The as-yet-untitled record has her working with a stacked cast of songwriting and producing collaborators: along with Devotion co-conspirators Dave Okumu, Julio Bashmore, and Kid Harpoon, Ware also enlisted Miguel, Arctic Monkeys producer James Ford, Torontoâs Nineteen85 (who co-produced Drakeâs âHold On Weâre Going Homeâ), along with go-to songwriter Ed Sheeran, whoâs helped write singles for Taylor Swift and One Direction. But the recordâs most prominent co-stars are the executive-producer team BenZel, aka London electro expert Two Inch Punch and one-time Dr. Luke protégé Benny Blanco, who helmed about half of the new album, including first UK single âTough Loveâ.
