After thrilling fans with ‘I Could Get Used To This’, the first single from her upcoming sixth studio album Superbloom, Jessie Ware has followed up with the album’s superb second single ‘Ride’.
First played at Glastonbury’s NYC Downlow nightclub after her headline performance on the West Holts stage in 2024, the track interlopes composer Ennio Morricone’s The Good, the Bad and the Ugly theme, crafting a vibrant club classic with a slight western feel.
“‘Ride ‘was the first song I wrote for this record. I made it in 2024 with my best friend Jack Peñate and Karma Kid, who feature throughout the album,” says Ware. “It’s a song for the clubs, for the dancefloor - fun, cinematic, cheeky and powerful. I first performed it at NYC Downlow at Glastonbury after headlining West Holts, and I’ve been waiting two years to finally put it out. I know others have been waiting too… so here it is. You’re welcome.”
Ware’s Superbloom arrives three years after That! Feels Good!. Set for release on Friday 10 April via Interscope (pre-order here), Superbloom comprises 13 tracks and was 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.
