Jessie Ware’s 2023 album, “That! Feels! Good!” is a sensual, groovy album that is absurdly catchy. The 40 minutes of disco and pop are so well assembled and paced that you won’t even notice the time flying by.

After a slower cut with the opening track, the second song, “Free Yourself,” really gets the album going. The driving piano keys that are synced with the drums practically force you to nod your head in time with the song. Ware’s incredibly fun writing is shown a lot on this song in the infectious repetition that are her verses and choruses. Her smooth vocals lend themselves perfectly to this rhythmic bop that doesn’t slow down for even one second

The third song, “Pearls,” utilizes twinkling chimes and playful la’s baked into the beat. The real star of this song though is Ware’s vocals. The amount of hooks and memorable ideas on this song could supply an entire album, but Ware decides to condense them all into one song which can feel overwhelming in the best way possible.

This is a disco album through and through but the seventh song, “Freak Me Now” leans into that fact a little further than most other songs. The pulsating kick drum mixed with what sounds like air whooshing by and another bass line sure to get stuck in your head makes this one of the best songs on the album. Ware’s over-the-top charisma, sounding like she’s luring you on the dance floor, pairs perfectly with Clarence Coffee Jr. on background vocals who sounds like a DJ instructing you onto the dance floor.

“That! Feels! Good” is one of the best albums of 2023 and is absolutely worth a listen but it also deserves a warning as once you give it that first listen you won’t be playing anything else for a long time.
