| 3.3 great | Erwann S. STAFF | February 28th 23 |
As usual with pre-2020 Jessie Ware, Glasshouse features tremendous vocal performances, compelling production, but bordering-on-boring tunes. This one is no exception, with the first being full of great (if resembling) songs and the second accumulating alrighty tracks.

While Ware is as great a vocalist as ever, and the production is quite good, the composition and chord progs seem to be really ordinary and heavily drag this record down.

Sensibly better than tough love with a few more standouts, but still has this feeling of compilation of a few good songs among a lot of ok but bland stuff. The intro track and 2 are very cool, which made me hopeful. 3 is softer and more rnbey, 4 is catchier, and both are nice, but by 5 it's already starting to feel a bit ok fine let's get a move on. 6 stands out as very cool and completely unexpected, I thouhgt it was a cover but apparently not. Dramatic shift of style, that unfortunately is poorly integrated as 7 comes back to regular soulsey balladey stuff and is frankly boring in contrast. 8 brings some surprise again with a pretty post-rocky intro and an unexpected but well done unfolding, not quite a playlist jam but a cool track nonetheless. 9 is then a pretty slow song, showcasing how faulty the structure is in this album. So far this is still superior to TL and in 3.5-3.6 ballpark. Then 10 is another slow song but more on the pop side, kinda nice but overstretches a fair bit, 11 is also ye fine, then 12 brings this massively down by ending this looon downward energy curve on an absolute snooze of a country ballad - maybe the lyrics are nice idk but this is skippable as hell musically speaking. Brings the alb way down to barely a 3.4

Very laid-back and moody, but has that charm and sweetness typical of Ware. Some songs are jams, some songs bring the mood.
Overall, it was a fine listen >:]
