Jessie Ware - Imagine It Was Us

With the help of frequent collaborator Julio Bashmore, Jessie seems to have found a tasty way of staying true to the silky, soulful vibes of her debut record, whilst pleasing the underground dance community she identifies so fondly with. Performing the track frequently on tour this year, Jessie herself has introduced her new single "Imagine It Was Us" as being heavily influenced by Michael and Janet Jackson, and whilst the staccato vocal phrases and funky guitar line are straight from "Thriller" or "Control", Bashmore surrounds Jessie's warm tones with familiar warm synths and an almost european dance beat that ensures the track pushes every guilty pleasure button whilst still being utterly irresistible.
