Because this person, you just handed them a gun…One of two things can happen: you guys either fall in love and you this passion and then statistically speaking there’s a 50/50 chance that it’s going to work or not.”Įven in life-lasting love, “you can’t escape the suffering,” she says. “The day that you meet the love of your life is the day you’re fucked. Then there’s the shitty side of love, “that I know so fucking well” she says. “The day that you meet the love of your life is the day you’re fucked.” Jessie Reyez You might be your most authentic self because you know tomorrow you may have to talk to God and recount how you lived your life.”
“You might choose not to be an asshole today,” she explains. The way Jessie sees it, that morbid acknowledgement is also the reason why someone might live better each day. The positive side of death being that we always know it’s coming. Memories of what used to be are told by her willingness to be the ride or die-type through the negative parts of love and into the positive sides of death. “These two contrasts live in my life,” she says, referring to the recurring symbols of life and death in her lyrics. Love acknowledged is love soon to be lost eventually in this lifetime. It’s an album that shows mercy to both the lover and the fighter in her, but perhaps its most relatable component lies in the way Jessie mourns something that is not yet lost.
In Before Love Came to Kill Us, Jessie is the storm, but she’s also the lighthouse. Before Love Came to Kill Us is a story about love, and so of course, it’s also a story about pain. Her major label debut album, Before Love Came to Kill Us, is expected to be released next month (March 27). Her collaborations have extended her talents past the Canadian market and into international charts not only in America, but also into Spanish-speaking channels. Always a little macabre, but also a little hopeful. It’s an identity that has been created by simply staying true to who she is and strategically sharing the good and bad that comes with being not only Jessie Reyez the artist but also Jessie Reyez the woman who feels deeply.īoth her EP’s Kiddo and the Grammy-nominated Being Human in Public introduced her signature voice by way of relatable stories of love lost and gained in addition to touching other topics like abuse in the music industry and the immigration crisis south of the border. While successfully completing The Remix Project – a program that connects marginalized youth with the tools and support to enter creative industries – she solidified a very raw and relatable brand for herself.
