What happens when @jessieware comes face to face with divine disco-era fashion, Elton John’s platform boots and objects fit for a goddess?
In this episode of Unexpected Item, Jessie Ware explores the world behind Superbloom — her new album featuring “I Could Get Used To This,” “Ride” and “Automatic”. The third in a trilogy of records, Superbloom builds upon the jubilation of 2023’s “That! Feels Good!”,with a euphoric disco-pop sound inspired by Studio 54. More personal and revealing than ever, Jessie invites us into a glittery world of beauty, sensuality and full-blown goddess energy.
From a 16th-century plaque of Juno (Roman goddess of women, fertility and the heavens), to sequinned 1970s nightclub costumes, Elton John stagewear, and dainty porcelain dishes, Jessie reflects on the visual and emotional inspirations behind her Superbloom era. She also talks about club culture, fashion as armour, the evolution of her style with the support of her queer fanbase, her podcast @TableMannersPodcast and why food and cooking are such a huge part of her identity.
