Jessie Ware Drops 'Platinum Pleasure Edition' of 'What’s Your Pleasure?'

One year after the release of her critically acclaimed What’s Your Pleasure?, British singer-songwriter Jessie Ware has dropped the “Platinum Pleasure Edition” of the album, featuring a whopping six new songs as well as her 2018 single “Overtime” and a previously released remix of “Adore You,” featuring Chinese singer Bibi Zhou.

Now that the world is inching back toward something like normal, the re-release could give the disco-driven What’s Your Pleasure?a much-deserved second life. That means we might hear these songs—some of which, like the breathy “Hot N Heavy,” follow in the same vein as the original album—in an actual club this summer.

The new edition also allows Ware and her collaborators, including SG Lewis and Simian Mobile Disco’s James Ford, to expand beyond What’s Your Pleasure?’s sonic remit, dabbling in early-’80s offshoots like Italo disco and hi-NRG on “Eyes Closed” and “Impossible,” early-’90s house on “Please,” and Berlin-style synth-pop on “Pale Blue Light.”
