Jessie Ware
“Wildest Moments” (Star Slinger Remix)
Devotion (PMR)
I’ve spent much of 2012 singing this silky London vocalist’s praises, and as far as I’m concerned, she’s still batting 1.000 for the year. One of the many things I love about Jessie Ware is her incredible versatility. In her short career, we’ve heard her slinky and understated (“Running”); bouncy and twee (“Valentine”); and most recently, we heard her get her full-throated queen diva on via her debut album’s third single, the dramatic power ballad “Wildest Moments.” And on its remix, we get to hear yet another side of Ms. Ware, thanks to a bubbling, down-tempo remix from remixer extraordinaire, Star Slinger. Reminiscent of fellow TP-favorite Disclosure’s remix of “Running,” the remix highlights Ware’s powerful, Sade-ish voice while adding an entirely new feel to the song. Now we’ll have to sit tight and wait till Devotion drops on August 20. Should be special.
