The Disclosure remix of "Running" is one of my favorite things from this year, absolutely slays time after time. Really liked the Star Slinger remix, haven't listened to the other one yet. Haven't listened to any of the other Wildest Moments remixes yet.

Also, Jessie Ware was on BBC Radio 2 with Jo Whiley last night and performed two songs("Running" and "Widlest Moments"):

Cot damn, she's cute as fuck.

Yessssssssssssssssssssss. This makes up for not being able to see her live. (No it doesn't.)

Still nice to know what she'll finally have some Stateside promotion. Even though I already have the best copy, would like to own the album on wax.
 
I love how I "discover" a new artist just to come back to GAF and find a thread that has been going on for ages. That album is ace!
 
"No To Love" has turned in to one of my favorites on the album. Love the production(pretty much across the board) and the male vocals really work. Been playing the hell out of this album again. Such a fantastic debut.
 
I came in here to mock an artist I never ever heard of but then I accidently listened to this... WHAT HAVE I DONE?!!

Check out the Dave Okumu remix as well.

It's definitely my favorite off the album now.
 
I haven't visited this thread in ages, but I just bought tickets to see her. This'll be my first concert and I'll probably be going alone, but whatever. It's Jessie Ware.

For Jessie Ware, the past few years have been a series of happy accidents.

"There are so many great singers out there," says the 28-year-old London-born singer, whose U.K. debut, "Devotion," was recently nominated for a Mercury Prize and whose domestic debut, EP "If You're Never Gonna Move," is set to arrive Jan. 15 on Cherrytree Records/Interscope. "I just seem to be in the right place at the right time."

...

Now, Ware has her sights set on the United States with shows at New York venue the Box (Dec. 10) and Los Angeles' Bootleg Bar (Dec. 13) ahead of the EP. Ware returns stateside for a six-date trek beginning Jan. 14 at the Sinclair in Cambridge, Mass., booked by Marty Diamond at Paradigm.

"My goals for Jessie are absolute nationwide domination, but in a respectful, incremental and organic way," says Cherrytree head Martin Kierszenbaum, who first encountered Ware when Island Records U.K. co-presidents Darcus Beese and Ted Cockle invited him to watch her perform in London.

In line with Cherrytree's previously successful campaigns for Ellie Goulding and La Roux, the label is taking a slow-burn approach to its latest British signing. Music has been serviced to noncommercial stations and Kierszenbaum is confident Ware will naturally gravitate toward top 40 formats. "I believe the caliber of the record is such that we're going to end up at top 40 radio," says Kierszenbaum, who's eyeing a spring U.S. bow for "Devotion."

In the meantime, Ware is happy to take each day as it comes. "I don't think too far a­head because I want to appreciate what's happening now," says the artist, who's been racking up A-list cosigns. ( Katy Perry recently tweeted: "This lil' lady is going to be massive.") "It doesn't feel like work. It feels like a real adventure."

successful campaign...la roux...same sentence

#doesnotcompute

Jessie's collab w/ Katy B was fantastic btw. Best track on the EP.
 
Can Cherrytree fund a more extensive US tour please? As long as she doesn't get anywhere near Calgary, I'll be happy.

Thanks in advance!
