Apr 16, 2026Jessie continues her journey to becoming a modern, soul-pop legend with a set of songs so palpably feel-good that it’s impossible not to start shoulder-shimmying at any given moment.
-
Apr 16, 2026Thanks to Ware’s effervescent vocals and era-agnostic production style, the escapism of Superbloom lingers so long that it starts to feel not so much like a fantasy at all but a promise of something brighter and more perennial.
-
Apr 16, 2026The strutting No Consequences and the triumphant closing number of Mon Amour end the album on a high, and surely ensure Superbloom’s status as one of the albums of the year.
-
Apr 20, 2026While the record is sonically similar to her previous two studio efforts, Superbloom stands on its own merit as a bit raunchier, if you will, with more frequent double entendres. In the process, Ware created quite possibly her gayest record yet.
-
Apr 17, 2026A playful record that pushes in different directions without straying too far from the Seventies dancefloor brief.
-
Apr 16, 2026“Mr Valentine won’t you be mine / Don’t be shy cos I’m sure you’re just my type”, she sings in the jovial boogie-belter ‘Mr. Valentine’, partly mimicking ’00s girl group pop. .... “Don’t you know who I am?” she exclaims with a touching and stoic delivery in the eponymous power ballad of almost Bondian scale.
-
Apr 16, 2026On this LP replete with gleaming greenery imagery and lyrics about hard earned sunny ways, Ware doesn’t just sound like a natural dancefloor maestro. She proves to be a force of nature.
-
May 4, 2026Superbloom proves another ace in Jessie Ware’s hand, albeit one that for the most part stays within the dance-disco territory of her 2020s output.
-
UncutApr 24, 2026She is in her Hot Gossip element on the camp, gasping electro of "Sauna", while the Morricone-referencing "Ride" channels Sheila B Devotion by way of early-'90s Madonna and the title track is sheer seduction in silk pyjamas. [Jun 2026, p.35]
-
Apr 24, 2026Although the album lacks the emotional punch of Ware's preceding dancefloor-oriented albums, it's always entertaining, full of stunning vocal performances.
-
Apr 20, 2026Songs like “Automatic” and “Mon Amour,” meant to feel airy and perfumed, wind up coughing on their own musk. Ware’s adherence to such rigid disco blueprints also has the knock-on effect of making her voice sound less remarkable than it actually is.
