Jessie Ware makes her final selections for Tracks Of My Years with songs from Prince and Wayne Wonder

Jessie Ware makes her final selections for Tracks Of My Years with songs from Prince and Wayne Wonder. Plus there's a final round of Ten to the Top before the weekend, and Mark plays his last Archive Anthem of the week.

Listen to Vernon’s full conversations with his guests for Tracks Of My Years on BBC Sounds, and watch on BBC iPlayer and Radio 2's YouTube channel, just search for 'Tracks Of My Years'.

Jessie Ware started her career by lending backing vocals to Jack Peñate and Florence + the Machine, before high profile collaborations with SBTRKT and Sampha – her voice sought equally in both indie and dance circles.
In 2012 she released her acclaimed debut Album Devotion – a timeless take on Soul and R&B. With a Mercury nomination under her belt, 2014’s follow-up Tough Love, was more 80’s inspired, and 2017’s Glasshouse saw her team up with luminaries Julia Michaels, Benny Blanco, and Ed Sheeran.

Jessie released her latest album Superbloom earlier this year and now she’s about to head out on her first UK Arena Tour – The Superbloom Tour
