The new queen of disco is ready to christen the dance floor. 

Last summer, Jessie Ware saved us all from our quarantine doldrums with the scintillating "What's Your Pleasure?," the British singer's album-length ode to dance music icons Donna Summer, Fern Kinney, Robyn and Earth, Wind & Fire. Now, the mom of two (and soon, three) is itching to take her critically acclaimed fourth effort on the road, embarking on a U.K. tour in December. 

"It's going to be very different to how I've done things before. Lots of dancing," says Ware, 36, casually chatting as she bounces on a pregnancy ball during a recent Zoom call. "There's like, gonna be choreography. I mean, I'm not gonna be Janet Jackson, but I want everyone to feel like they can do it with me."
