The Rose Theatre, 24-26 High St, Kingston, KT1 1HL. Celebrating Superbloom, Jessie Ware returns Kingston for an acoustic set and conversation in the beautiful surroundings of The Rose Theatre. ‘Superbloom’ erupts into a glittering rush of Studio 54-inflected groove-pop, expanding Ware’s increasingly euphoric body of work as she explores our shared craving for touch, pleasure, intimacy and connection. The album features recent single ‘I Could Get Used To This’, hailed as her “ultimate entry into divahood” and the first track to fully capture the record’s assured, expansive spirit, carried by cascading strings and a sense of full-bodied release. Tickets here.
