    Definitely my favorite album of the year so far. It's been a good year for pop, and that eighties sound, with Dua Lipa, Lady Gaga's and The Weeknd's new albums all being very good but this is on another level. What a throwback to the old club culture of yore. It's disco, it's eighties funk and I love every single track on here. It's literally one banger after the next.

Not a single dud on here with production values being among the best I have heard in a long time. Literally spent the entire weekend with this playing in the background and dancing my ass off like I was in my twenties again.

    This is definitely going to the sound of winter 2020 in the Southern Hemisphere, coronavirus be damned. Fantastic stuff!

    Muchas gracias Jessie Ware por este increíble regalo. Muy probablemente lo mejor que me ha pasado en este trágico año se lo debo a la voz y equipo de Jessie Ware en "What's Your Pleasure?". Ella es toda una reina cuya adoración se la doy más a su humildad que su reconocimiento, re-encontrándose constantemente y mostrándose ser una amiga intima de la música del alma. Sus letras podrán inclinarse por un romance muy usual, elegante y sensual, pero por más superficial que sea, es la producción, dirigida por James Ford, que hace este álbum una de las cosas más importantes en este año. Es el alma de esta música Disco que irradia la muy necesaria energía para sobrevivir a tantos golpes emocionales que nos ha dado este año. Vivir y bailar no respeta géneros, sexo, color, cuerpo ni edad y Jessie Ware nos ha recordado esa unión en la diversidad con una tamaño de sensibilidad y poder increíble que todos, sin distinción, deberíamos aprovechar y compartir.

    Thank you a lot for this incredible gift, Jessie Ware. Very probably the best thing that has happened to me in this tragic year, and I own it to the voice and crew of Jessie Ware in "What's Your Pleasure?" She is a queen that I adore more for her humbleness than for her acknowledgment, finding herself constantly and showing to be an intimate friend of soul music. Her lyrics could lean on a very usual, elegant, and sensual romance, but no matter how superficial they are, is the production, directed by James Ford, what makes this album one of the most important things of the year. Is the soul of this #DiscoMusic what shines the very needed energy to go through the emotional hits of this year. Living and dancing don't respect genders, sex, color, body, or age, and Jessie Ware has reminded us that union in diversity with an incredible size of sensibility and power that everyone, with no distinction, should empower and share.

    Noted Ed Sheeran apologist Jessie Ware (or, as I now refer to her as, Jesus Ware) has blessed us with her magnum opus: the album of the millennium, 'What's Your Pleasure?' - I really didn't think she had it in her after her last effort, 'Glasshouse,' was so sedate I couldn't even muster up the energy to be put to sleep by it. Alas, she decided enough was enough and gifted us with twelve sacred dance bops for the ages.

    Immediately upon starting the album, you have to ascend after hearing her God-given vocal talent... but there's more! What privilege it is to hear such exquisitely produced dance music in the year 2020, a year where some artists can't even write an actual chorus or avoid anemic "drops" even the most basic EDM producers would be ashamed to put their name to.

    It seems some reviewers are so flummoxed by what they've heard (or perhaps have been listening to too many *cough* Sines from Above that their judgment has been clouded) they have given it such a limp score as 3 stars... pay them no mind, because when you hear this holy grail of an album, you will—as she preaches on the sermon "Save a Kiss"—"keep on hitting rewind".

    'What's Your Pleasure?' you hear her ask. Desperately searching for your scalp that has been wiped clean off by this album, you plea: where's her GRAMMYs?

While i dont know so much about disco and funk this was definitely a good introduction to these genres for me. Thematically, all the songs are about love, its just so cohesive thematically and sonically. The songs are long and groovy, it is so enjoyable. There is also a hint of melancholy in them. She provides one dance banger after another and there definitely isn't any filler here. All 12 tracks are memorable for one reason or another. The title track is a favorite of mine, a song in which she asks her lover what they like. Spotlight has such a catchy bridge and outro its a great song to dance to. The title track in which she asks her lover what their pleasures are, its so seductive and groovy, i love it. OOH la la , one of my favorites just has a fantastic and flirtatious pre-chorus and post-chorus, its very cheeky and fun. Soul Control is another winner, with a banger for a chorus and post-chorus. Save a Kiss seems much more emotional and the beat after the post-chorus just goes so hard. Adore You has more house influences and is just a beautiful love song. In your eyes is probably the only sad song on the album and i love the moody beat, the production is just so superb. Step into my life has an R&B vibe to it and though it still has some disco elements, its very confident and assertive and its so unforgettable. Read My lips picks things up to the same energy found in Ooh la la and Soul Control. Its so good and also has very nice bridge as well. The bass guitar in Mirage is crazy, its epic , its brilliant. The chorus is so good and anthemic. The Kill is a very gloomy track in which she sings "Don't try to kill me with your love", i love the chorus and the verses are great as well. And then comes the last song, Remember Where You are, my personal favorite. Probably my favorite track of 2020 as well.This song is really just an anomaly, the songwriting, the vocals, the background vocals, the layers of instrumentation, everything is so gorgeous and uplifting. I love it so much. Thank you Jessie Expand

    A perfect mix of chill and disco pop; this album draws you in from the first track Spotlight, with Jessie's dreamy voice and the infectious instrumental that makes you forget it's over 5 mins long.

The next four tracks are back to back bops that force you to sing along and sway your head to the beat. Adore You is where the quality drops a bit (the deeper piano keys contrast too heavily with the rest of the album imo and it's a bit dreary), but I guess it provides a change-up to stop you getting bored. The next three tracks, however, are arguably the best part of the album - including the sultry In Your Eyes and Read My Lips. Mirage (Don't Stop) is imo too similar sounding to the rest of the album and it doesn't stand out to me, it's quite forgettable. The Kill is a bit better, but still nothing too special. Thankfully the album ends on a high note, with the final track feeling like a summary and wraps it up greatly; you can almost see the credits rolling as it plays. Overall, an amazing album and one I'd recommend to anyone wanting some damn good pop music. Expand

    Jessie brings heavy lyrics with the touch of the 80's. Her album takes us on a journey and tells us perfectly what it was to tell. Impeccable continuity, wonderful production and Jessie with her sweet voice makes everything fit together.

    Seriously one of the best albums to come out in 2020. I did not know this woman before in my life and I'm so glad I finally do.

    Facilmente um dos melhores álbuns de 2020.
    Com What's Your Pleasure, Jessie Ware está deixando sua marca em grande estilo, uma mistura fantástica de instrumentais pop, house e disco que são unidos por sua voz sonhadora, o álbum é excelente do começo ao fim, tendo algumas das melhores produções que ouvi nos últimos tempos.

    « What’s Your Pleasure » est un bijou brut et sans complexe. Tous les choix artistiques sont complètement assumés, des paroles jusqu’à la production détaillée et soignée. Jessie Ware et James Ford nous offrent un voyage funky-electro qui ne surfe pas sur la mode 80s du moment mais qui réinvente littéralement un genre propre à la chanteuse. « Save A Kiss », pièce maîtresse et hymne à« What’s Your Pleasure » est un bijou brut et sans complexe.

Une vraie réussite. Expand

    "What's Your Pleasure?" is a high end pastiche that makes you feel like you're there on the hedonistic dance floor of Studio 54. Jessie Ware goes deeply into the disco's most intimate and seductive corners which flower and shrivel in one breath.

    Jessie Ware is exactly that kind of artist pop music desperately needs right now. Honest, vulnerable, confident and strong songwriter who’s also creative and not afraid of taking risks production-wise. And that’s exactly what Jessie always was. However, on this album she’s taking her craft and pure talent to whole another level.

However, on this album she’s taking her craft and pure talent to whole another level. Inspired by 80’s synth pop and disco tunes, Ware sounds kind of “retro & cool” but also very groovy, fresh and current. Just give this album a listen and focus on that beautiful transition in begging of the opener track, Spotlight. That’s the “Oh wow, okay, this is gonna be hell of a good album!” moment we all rarely get. What’s Your Pleasure? is Jessie Ware’s best work to date and one of the best pop albums of this year.

    Jessie Ware makes us dive deep into disco-pop and emerge at the top of it. Sexy and soft vocals can sometimes look mainstream and unoriginal, but are almost always accompagnied by an amazing electro-style production. This style is never too much and varies between being subtle and punchy.

    Feels so nostalgic with this kind of music. Both of my parents used to play disco hits songs. Watching them dance like no other things matter and just have fun. Glasshouse still my favorite Jessie Ware record though.

    This album caught me offguard, I never thought this album will be so good, it's amazing and it feels like I came back to the 80s like hell her voice is so beautiful! The only downfall is most of the songs at the end of the album kinda followed the same path but at the end it's still a cohesive work

    probably her best album since Devotion. The decision to work mostly solely with James Ford on this album has paid off! They previously produced her best songs together. I think the sound production on this record is immaculate! Great rhythm sections too! I’m glad Jessie has figured it out as an artist. This is the most suitable sound and direction for her.

    It's a perfect pop record that's fun but also mature and elegant in its lyricism. Jessie Ware is so underrated, I still think this is one of the best pop records from the last 10 years. I can't stop listening to it.

    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

    great old pop vibes. instrumentales electrónicas demasiado buenas e interesantes, vocales entre habladas y cantadas en sílabas diciendo frases pegajosas con ritmos aún más pegajosos. excelente álbum

    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.

    As much as Devotion remains Ware's Magnum Opus. What's Your Pleasure is a clear statement of intent, with a lot of quality.

    Across the whole album, Ware’s voice fills each moment with incredibly lustful longing. It feels timeless more in its emotionality and drama than even in the sound itself, which stays firmly strapped to a bygone era. Her nostalgia feels like a proper tribute, mostly because it digs so deep to the core.
