Listen: Jessie Reyez's debut album 'Before Love Came To Kill Us'.

We first featured Jessie Reyez as a Must-Know Artist back in 2018 (read that interview here), and today, Reyez releases her debut album, 'Before Love Came To Kill Us'.

The 15-song release follows two previous EP releases ('Kiddo' and 'Being Human In Public'), and sees Reyez tackle love, loss, and healing - with standout songs like 'Kill Us', 'Intruders', and 'Coffin' showcasing her songwriting talents.

Reyez shared a statement on Instagram about the album: "The whole premise of building this album was to make something that made people think about their mortality. Now it seems like a theme song to what’s happening irl. I’ve reached out for advice; the general consensus is 'drop it.' I put everything into this, I even pulled it down from the pre order to make changes because I needed to make sure I was passionate and proud of it - not the label, not my managers- me. So I did. If we drop now and the world ends tomorrow, at least my art was authentic."
