Jessie Ware is back with the second taster of her forthcoming album ‘Superbloom‘.
The singer-songwriter’s new track ‘Ride’ was the first to be completed for the LP and features an interpolation of Ennio Morricone’s iconic theme from Spaghetti Western flick ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’.
Thematically, the pulsing electronic track touches on themes of desire and control, with Ware commanding: ‘I’m bad / Beautiful / Hold my hips / Watch me move…‘
“’Ride’ was the first song I wrote for this record,” she says. “I made it in 2024 with my best friend Jack Peñate and Karma Kid, who feature throughout the album. It’s a song for the clubs, for the dancefloor – fun, cinematic, cheeky and powerful.
“I first performed it at NYC Downlow at Glastonbury after headlining West Holts, and I’ve been waiting two years to finally put it out. I know others have been waiting too… So here it is. You’re welcome.”
Alongside the track, a slick, glossy visual, directed by Thomas James, sees the ‘I Could Get Used To This‘ singer paired up with actor James Norton, leans into the song’s sexuality, with Ware siting on Norton’s back while he’s on all fours and she sings the lyric: ‘I need a stallion who can go all night, someone to come and blow my mind‘.
