The cover photo is awesome but that font and the styling of the text ruins it for me.

But but but my Jamie Scott executive-produced album! Seems like it got scrapped. :'( Jamie Scott co-wrote "Finish What We Started" and "Til the End".

All these acoustic versions are just as strong. Loving everything I’ve heard.

Really enjoying "Egoísta" and "Alone." Do acoustic versions of songs normally indicate the direction of future singles?

The new track, "Sam," is a total snoozer...on top of being cheesy. Pass.
Tbh, I'm starting to get worried about this album. From the the songs we've heard, some I dislike and those I enjoy I don't feel the urge to listen to over and over like I did with those from the last album.

Haven’t heard Sam and SL did nothing for me but I’m still in love with Midnight and Alone so I’m cautiously optimistic that Glasshouse won’t be her best work but still a solid album.

Forgot this was being released within a week. With her, Niall, Sam, and Taylor, I'm really looking forward to Q4.

I listened once too, I'll have to listen to it more to make up my mind 100% but, unsurprisingly, I like it a lot less than Tough Love. It's not crappy by any means, but I can't see myself revisiting it much. The melodies are just not that strong here, IMO, although she took some chances in terms of production. Highlights:
"Stay Awake, Wait For Me" (this sounds like a sister to "Kind Of...Sometimes...Maybe") "Selfish Love" "Hearts" (I swear she ripped off the melody of Dan Wilson's song "Breathless" on this, but I love it) "Finish What You Started"

I was looking forward to getting this today only to find out the CD isn't being released (at least in America) until November 3rd. :ugh: I'll stream this over the weekend.

The album is very samey adult contemporary. I feel like all the edge is gone.

Wow the initially released tracks were a poor indicator of the quality of the album
"First Time," "Hearts," "Your Domino," and "Finish What We Started" are all excellent. Complex and engaging compositions.

Haven't listened to the album yet but I'm obsessed with "Alone".

I never found myself excited by Jessie Ware...always just entranced by her voice. On this album, I feel like her productions finally really hook me in. I was into Tough Love much more than her debut but this is going to top even that album, for me.
Stay Awake, Wait For Me is MAJESTIC. I don't really know what Domino is or what it is trying to be. It's...interesting but not sure if I want this kinda sound for her. It manages to bore me more than the slow songs LOL. I felt like I was listening to an inferior Take On Me by a-Ha or something. That said, it will probably grow on me, for the fact that it is a true up-tempo from her, LOL. Alone had me hooked from the opening note and then it just grows into something so beautiful from there.
Selfish Love is so great. Nothing else I can really say about that. Then, First Time comes and just...I am at a loss. I feel the way I feel about this song as I feel about Dress by Taylor Swift. Definitely my favorite song on the album, hands down.
Julia is ALL over Hearts. This song has to grow on me. It sounds sloppy, which is Julia's style, not Jessie's. It's not the best fit. I can also hear Julia constantly trying to overpower Jessie. Too bad she didn't get any credit for backing vocals LOL.
Finish What We Started is nice. I see that 1D writers/producers worked on this. They also worked on Niall's album and this sounds like it could have come straight from his album sessions.
Sam is a close second to my favorite song. The bass on this is so rich. It's so simple and beautiful. A+
All in all, I love this album. She is trending upwards for me.

Just discovered this album and been listening to it for the past few days. It's amazing. If it's her weakest album, i can't imagine the slayage her debut and sophomore album did.
