BEFORE LOVE CAME TO KILL US

Jessie Reyez

Abrasive R&B that pairs a signature raspy crack with sparse acoustic guitars and heavy trap percussion. Raw, confrontational, and deeply vulnerable.

March 27, 2020 · FMLY

A jagged, unapologetic exploration of toxic love and existential dread delivered with a bleeding heart.

Moments Worth Listening For
the visceral vocal strain in the chorus of COFFIN where her voice sounds like it's physically breaking
the transition from sparse acoustic strumming to heavy 808s in DO YOU LOVE HER
the hauntingly quiet Spanish delivery on LA MEMORIA that grounds the album in her heritage
