Universal Music Publishing is very excited to welcome the supremely talented Jessie Ware to UMPG.

The London born singer songwriter has been causing something of a stir with her soulful vocals and effortlessly elegant songwriting skills. Her debut album ‘Devotion’ has attracted rave reviews: NME described it as, “Both contemporary and timeless… a record filled with moments that bring you to your knees”, whilst Pitchfork calls it, “A uniquely soulful masterclass.”

Despite initially making her name as a dance vocalist, with a guest spot on Joker’s ‘The Vision’ as well as providing vocals for a number of tracks on SBTRKT's debut album, with ‘Devotion', Jessie explained, “I wanted to combine electronic with a more classic songwriting. I didn't want it to feel too 'of now', so that's why I went back to beats and grooves of things I loved before, like Prince and Chaka Khan and Grace Jones. I wanted to make downer R&B, and songs that are beautiful and bittersweet, like Sade. It was just about mixing it up in the right way.”

She has certainly achieved that with her debut, which comprises 11 laid-back, soulful pop songs that run the spectrum of sweet and dark – from the upbeat nu-soul swing of ‘Sweet Talk’, to the shimmering layers of ‘Night Light’, and the powerful choral melancholy of ‘Taking in Water’.
