New song available now with the video to follow
Continuing a non-stop year, Jessie Ware releases her latest single “Freak Me Now” a collaboration with electronic pop singer Róisín Murphy. The song comes straight from Ware’s critically adored album, That! Feels Good! which debuted at No. 3 on the UK charts. The single is out now via Interscope Records.
The fan favorite track brings back the electrifying energy that was so beloved on Ware’s album. Produced by Stuart Price, “Freak Me Now” brings in familiar influences of 80s electronica and the modern sensibilities that makes Jessie’s music so memorable.
“It is a huge honor to have the queen of disco, Róisín Murphy on ‘Freak Me Now,’” Ware shares. “I messaged her hoping she may be interested in featuring on the song and before I knew it she was in the studio. She recorded all her vocals for the track and sent them over to us. I have admired her work for so many years & respect her so much. To have her on one of the most fun tracks on That! Feels Good! Is amazing. I can’t wait for us to do this together live in the future! I know my fans are gonna go crazy about this, as am I. I still can’t quite believe we are on a track together and have done a bonkers video together. She is graceful, she is generous, she is pioneering, she is Róisín Murphy and she is on ‘Freak Me Now!’”
“Jessie is just brilliant, a super talented songwriter and an amazing singer,” adds Murphy. “She’s truly beautiful but she’s also very funny and never take’s herself too seriously. We’ve been talking about working together for a while. When she sent me ‘Freak Me Now’ I just adored it and felt it was perfectly right for me to be on the song. We had mad fun dressing up on the day of the video, it was fashion chaos!! Like a high-class jumble sale, behind the scenes. We laughed at our ridiculousness and we were very silly all day! Just love her and loved everything about working with her.”
The video, directed by Theo Adams, will drop tomorrow (Fri, July 28th) at 10 am BST/5 am EDT.
Ware will return to the UK for six shows in Manchester, Glasgow, and London’s Alexandra Palace, before she embarks on her North American headline tour across several venues including Chicago’s The Vic, Los Angeles’ Hollywood Palladium and New York City’s Terminal 5.
