Motherhood has provided much of the inspiration for Jessie Ware’s new album, the singer has revealed.
The Jewish star, who gave birth to a daughter last year, said: “It was the best thing that could have happened for my work. I wrote eight of the 12 new songs since she’s been born. She’s made me more focused and more driven. I’m more decisive now.”
This week she is due to perform a series of intimate small gigs in Islington, north London – one of which will take place on her daughter’s first birthday.
She told the Evening Standard: “I’m scared I’m gonna cry, or just talk on stage about all the gory birth details that no one needs to hear. It will feel quite poignant.”
