Jessie Ware releases the single ‘Midnight.’

“Midnight,” at its heart isn’t a weekend fling or a casual romance: It’s real, risky love, the kind of love that can curdle into emotional devastation if you’re not careful. She floats over an undulating synth melody before howling alongside a stomping piano riff: “Don’t let me fall through/Now that I need you.” She’s never sounded more desperate, reaching into the upper limits of her range with an explosiveness largely absent from her earlier work.
