Jessie Ware to release new single

Jessie also describes ‘Night Light’ as a “sassy ballad”, despite the fact that it features a cello. She did write it, so she knows what she’s talking about. To a greater extent than her unappreciative boyfriend, at least.
‘Night Light’ is out via PMR Records on 22 Oct. No one’s officially said this yet, but the original ‘Devotion’ version may be paired with a remix by Hot Chip’s Joe Godard, who you may remember became Jessie’s ‘mentor’ as part of a previously mentioned Bacardi Beginnings project.
