Jessie Ware is ready to open the doors to her next chapter. The British pop artist announced her new album, Superbloom, arriving April 10 via Interscope Records, marking the latest evolution of an era rooted in dancefloor fantasy and emotional honesty. The album is available for pre-order now.
Described as the crescendo of Ware’s recent creative run, Superbloom builds on her growing reputation as an artist who balances euphoric soundscapes with grounded storytelling. This time, she leans deeper into themes of intimacy, desire and human connection, all while keeping one foot firmly planted in disco’s shimmering past.
A Dance Record With Emotional Weight
At its core, Superbloom pulses with Studio 54-inspired groove-pop, but Ware avoids leaning on nostalgia alone. Instead, the album widens her sonic palette, pairing sweeping arrangements with moments that feel tactile and lived-in. Pleasure here isn’t fleeting or surface-level, it’s framed as something intentional and hard-won.
Recent single “I Could Get Used To This” offers the clearest window into that vision. The track has already been praised as Ware’s “ultimate entry into divahood,” driven by cascading strings and a slow-building release that feels both theatrical and deeply felt. It’s the first song to fully reveal the album’s expansive tone, capturing confidence without detachment. The accompanying video leans into that sense of arrival, presenting Ware as fully at ease in her command of glamour and scale.
Creative Control, Front and Center
Since 2020, Ware has taken an increasingly hands-on role behind the scenes, and Superbloom continues that streak. She served as the album’s A&R, maintaining creative authority across its development. Longtime collaborator James Ford returns, joined by Barney Lister, Karma Kid, Jon Shave and Stuart Price. Mixing duties were handled by Ben Baptie, whose past work spans Sault, Little Simz and Adele.
That level of control mirrors the album’s themes. Ware is unapologetic about leaning into fantasy, but she’s equally interested in examining the realities beneath it.
“Since ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’ I’ve been trying out this fantasy world and escapism,” Ware said. “I’m not the most by-the-book ‘pop star’, but I do like to play with dress-up, glamour, and fun, While I love dance music, I wanted to dig deeper with this record; to connect with real relationships and appreciate the love I have, and the fears I have of losing it.”
Carrying Momentum Forward
Superbloom arrives nearly three years after That! Feels Good!, Ware’s 2023 release that debuted at No. 3 on the Official UK Albums Chart and marked her strongest showing yet on the U.S. Top Album Sales chart. The album earned widespread acclaim from outlets including The Guardian, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, NME and USA Today, while cementing her place as one of pop’s most reliable risk-takers.
That era also brought high-profile live moments, from festival sets at Glastonbury and Primavera to a standout appearance at the British Fashion Awards. Singles such as “Free Yourself,” “Pearls” and “Begin Again” fueled a run that felt both celebratory and self-assured.
With Superbloom, Ware doesn’t abandon that momentum, she refines it. The album positions joy as something cultivated rather than accidental, turning pleasure into a statement of purpose. For an artist who has steadily reshaped her own lane, this release feels less like a reinvention and more like a confident next step.
Jessie Ware, it seems, is exactly where she wants to be, and fully in bloom. Pre-order the album here.
