Jessie Ware - These Lips
Savour the groove.
Enjoy the flavour.
Turn the music up a little bit louder.
Aging, for better or worse, reinforces the slow jam. The pursuit of pleasure changes; it's less about the blinding highs of youth and more about finding the sweet, sultry groove in the everyday. It's about savouring the groove, recognizing that the moments that once seemed infinite now have an expiration date, and in that realization, there’s a deeper, richer flavour to every joy you indulge in.
These Lips is an embodiment of this matured pursuit—a song that drips with both longing and contentment, like honey on a warm summer afternoon. Ware’s voice is a reminder that sometimes pleasure is found in the slow unraveling, in the tender, deliberate stretch of a syllable. It’s a track that feels like it was made for dim lights and close proximity, for whispered secrets, lingering glances and skin brushing against another. The rhythm is sultry, the melody like a heartbeat—a gentle, yet insistent reminder that aging doesn't strip away our capacity for desire, but rather refines it, focusing it on the things that truly matter. It's a grown-up kind of pleasure, one that understands the power of restraint, of anticipation, and the exquisite joy that comes when you finally allow yourself to let go.
And Jessie Ware… what a voice. Pure class.
