What’s Your Pleasure? is a defiant return to the club-primed sound of Devotion that Ware, now 35, felt she had been pulled away from. Although it lives on an entirely different dancefloor, it’s reminiscent of Lady Gaga’s Chromatica, which, after some creative misfires, restored her to the Eurodance that made her name. In her early aesthetic, Gaga found a safe space to explore her previously hidden pain, although critics questioned whether it fit her otherwise always-forward project. Ware doesn’t have such a rigid brand, and so slips commandingly back into plush post-disco. Seemingly freed from commercial expectations and intent on embracing fantasy, the only point is having a good time.
