‘Automatic’ is the third single taken from Jessie Ware’s hotly anticipated sixth studio album, Superbloom, out Friday 10 April via Interscope.
Featuring the dulcet tones of Euphoria actor Colman Domingo, ‘Automatic’ was co-written with Kamille, Karma Kid and Baz and leans into the soulful ‘70s disco sound Ware has made her own in recent years.
Explaning how the collaboration with Domingo came about, Ware says, “‘Automatic’ was the first song where I really felt like I was bringing the dance and soul world together for this album. I wrote it with Kamille, Karma Kid and Baz. Karma had this amazing sample and groove, and it all clicked instantly. Kamille and I couldn't stop writing; it just flowed really naturally. That's probably what I love most about it, it feels effortless and like it can exist in any setting. It's a celebration of romance and connection.
“I was actually the voice at the beginning at first, but I wanted someone sexier and smoother and I knew Colman Domingo was the man for the job! He comes in as this ‘voice of the love gods’. I remember being in a strings session for the album when I had the idea to ask him, and he said yes straight away. I gave him the script and he voice noted it back within the hour! I feel really lucky to have friends who are up for indulging my ideas.”
Superbloom arrives three years after That! Feels Good!, which peaked at #3 on the UK Albums Chart. The record comprises 13 tracks produced with James Ford and includes collaborations with Barney Lister, Karma Kid, Jon Shave (Charli XCX) and Stuart Price, while Ben Baptie (Sault, Little Simz, Adele) mixed the album.
