Jessie Ware | Tough Love

Jessie Ware escapes the second-album slump with a masterclass in the no-chorus technique: new lead single Tough Love channels the slow-burning groove of Running, with smooth, bruised vocals backed by drum machine stutters and gentle synths reminiscent of Prince's 1983 hit Little Red Corvette. I'm sure he's on the phone to her as we speak, whether it's for a duet or a lawsuit - time will tell. Hear the similarity:


Disclaimer: the thunder in the video isn't included on the studio version - clearly the directors, BRTHR, were inspired by the clip for First Aid Kit's My Silver Lining, which uses the same trick. TL is definitely a grower, so it remains to be seen whether or not it will be a hit. Buy it on 3rd August.
