Jessie Reyez continues to show her undeniable ears and talent for writing hit records with her latest sure to be undeniable hit single, RIDIN. That she has been teasing over the past several weeks and finally releases today. Which has the very talented singer and songwriter over the very cinematic co-production from The Monsters & Strangerz with frequent collaborator Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman in her signature powerful and soulfully passionate vocals singing about a love she is completely ridin’ for. Lil Wayne also featured on the track and adding a pretty solid guest verse with some really solid double entendres about the type of nasty things he would do to his woman.
Jessie premiering through Vevo. A little over an hour ago, a cinematically fun new RELTA-directed accompanying video for the record. That opens with the beautifully talented multi-awards winning singer and songwriter in a white tank top and matching white panties up in the clouds. Then appearing in bed doing sensual moves while so passionately singing the very passionately playful lyrics before levitating above the bed. A very playful placement of her book, Words of a Goat Princess, right next to inside the bed. Jessie is then seen levitating above the clouds of the skyline of her hometown of Toronto, Canada. Then in a bikini riding in a yellow Camry that she crashes into a house. Where Lil Wayne is seen sitting on a green couch with Jessie next to him upside down in a black Lago 69 jersey and green camouflage shorts with high heels white socks. As Wayne raps his very smooth and solid guest verse. While he is then seeing smoking as him and Jessie sitting next to each other are seeing smiling, laughing and rocking with each other. As they sing together the very soulfully passionate, almost rock-like chorus and bridge of the record.
By the time we get to the latter part and rest of the very cinematically fun clip Jessie is seen throughout a lot of it having fun by the bed so passionately and soulfully singing into her phone and a fan like a mic the very catchy lyrics. The clip eventually showing that she is in a purple bed-set on an actual video set. With the very cinematically fun video then ending in a black-and-white background with a bunch of vinyls, open notebooks, a stereo and fan blowing inside or by the bed. As well as a guitar in the corner behind Jessie while she sits in bed and teases another new song from her upcoming highly-anticipated and long-awaited third solo album. That’s expected to drop either in the coming months or beginning of next year.
The cinematically fun new video. Really bringing the cinematically playfully fun and soulfully passionate great songwriting and lyrics of the record even more to life. In a way that truly puts the ART in artist almost everytime she releases new music or a video. As well as showing why Jessie is one of the few artists left whose ART almost always constantly elevates her as one of the few true to the core artists. That is easily not only one of the best of her generation, but of all-time.
