Jessie Ware Returns With New Album Superbloom
essie Ware has released her new album Superbloom, out now.
The record builds on the sound she’s been shaping over the past few years, but shifts the focus inward. Where earlier work leaned into escapism, Superbloom stays rooted in real experience. It centers on connection, intimacy, and the kind of self-awareness that comes from actually living through things rather than imagining them from a distance.
Recent singles “Automatic,” “Ride,” and “I Could Get Used To This” give a clear sense of that direction. You can hear the influence of 70s soul across the album, but it doesn’t feel like she’s reaching for anything. It just sounds settled.
Ware spoke about that shift directly.
“I love dance music and still think this is a dance and groove record, but I was ready to write about connecting with real relationships and appreciate the love I have, and the fears I have of losing it.”
She also pointed to a more symbolic influence behind the album’s tone.
“Whether it’s the Garden of Eden or a garden of fertility and fecundity where goddesses play, the main inspiration here was the goddess Juno…I’m not saying I’m a goddess, by the way, but I wanted to embody one.”
That balance shows up throughout the record. It never feels like she’s trying to prove anything. She already knows where she stands.
Ware continued to take full control of the creative direction on this project, something she’s been doing in recent years. She worked again with producer James Ford, alongside collaborators including Barney Lister, Karma Kid, Jon Shave, and Stuart Price. Mixing was handled by Ben Baptie.
The album follows That! Feels Good!, which marked a major moment in her career, landing high on the UK charts and expanding her presence in the U.S. Since then, she’s carried that momentum through both releases and live performances, continuing to build a stronger connection with audiences.
She’s also preparing for her biggest tour yet, including her first run of arena shows in the U.K. The tour will also include North American dates, with a stop at Radio City Music Hall, before wrapping with a hometown show at The O2 Arena.
Superbloom doesn’t feel like an artist trying to figure things out. It sounds like someone who already knows where they stand and is comfortable staying there.
