah; “No To Love” reminds me of the late R & B babe and
then “Night Light” comes on and her vocals are all up in the mix, it’s great.Man, I’m listening now, and it feels vital. My friend just
commented how she thinks Jessica looks like Michael Jackson. It was a shrewd
thing. Or maybe not. It takes me bad. A well produced soul record or disco
album or anything with heart will
always grab me. I recently bought some DJ equipment and music like this would
be something I’d like to feature, not a huge pop fan but I do love a good hook, like Captain Hook.
BEST PLAYED:
Anytime, it’s just ace!
