âJessieâs abilities make her a new leader Latinx R&B heads can stan and the music industry execs can take note of.â â VIBE
âHer music, though itâs categorized as R&B, pulls together the impulses of folky singer-songwriters and syllable-spitting rappers as well as pop melody and hip-hop impact.â â NEW YORK TIMES
âNo one else sounds like Jessie Reyez.â â TIME
âJessie Reyez is a star.â â PIGEONS & PLANES
The powerhouse singerâs voice is chameleonic and present in every guise. Her debut is most satisfying not because she whizzes across multiple genres, but because of the skill she displays at each. â PITCHFORK

Los Angeles, CA (August 6th, 2020) â Colombian by way of Toronto Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and Polaris Prize nominee, Jessie Reyez returns with her poignant new video for title track âBefore Love Came To Kill Us,â one of the standouts from her critically acclaimed debut album, available now across all DSPâs via FMLY/ ISLAND. The video directed by Claire Edmondson features Reyez paying homage to her home-town as the city serves as the backdrop in the video. âBefore Love Came To Kill Usâ anchors and enmeshes the concepts of love and longing, hope, second chance, and life and death found throughout Reyezâs debut album.
The new visual arrives ahead of Jessieâs special âBefore Love Came To Kill Usâ performance next week Wednesday on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and follows her cameo in BeyoncĂ©âs Black is King visual album out now on Disney+. Reyez makes a menacing appearance 19 minutes into the film and during the song âSCARâ originally from BeyoncĂ©âs The Lion King: The Gift soundtrack, which featured Jessie Reyez and 070 Shake.
