Jessie Ware returns with “Ride,” a slow-burning, high-heat dance cut that has been building anticipation since she first debuted it at Glastonbury’s NYC Downlow following her West Holts headline set in 2024. Now officially released via Island EMI, the track slides into motion with a hypnotic groove that subtly nods to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly theme before locking into full-body momentum.
“Ride was the first song I wrote for this record,” Jessie shares. Created with Jack Peñate and Karma Kid, the track pulses with club energy while staying playful and commanding. “It’s a song for the clubs, for the dancefloor – fun, cinematic, cheeky and powerful.” Ware leans into desire and control with lines like “I’m bad / Beautiful / Hold my hips / Watch me move,” owning every beat.
“Ride” sets the tone for her upcoming album ‘Superbloom,’ out April 10, positioning Ware at the center of a cinematic, tension-filled soundscape built for movement and late-night electricity. This is Jessie Ware stepping fully into the spotlight and turning up the temperature.
