    It’s an album that confirms the sound of an artist continuing to push forward, a unified expression of joy that is never anything but bold, playful and fun.

    What’s Your Pleasure? is a glass of red wine and a cigarette; That! Feels Good! is a shot of tequila and a line of…something stronger. ... It takes a steady hand to be as over-the-top as That! Feels Good! and still retain an air of class, something Ware manages to do almost impossibly. She saves the full poignancy of her vocals for just the right moment.

    That! Feels Good! nimbly catapults Ware from being beholden to What’s Your Pleasure?, to cementing herself as one of the most agile and important dance artists working today. ... A punchier and more immediate album than What’s Your Pleasure?, slicker and far funkier, but equally iconoclastic.

    That! Feels Good! is a record of sterling, mirrorball-lit songs and bawdy lyricism. It’s Ware’s finest collection of work to date.

    It’s certainly not overlong at 10 tracks, but That! Feels Good! does seem frontloaded with its punchiest tunes. Still, there are moments in the back half that really work. ... That! Feels Good! is at its absolute best when it pinpoints that intoxicating connection between body and emotion.

    That! Feels Good! isn’t as lyrically vibrant or extraordinary as What’s Your Pleasure? but holds its own with slinky grooves and a lane where Ware feels most comfortable.

    That! Feels Good! is unapologetic in its pop sensibilities, full of hooks that lightly tease and lyrics that keep themselves around. Ware's airy yet soulful delivery of these words, coos and moans is part of what makes her so captivating, and acts as a direct line to how much fun she's having.

What's Your Pleasure was very sophisticated but rich in terms of production and sound, but this album is a whole new level of greatness. This is a blend of funk, disco, dance and R&B which you easily get from the get-go. My personal favourite is Lightning, but you need to listen to the album several times to truly immerse yourself into it!… Expand

It has now been 4 months since this album was released and I still find it hard to find the right words to describe how perfect it is. Everything about this album is out of this world and, to be completely honest, I am so happy to live in a world where artists like Jessie Ware put out records like this one! Not only did this album make me fall in love with music in a whole different way that I hadn't before, it made me look at life through a completely different lens, and I am so happy it did! Miss Jessie, I cannot express how grateful I am for this album, THANK YOU for giving me the pleasure of having it in my life!… Expand

É um álbum mais maduro, mais coeso e embalável do início ao fim, como uma boa noitada, regada a muito vinho, champanhe e amor, que é o que falta no mundo e Jessie vem trazendo essa mensagem de esperança. Não desistir, se possível, começar de novo!… Expand

    And there I was thinking disco/funk in new pop was feeling a bit tired? Oh god, honey, no - That! Feels Good! Yes, the album draws strongAnd there I was thinking disco/funk in new pop was feeling a bit tired? Oh god, honey, no - That! Feels Good! Yes, the album draws strong influences from 70s disco/funk but Jessie has spun something fresh. She's gone further and delved deeper to understand the genre-origins - labours of love that have clearly paid off in crafting nu-age disco-pop that, on the surface is, campy, bold and anthemic, and between the lines is, fully-realised, meticulous and clever as hell. Above all, Jessie's cheeky, sparkling charisma shines through and the album is FUN.… Expand

    Personalmente no me gustó el dico, siento que es tan parecido a su trabajo anterior y eso me causa conflicto.
