    On What’s Your Pleasure? though Ware sounds simply like a serious star, on an album where she finally has the confidence to commit to her most theatrical tendencies and cut loose at the same time. The effect is liberating in the way disco always intended.

    The result is surely one of the best pop albums of 2020, and is possibly Ware’s finest to date. A sensual delight, What’s Your Pleasure? is the ultimate in post-disco gratification.

    Unencumbered by the weight of expectation or reinvention, Ware reclaimed her love for making music. In the process, she created one of the year's best records, the rapturous What's Your Pleasure?

    An intoxicating cocktail of seductive beats, exhilarating choruses and sleek production, ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’ is pure escapism.

    Heady and rooted in lustful disco, this album proves that the singer is a cornerstone of contemporary pop.

    While she could let her hair down a little more, this record finds plenty of sweet spots between melancholy and euphoria. [Summer 2020, p.107]

    What an album! First, Jessie showed us with Devotion how really good pop music should sound at the beginning of the 21st century. With ToughWhat an album! First, Jessie showed us with Devotion how really good pop music should sound at the beginning of the 21st century. With Tough Love, she took it to the next level. The third album Glasshouse was not so successful, but Jessie still delivered tender melodies and deep songs. What's Your Pleasure is another Jessie - one who has developed artistically, experimenting with 80s beats and animating us to be happy and dance - not only in the bedroom. Absolute bops: Spotlight, What's Your Pleasure and Soul Control.… Expand

    Jessie Ware's new album only has one good song, the rest is mediocre.
    I wonder how much money Jessie Ware has paid to get good reviews
