Review

Jessie Ware's 'Glasshouse' takes her silky soul-pop delivery and turns it inward, creating something unexpectedly intimate. Recorded partly during her pregnancy, songs like 'Sam' strip away the glossy production she's known for, leaving her crystalline vocals beautifully exposed against minimal backdrops. The album finds Ware navigating the transformative terrain of new motherhood without sacrificing her musical identity – there's vulnerability here that feels earned rather than manufactured, especially when she lets her guard down on the more confessional tracks.

'Midnight' and 'Your Domino' balance the album's quieter moments with the kind of rhythm-driven sophistication that first put Ware on the map. The cinematic production wraps around her voice like expensive cashmere – warm, luxurious, but never flashy for the sake of it. What makes 'Glasshouse' stand tall in Ware's catalog is how seamlessly she weaves her emotional evolution into her musical one. The songwriting feels lived-in and truthful, making even the most polished moments retain a certain rawness that hits different from her earlier work. - Lena
