I predict Jessie Ware will be a force in the future of pop music.

In 2012, she has been planting the seeds for the world to take notice, as a soulstress bridging electronica and pop, but it wasn’t until hearing her Disclosure’s remix of her track “Running” that I knew this might be the next big thing coming out of the UK.

I have played this remix at bars, clubs and even First Fridays at The Natural History Museum and it always gets the party jumping!

She’s been making gems that have been floating around the blogs for a minute, and I’m excited to hear a solo full length is in the works after her notable collaborations with SBTRKT and Sampha.

Also, check out her softer side on this cover of Bobby Caldwell’s “What You Won’t Do For Love”.

Her album “Devotion” will be out August 20 via PMR Records.
