Jessie Ware has joined the BAFTA party.
The award-winning singer-songwriter will take to the stage during the BAFTA Film Awards ceremony later this month to perform a special tribute during the In Memoriam section.
“It is a great honour to be performing at the BAFTAs in such an important and special moment to remember people and legends that have passed this year,” said Ware. “I’m singing a song from one of my favourite movies by one of my favourite artists and really cannot wait to be on stage in amongst a room of such talented individuals.”
Ware joins the already announced singers from Netflix smash hit “KPop Demon Hunters” — EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami (better known as the singing voices for Rumi, Mira and Zoey) — who will perform the film’s record-breaking anthem “Golden.”
“We are honoured to welcome Jesse Ware and her extraordinary talent to the EE BAFTA Film Awards next weekend,” said Emma Baehr, BAFTA’s executive director of awards and content. “Her beautiful, moving performance will offer a special moment for audiences both in the room and at home, as we pay tribute to those in the industry we have sadly lost.”
Ware’s performance will precede the release of her latest album “Superbloom” on 10th April, featuring her recent single “I Could Get Used to This.” Her last album, “That! Feels Good!,” debuted in third place on the Official U.K. Albums Chart and market her highest-ever entry on the U.S. Top Album Sales chart.
The BAFTA Film Awards ceremony takes place on Feb. 22 and will be hosted by Alan Cumming.
