You thought you'd never need to hear yet another version of What You Won't Do For Love, right?
Wrong.
Wrong.

Actually, I've never had this thought. It's not like it's been covered to death.
...and it's not TROY. ;)
Wikipedia lists ten straight covers, and at least twice as many songs that sample it. Maybe it's the sample joints that make it sound a little over-familiar.
Between this and the disclosure remix, I guess I'm a fan. Anything else I need to check from her?
Here's an old live pa version
She's hot...
Definitely.
Had a crush on her for a minute. Both of these have gotten heavy rotation.
* I can almost hear hear her saying "ahhks" in a posh faux street patois with the same sound, Windsor Wreckah-R.
Love her stuff.
I appreciate
: )
I smiled the first time I heard it.
Commenting from the other side of the ocean, I love it!
The man has a point.
TOTALLY charming in this song.
There's definitely a consistency to the sound which would lead me to think he's done quite a lot of it. I read that Leo Taylor from The Invisible has done some of it too, although I'm not sure which cuts.
Mmmmeh. I mean, I know what she's getting at. But Izzi Dunn got all this and more covered.
Knock yourself out.
both my kids came running up to me when i stopped the izzi track and asked me to play it again. WAY better music in my house... thanks for posting. never heard of her/him before.
Well, I obviously disagree as far as the music's concerned, but apart from that, I happen to think it's a pretty smart idea to have the visuals be about creating the idea of Jessie Ware, The Singer. If you look at many of the female singers (as opposed to performers) who've blown up over the last few years, it's when the marketing has been concentrated not on building a flamboyant image but on putting the skills up front that sustained success has followed. I think this record is just left-of-centre enough to buck the obvious comparisons, but we'll see.
Her album is out in a couple of days, go and cop.
She is ridiculously good-looking in that classic textbook way. That she is tall is even better!
I like how she can work melodies and timing better than I like the sound of her voice.
I like the first two songs best. I have no illusions, after years of tear-my-heart-out-and-stomp-on-it raw soul, my palate is not accustomed to such a gentle sweetness and light approach to love and heartbreak. Some of her songs sound like adult contemporary to me, and not in a great way.
whoa
seeing her next week!!!
