Jessie Ware

(2020), which was released to critical acclaim, reached number three in the UK, and produced the singles "Spotlight", "Save a Kiss" and "Remember Where You Are".

In 2018, Ware began co-hosting Table Manners alongside her mother Lennie, a podcast about "family, food and the art of a good old chit-chat", available to online streaming platforms.

[3][4] She is the daughter of Helena (née Keell, usually called Lennie[5]), a social worker, and John Ware, a BBC Panorama reporter, who divorced when she was 10.

[6][7][8] Her mother was supportive in her early musical career and Ware considers her to be "her hero",[9] saying "She brought up my sister, brother and me with so much love and fun and always told me I could do anything I want."

[12] In the years prior to releasing her first solo album, Ware did backing vocals at live shows for Jack Peñate (who took her on tour in the U.S.) and Man Like Me.

"Valentine" was partly inspired by James Blake's song "The Wilhelm Scream" and based on their own personal experiences in love.

"Wildest Moments" was released as the album's third single on 29 June, peaking at number 46 in the United Kingdom.

Ware toured in the United Kingdom in the early part of March 2013, supported by Laura Mvula, starting with Cambridge, Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Oxford, Bristol and ending in London.

In the summer of 2013, Ware played many festivals all over the world,[19] and at the end of 2013, Jessie went on tour in the United States again.

[24] Ware contributed a song for Nicki Minaj's third studio album, The Pinkprint (2014), called "The Crying Game" in which Minaj alternates between "devastating verses and pensive crooning" whilst Ware adds "haunting" and "soulful" vocals to the chorus.

In October 2017, Ware returned to the stage after a two-year absence in anticipation of the release of her third studio album, Glasshouse.

[26] Featuring contribution from Francis and the Lights, Ed Sheeran, Cashmere Cat, Julia Michaels and others,[27] it was preceded by its first three singles "Midnight", "Selfish Love" and "Alone".

Ware will be joined on the panel by Alan Carr, Amber Riley, and Samantha Barks, with Zoe Ball as host.

[43] Towards the end of 2017, Ware launched a podcast, produced with her mother, called Table Manners for Acast and Island Records about "family, food and the art of a good old chit-chat", featuring a new guest each week on the show.

The show has since entered its tenth season, including guests such as Ed Sheeran, Randy Jackson, Nigella Lawson, Sandi Toksvig, Daniel Kaluuya, Paloma Faith, George Ezra, Annie Mac, Paul McCartney and Kylie Minogue.

[44] On 23 January 2019, Ware announced on her Instagram that she had created a premium kidswear collaboration called "Anyware Kids" launching online and in selected retailers Spring 2019, developed by designer George Reddings.

I Have a Dream alongside Alan Carr, Samantha Barks and Amber Riley with Zoe Ball being the presenter.

The show will follow the search for two up-and-coming musical theatre performers to play the roles of Sophie and Sky in 'Mamma Mia!'

[47] Ware is a UNICEF UK ambassador and travelled with them to Bangladesh, Cameroon and North Macedonia to see the work they are doing there to help children who have fled violence.

[48] On 15 November 2014, Ware joined the charity group Band Aid 30 along with other British and Irish pop acts, recording the latest version of the track "Do They Know It's Christmas?"
