Jessie Ware Performs "Cruel" Live At The Barbican

Jessie Ware croons supreme in a beautifully shot live treatment of her single "Cruel" off the forthcoming sophomore record Tough Love. A track that's colored with boogie inflections over finely tuned, stripped-down pop structures, finds some visual representation in a quick live cut from the UK's Barbican featuring the lilting Londoner performing in what looks to be an arboretum of some sort. All done with band in tow, proving (even though there's without question some backing-track magic taking place) that Miss Ware's live set might just be a thing to be seen. It adds yet another stunning clip to a repertoire that's beaming with clean, smooth sounds and sights to accompany the moody pop voodoo of her Tough Love LP, which is available to preorder on iTunes ahead of next week's October 21st drop. Watch Jessie Ware deliver a touching live performance of "Cruel" at The Barbican below.
