She's coming for blood. What's Your Pleasure? is a modern classic.

Unless there's a surprise release, "Free Yourself" won't be out today. However, she shared a snippet of the song on TikTok.

WYP? was the best album of 2020 (and then again in 2021). So I'm super excited.
I know around the time of the deluxe re-issue, she said she wasn't doing another dance album, but that snippet sounds fire. Give it to me.

To be released on July 19 at 6pm. BST (most likely as the Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1 that day). Co-written with Stuart Price and Clarence Coffee Jr.

Itβs time for new music. A whole load of new music. Next week, we start with Free Yourself, just in time for the heatwave and hot sweaty dancing (will probably rain the day it comes out but that doesnβt matter, it then becomes a rain dance) I wrote it on the same day as I wrote another tune that you are yet to hear, on my first studio date with the incomparable Stuart Price and my old mate, Coffee. It was easy, fun and I think we were all surprised when I went in for the belter chorus! I hope you enjoy it, letβs start as we mean to go on - free, joyful and dancing hard!
From her email blurb.

I never listened to the deluxe songs from WYP because, by the time Jessie hopped on that annoying trend, I was already boycotting deluxe versions of albums. That said, I am excited!

I love deluxe versions, if theyβre released physically. I typically buy the deluxe over the standard. Butβ¦just to increase streaming by adding on previous existing songs β that annoys me.

Lord knows I bitch about deluxe versions a lot, haha. But Jessie did it right. It truly expanded and celebrated the parent album without feeling like a cheap cashgrab.

I've listened to the live version so much, it's probably gonna affect my love of the studio version. I really hope the horns, drums and vocals pop like they did at Glastonbury.

First review from the Official Charts. An extract of the review says the following. "Free yourself," Jessie demands, on a chorus that sounds like its backed by a choir of 100s. "Keep on climbing up that mountain top. Why don't you please yourself? If it feels so good, then don't you stop."
Produced by the indomitable Stuart Price (Kylie, Madonna, Dua Lipa) and co-written by Clarence Coffee Jr. (who was responsible for large swathes of Future Nostalgia's brightest moments), it's a shimmering ode to self-determination and emancipation. In a world where the cards are stacked against you, all you can do is believe in yourself, keep climbing, and dance.
This new material bursts out of What's Your Pleasure's shadow, as it should do. No longer confined to the darker recesses of the disco, this is a track clearly inspired by several motifs; CeCe Peniston, Erotica-era Madonna ('Deeper and Deeper' especially) and Studio 54 as the rent ran out and they were closing the shutters for the final time. It's Italo Disco at its finest, a shimmering house-indebted banger that would have sounded as good in 1992 as it does in 2022.

Love it, dance anthem. My fears were a little founded, the horns/vocals don't come nearly as hard as they did live. But it's still a winner.

Wish I was loving this one as much as you guys. π’
Edit: I just blasted it on my good speakers, and it clicked for me. I think I would appreciate this much more in a club, drunk, and feeling myself lol

Another damn bop. As much as I miss her ethereal/r&b sounds, dance music is the right spot for her.
