The Record Club: Jessie Ware to bring That! Feels Good! as next episode guest

Disco diva Jessie Ware will be the latest guest on the next episode of The Record Club. 

Join us on Wednesday, May 3 at 6pm BST as Jessie sits down with BBC Radio 1's Jess Iszatt to dissect the many layers of That! Feels Good! and the genesis of her creative liberation with both it and What's Your Pleasure?

Fans are also encouraged to submit their own questions live on-stream in the chat boxes as we'll be putting the best ones to them live - with one lucky fan whose question is asked winning a pair of snazzy Bowers & Wilkins headphones.

Having just released her opulent and brash fifth record That! Feels Good!, Jessie is leaning once more into a sweat-drenched post-disco aesthetic, paying tribute to both the queer culture that birthed the disco scene (just take its campy, vampy single Pearls, full of double and triple entendre) and an entire generation of female dance vocalists like Teena Marie and Grace Jones, That Feels Good! takes the liberation that fueled Jessie's freeing fourth album What's Your Pleasure? and runs with it. 

Just now on the route to securing her highest-ever charting album in the UK, That! Feels Good! sees the Mercury Prize-nominated chanteuse finally find her groove as a pop artist. She's never sounded so confident or impassioned in her music.

That! Feels Good! follows up What's Your Pleasure? which attained high critical praise, and a BRIT Award for Best British Album nomination, during 2020's lockdown, becoming her highest-charting record in the UK at that time at Number 3. This followed 2012 debut Devotion (Number 5 peak), 2014's luxuriant Tough Love (Number 9 peak) and 2017's Glasshouse (Number 7 peak).
