Jessie Ware’s Superbloom picks up right where she left off, staying firmly in the groove she’s spent the last few records building, but tightening the focus. The London singer’s sixth album leans into the disco and dancefloor instincts that reshaped her career, this time with a sharper sense of control and a little more clarity about what she wants to say within it.

Ware didn’t start here. When she broke through with Devotion in 2012, the appeal was in restraint. The songs were intimate, rooted in soul and R&B, with her voice carrying most of the weight. That approach earned her a Mercury Prize nomination and quickly set her apart from pop music at large. Over time, she expanded that palette, moving through sleeker pop on Tough Love and Glasshouse before making a decisive shift with 2020’s What’s Your Pleasure?, where she embraced disco not as a throwback but as a fully realized direction. That! Feels Good! pushed it further. Superbloom refines it.

The production team reflects that intent. Ware works again with James Ford, while Stuart Price, Karma Kid, and longtime collaborators like Shungudzo and Clarence Coffee Jr. help shape a sound that is precise and consistent without feeling overworked.

Musically, Superbloom stays locked into rhythm. Strings sweep, basslines glide, and the arrangements are built to get you moving, but they’re never cluttered. Tracks like “I Could Get Used to This” and “Automatic” lean into that clean, polished disco framework, while “Ride” adds a bit of theatrical flair without tipping into novelty. There’s a confidence in how these songs are constructed. Nothing feels rushed, and nothing is trying too hard to stand out.
