Those who have followed Ware on social media, or on her podcast Table Manners (co-hosted with her mother, and focusing on food, it became a surprise smash hit, and has now spawned live shows and a cookbook), will know that she has a wicked sense of humor. Still, while plenty of the other facets of Ware’s personality were able to shine through on her first few records—her introspectiveness, her close-knit family life, her curiosity for experiences beyond her own—it feels somehow refreshing to hear her unleash the unbridled sense of fun that previously lingered just beneath the surface. “I think we touched on [the humor] with What’s Your Pleasure?,” she says. “But I think we definitely pushed it to another level with this.
“Of course, I want my music to be taken seriously, but I didn’t want to take myself too seriously,” she continues. “I think there’s a time and place for it, and I wanted light and shade on the record. I wanted humor, but there’s an incredibly earnest track on there too called ‘Hello Love.’ I just wanted it to show the different sides of my personality, right?”
So which side of her personality is she showing in a song like Pearls? “I don’t know—all of them,” she says, breaking out into her signature cackle. “I mean, I’m not singing that in the house every day, I can tell you that. That would just, like, ruin my kids’ ears. But I love it because it’s glamorous, and it’s fun, and it’s sensual. The lyrics in it: ‘I’m so nine to five, I’m a lady, a lover, a freak, and a mother’—I am all of these things, and I wear all of these hats, and I’m very thankful for that.” Ware pauses, before continuing: “I don’t take myself too seriously, but I take my job seriously, and I do it with ambition and vigor. I want it to feel fun, I want it to feel infectious, I want it to feel full of life. That’s kind of how my life is at the moment, and I love that, so I wanted to spread that a bit.”
