- (beep) you corona, you've made my brain go dead!
Hi, I'm Jessie Ware and I'm gonna play the game
called, Song Association with Elle.
I have 10 seconds to sing or rap a song
associated with a word that Elle are going to give me.
I have my husband being the cameraman.
We're at home.
The kids are asleep.
Of course, before we do all this,
you must check out my fourth studio album.
It's called, "What's your pleasure."
Let's go, give me the first one.
Sam would you like to join me?

Talk, oh god.
Why don't I know anything?
Talk, talk, talk, talk.
Oh (beep) this is so.
♪ You give me the sweet talk ♪
♪ And it works for me ♪
That is so a megalomaniac.
I'm so sorry.
The most challenging song
to record on, "What's Your Pleasure"
probably was "Save the Kiss"
because we had that song for ages.
We wrote it, Shun, Danny, and James Ford and I.
We wrote it, but we have really kind of
slightly obnoxious production on it.
I wanted to strip it back and I wanted to feel
like it worked on the record.
The song was good,
but it was just trying to navigate our way
to it feeling right for the record.
And I'm really proud that we persevered because I mean,
we had like 50 versions of it.
♪ Save a kiss for me tonight ♪
♪ Wait for me no compromise ♪
♪ Promise you it won't be long ♪
♪ Just save a little bit of your loving baby ♪

I don't even know who that is.
(laughs)
Oh my God, why did you invite me onto this?
Right, okay, next one.
Pleasure.

Janet Jackson, that one.
Yeah, pleasure principle, yeah.
Three songs that are keeping me lifted
whilst being told to stay home.
What have we been listening to a lot?
Have we been listening to loads of Crying Ben.

♪ We could be together ♪
♪ Just you and I ♪
♪ We could be for ♪

"Murphy's Law", Róisín Murphy is so good.
♪ Murphy's law I'm gonna meet you tonight ♪
Her home performances
have been off the scale during lockdown.
What else have you been listening to babe?
Solange, "Cranes in the Sky."
My daughter does really expressive,
contemporary dance to it.
She's three and a half
and she is pulling out some moves to that.
But also her favorite song was Demi Lovato, "Confidence."
So we kind of flipped between both of those.
Feel, oh, I know, okay, feel.
♪ I feel for you ♪
♪ I think I love you ♪
The best song ever.
♪ I feel for you ♪
Fix, oh.
♪ I will try to fix you ♪
Coldplay, thank you, Chris Martin.
Light.
♪ Flashing lights ♪
Yes, yeah.
Between, between, between, between?
You know what, in every Zoom quiz that I've done
on this fricking lockdown we've come last.
So this is really just demoralizing.
Between, between what would you say?

Oh my God, that was so out of tune.
Carly Rae Jepsen, I love you girl.
The queen of the quiche, by the way,
if you had listened to the podcast.
Thank you so much for letting me play
this painful game with you.
I don't think I've done very well in this challenge
and I'm not surprised my brain isn't working properly.
