Jessie Reyez kills us with her lovely debut album

On Friday morning, Toronto singer and songwriter, Jessie Reyez released her first full-length LP entitled, Before Love Came to Kill Us. The new album arrives with a new feature from Eminem and previously released singles, "ANKLES", "FIGURES", and "IMPORTED" featuring 6lack.

Stream the album below:

Reyez, 28, puts her vulnerable songwriting abilities on display in the most ruthless way possible. She transparently sings about death in clever ways in songs like "INTRUDERS", "COFFIN" and "KILL US". The artist seems to be reminding us of our mortality intentionally, in the meantime, the project fixates on romance and the classic relationship issues.

She reunites with a collaboration with Eminem on "COFFIN" after working with the Detroit-legend on his 2019 Platinum album Kamikaze on a few tracks.

BEFORE LOVE CAME TO KILL US is executively produced by Tim Suby and Reyez. The debut follows her 2018 EP Being Human in Public which recently snagged Jessie Reyez's first Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album. It is a true testament to her journey as she began her music career in the streets of Toronto, busking. Her parents emigrated from Columbia and she being proud of her heritage recently spoke on her mindset on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah saying,

"First of all, I have to thank my parents. That uphill immigrant battle is a real thing," Reyez continued. "Watching my parents have to hustle twice as hard for opportunities, have to navigate in a world (where) there first language is Spanish, and have to work their asses off. I feel like it taught me to make opportunities from failure or anytime something seems too hard."
