The Reluctant Diva: Bonus Quotes
Apr 18, 2013
By Laura Studarus
Mercury Prize-nominated singer Jessie Ware possesses a malleable voice, able to belt out a ballad with a diva-like force or slink through the skittering R&B beats of a SBTRKT song. Her debut albumDevotion (out now in the U.S. via Cherrytree) is a polished homage to the big-voiced R&B singers of Ware’s youth, infused with late-night electronic grooves and an undeniable swagger.

Being a child in a space generally meant for, and currently filled with, adults can be both an exciting and unnerving experience. My father was a music photographer who especially loved jazz (while also capturing many rock legends with his lens) and I would often be the only kid at Ronnie Scott’s, the famous London jazz club, or the lone under-ager in the photo pit at a music festival, sometimes helping my dad load his film in an era before digital cameras.

At the heart of a night out, there is a feeling of risk and reward. You hear the four-on-the-floor disco beat, the chick-chick of a Nile Rogers guitar, the strings, the horns. You ease into moving, ignore the shyness, anxiousness, awkwardness and discover: “Oh…That! Feels Good!” More

The indie world doesn’t exactly embrace sentimentality. There’s emotion, sure, and lots of it, but it’s often more on the side of heartbreak and depression than the side that celebrates love found, loyalty, and devotion. Perhaps it seems too easy to swing for the fences, to make a bid for big, relatable, emotional sentimentality. More

Øya, day four. The best way to avoid jet lag is to never sleep—but by this point I was experiencing a new sensation: festival lag. On the way to the day’s events, I passed a man in the hotel lobby, sleeping soundly in a small nest of beanbag chairs. He is my spirit animal. More
