Jessie Ware

Already a big deal over in the U.K.—the Londoner's debut album, Devotion, was recently nominated for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize—Ware first piqued the interest of tastemakers back in 2011 after contributing her velvety vocals to a few tracks by postdubstep bass master SBTRKT. Her debut Devotion is a beguiling effort that takes the silken soul-stylings of Sade and gives them a modern polish. Catch the 28-year-old now as her star continues to rise.
