Margot Robbie, Reese Witherspoon and even Sir Keir Starmer accepted Ware’s invitations onto Table Manners, her hit food podcast featuring her mum Lennie.

But the singer says she learned to keep up with fans’ appetite by serving them a varied musical diet.

“I would look at the crowd at my shows and think ‘I need to give you some tempo’,” Ware tells Newsbeat.

“My fans have given me this confidence to feel free and push things.

“I thought ‘I’ve given them my vocal, I’ve given them mid-tempo, now I need to give them tempo’.”

Superbloom’s lead single I Could Get Used To This saw Ware’s new era blossom over flourishing panpipes and funky guitar riffs.

Ride, its follow-up, is a darker dose of disco, punctuated with cracking whips and the thundering footfall of wild horses.

It samples the signature whistle of the Western classic The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but Ware admits that’s where her knowledge of the movie genre ends.

“I’ve never seen that film in my life,” she laughs.

“I whistled it because we were making a cowboy song and I wanted the drop to not be my vocal.”

Ware needed permission from composer Ennio Morricone’s estate to include the sample, which she was relieved to receive quickly.

“They obviously love a bit of disco,” she says.

Jessie Ware’s arena tour visits London’s O2 on 28 November, Glasgow’s Hydro on 4 December and Manchester’s Co-op Live on 5 December. Her album, Superbloom, is released on 17 April.
