Jessie Ware wants to do an album of jazz standards

It looks like we might have lost another popstar to jazz. :(

Having a bit of a chat with The Telegraph, Jessie Ware noted: "My man­age­ment would kill me for saying this, but at some point, if it all goes well, I would love to do an album of Gershwin and Cole Porter songs – because that’s the music that really made me want to be a singer."

Bloody hell.

"And I would love to be able to do a concert of jazz standards."

Mind you, hopefully she'll be busy for all that nonsense, espe­cially after the Mercury Music Prize, not that she's allowing herself to get too excited about that.

"I don’t feel the Mercury nom­in­a­tion is about stardom though. It’s just a real acknow­ledg­ment of cel­eb­rat­ing the album," she explained. "But all this anti­cip­a­tion… it’s about being realistic. It’s wonderful and everything but you don’t allow yourself to dream of ever winning such a pres­ti­gi­ous award as a Mercury. You never know when it’s going to end. I am just trying to keep it real."

We all are Jessie. We all are.
