Reiyo The Giant rises with grit and grace on “The Show Must Go On”

“The Show Must Go On” is the latest single from Bronx-based artist Reiyo The Giant.

Drawing from the sonic lineage of Nina Simone, Sade, Erykah Badu, and Billie Holiday, Reiyo’s sound is rooted in the spirit of Black womanhood. Their soulful voice and unfiltered passion tell stories of love, longing, and survival.

The 3:01 track opens with a galactic shimmer—atmospheric, ambient textures that slowly give way to Reiyo’s bright vocals. At the 40-second mark, a breakbeat drum and bass rhythm kicks in, and the refrain “oh, the show must go on and on and on and on” lingers with urgency.

Vocally, Reiyo’s high register channels the clarity of a more playful, soulful Ellie Goulding—layered with grit and emotional weight.

On the meaning behind the track, Reiyo shares, “At its surface, 'The Show Must Go On' is an anthem for the burnt out yet eager performer. At its core, it is about feeling the need to keep entertaining and pleasing others in order to avoid raising any flags that something might actually be wrong.”

Gritty, explosive, and complex, “The Show Must Go On” showcases Reiyo’s talent for fusing texture, tension, and tenderness. It captures that moment when resolve kicks in—when you decide to give your all, no matter the cost.

An impressive single from an artist more than worthy of the spotlight.
