I cannot wait I just adore her and Devotion was nothing short of a masterpiece. And unlike Sam Smith and his ilk being critically lauded what Jessie has is pure emotion and artistry dripping from every pore and on devotion it came through in spades. Hope Tough Love brings her greater recognition.

Looking forward to this! I bought Devotion (Gold Edition) a few weeks ago for €4.99 on iTunes in a sale. I quite like it although it took me a while to get into it.

It's a slow burner agreed it's very subtle with only a few overpowering moments like Running . I really like Valentine on the gold edition.

There's something just so enchanting about Jessie and her music, she's just pure magic. I really hope this album gives her a huge boost because she deserves incredible success, I'm so excited to hear what her 2nd album has in store! Tough Love (the single) is a good start for sure <3

I like her- I've read & seen her in interviews & she seems to be a lovely person. I haven't listened to her debut album, although Running & 110% are cracking songs. Dare I ask if it's worth a listen?

She and her debut were slow burners. Just found her music so brilliantly produced. I hope album 2 is a winner. Would love for her to team with Katy B again.

They should do a whole album together.

Definitely! The stand out tracks for me are "Taking In Water" "Night Light" and "Imagine It Was Us" form the Gold edition.

It's absolutely divine. It's a lot more melodic and pop than Devotion, while maintaining that Jessie Ware subtlety.

Saw her on Jools Holland last night and she sounded great, but she really needs an image overhaul....looks about 40 wearing those dated trouser suits and drab make-up.

Saw her at the iTunes Festival just last month. She was great; a much more powerful singer than I imagined.

Saw Jessie Ware at bestival a couple years back and sort of fell in love. If your never gunna move is just a ridiculously good pop song

She passed me by - but she caught my attention on the Aaliyah duet with Katy B - I adored her sultry voice. So bought Devotion and now Tough Love - she's awesome

Bought this album today on CD, the first album of hers I've bought...also one of the very few good albums out this year, and this is just simply stunning, a nice change for me as I'm one of these unashamedly typical Saturdays, Britney, EDM pop lovers. Her voice is just a treat to listen to, I'm won over!!

It was purely that two performances alone that made me buy the record today, had that particular episode kept on sky plus and just kept going back to it, I disagree about her image though, I particularly like her strangely hard facial features.

Massive letdown personally. I can't warm or feel emotionally connected to it at all. I just can't. No catchy hooks. Nothing memorable

Wish her all the best though

I disagree. I find it so captivating and so much catchy and hook laden than Devition. The lyrics are sharper and the whole album feels tighter. My album of the year.

I concur! I think it's definitely a natural progression from 'Devotion' and just a beautiful, beautiful record. I'm quite sad that '12' was cut as I think it finishes off the album nicely after the deluxe tracks... perfect! My AotY too!
