Already a big deal in the U.K.—the Londoner's debut album, Devotion, was recently nominated for the prestigious Mercury Prize—Ware first piqued the interest of tastemakers back in 2011 after contributing her velvety vocals to tracks by postdubstep bass master SBTRKT. Scheduled for release here this month, 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—the U.S. version of her single "Wildest Moments" features A$AP Rocky. Openers MS MR do refreshingly sincere new-wave-style mood pop, powered by lush production values and husky female vocals.
