  • Young, soulful English singer Jessie Ware has a powerful voice, but it's used with grace. Her singing brings warmth to electronic music and swoon to her own pop, so it's no surprise that her visit to the Tiny Desk was filled with casual poise and spontaneity.
    Ware's dramatic nightclub shows are fleshed out with a full band, but here she's able to convey all that emotion with just a guitarist (Joe Newman) and that voice. To add to the casual flair of the day, Jesse Boykins III - the opening act on a tour which brought her through Washington, D.C. - came to watch the Tiny Desk, and Ware asked him to sing with her, unrehearsed. That confident ambition seeps right through the screen in this performance. -- BOB BOILEN

    I love how simple she dresses and how humble she is. Her voice is just there. And there's so much emotion behind it. She doesn't even have to gesture to make it interesting. (IE hands in pockets the whole time). Lol love it!
