History

Historical Context

The disco era peaked in the late 1970s, with artists like Donna Summer and the Bee Gees selling over 100 million records worldwide. Following a backlash in the 1980s, disco saw a revival in the 1990s and early 2000s, influenced by nostalgia and new genres like nu-disco. Jessie Ware's album, *Superbloom*, reflects this enduring legacy, blending disco-pop with contemporary themes.
