Jessie Reyez proves once again why she is not only one of the best singers and songwriters, as well as one of a kind of vocalists of her generation with her just released new single NYB. But also one of its best hitmakers too. The very catchy new record one that finds Jessie flirtingly sing, “My New York baby (Yeah). Took his truck and picked me up at Newark. Then he took me to the telly. And he took his time. He said, “I know that you had a long flight. But I got something longer.” That really shows her very great knack for not only making great records and songwriting, but hit records as well.
Jessie Reyez just a little over an hour ago also premiering through Vevo. A very cinematically deadly new RELTA-directed accompanying video for the record. Which sees her in a work office having a good time dancing and singing the very catchy tune. As her boss and/or supposed lover goes through the office and a bathroom stall trying to stop Jessie from her madness before they eventually end up together in an office room together. In a deadly Kill Bill style showdown that plays like a mini-movie to bring the record even more to life. While also showing why from her songwriting to singing, performance and music videos. That Jessie Reyez is those once in a generation artists who truly always puts the ART in artist in almost everything she does.
The video itself debuted in conjunction as a celebration of sorts for Jessie Reyez’s just released highly-anticipated newest album, PAID IN MEMORIES. That is 21 new tracks and has features from everyone from Lil Wayne to Big Sean, Miguel, Ari Lennox, 6LACK, Lil Yachty, Deyaz, Lekan and Saint Herison. Including previously released singles PSILOCYBIN AND DAISIES, GOLIATH, JUST LIKE THAT, RIDIN, SHUT UP and JEANS. The album also in a bit of coincidental alignment dropping almost exactly five years after Jessie’s critically-acclaimed debut album that also stands as one of the most definitive debut albums of all-time, BEFORE LOVE CAME TO KILL US.
