A new Jessie Ware album is on the way. On Friday, January 23, the pop singer returned with ‘I Could Get Used to This’, her first solo track since 2023. It’s billed as “the opening statement of a new era,” and Ware has heavily hinted at the follow-up to That! Feels! Good!, which has yet to be formally announced. Here’s everything we know so far.
What has Ware said about the new album?
Promoting the release of ‘I Could Get Used to This’, Ware talked about her sixth album in an interview with Vogue. She described it as “really soulful,” noting that she drew inspiration from My Secret Garden, Nancy Friday’s 1973 compendium of women’s sexual desires and fantasies, and Gillian Anderson’s 2024 book Want. “[The album is] enchanting, it’s romantic, it’s sexual, it’s confident, it’s celestial…” she added. “It’s playing with the idea of supernatural and fecundity and growing and learning and feeling strong.”
She also said she was curious about revisiting some of the thematic and sonic threads of her earlier music, particularly the neo-soul of 2012’s Devotion. “I think I wanted to go back to that era, but with so much more hindsight and confidence,” she said.
Ware used her press statement for the single to paint a picture of the LP. “’I Could Get Used to This’ is an invitation into the world of this album,” she said. “I wanted to set the scene of the world that I’m trying to paint in the album; romance, real love, performance, celebration and pleasure (always!) in a garden full of gods and goddesses. I wrote this song with Miranda Cooper, Sophia Brenan and Jon Shave who are legends in British pop music. I’ve always admired Miranda’s work so I’m incredibly glad to have a record with her. First key change I’ve ever done – I think – and exciting start to you hearing more from my work with Jon Shave and Barney Lister amongst the other fantastic collaborators on this project.”
Who did she record the album with?
Since October 2025, when she confirmed the album was written and recorded, Ware has been posting photos and clips from the studio. From those we know that, apart from Jon Shave and Barney Lister, one other collaborator on the project is James Ford, who co-produced That! Feels Good!.
What about the album’s visual identity?
The music video for ‘I Could Get Used to This’, our first glimpse into the visual world of Ware’s upcoming album, is quite a feast. Steeped in regal glamor, the video sees her transforming the stage into a secret garden. In the Vogue piece, she explained that she wanted to embody the ancient Roman goddess Juno, “the goddess of women, of childbirth, of fertility, queen of the heavens—hence the pomegranates, and the peacocks in the artwork,” while giving it a modern twist.
