Jessie Ware is back, and ready to take us on a brand new journey. On her latest single, “Free Yourself,” Ware finds liberation on the dancefloor as she gets lost in the music.
The funky house-disco-inspired self-empowering anthem is produced by Clarence Coffee Jr., along with Stuart Price, both of whom give the song an infectious touch with groovy pianos and thumping kickdrum.
“Free yourself / Keep on moving up that mountain top / Why don’t you please yourself? / If it feels so good then don’t you, baby don’t you stop?,” Ware sings, offering us a taste of her upcoming fifth album.
“‘Free Yourself’ is the beginning of a new era for me,” said Ware in a statement. “I’m so excited for people to have this song for the end of their summer; to dance, to feel no inhibitions and to feel joyful, because that’s how I’ve been feeling recently being able to tour again and being able to sing again.”
In a recent interview with BBC Radio 1, Ware revealed just how she’s feeling upon the kickoff of her new era.
“I feel empowered. I feel confident. I feel really raring to go,” she said.
“I feel empowered. I feel confident. I feel really raring to go.”
