Tour is in support of new album
Earlier this month, Jessie Reyez announced her sophomore album, Yessie, arriving September 16th via FMLY/Island Records. In support, Reyez announces The Yessie Tour, a 29-date fall tour across North America, produced by Live Nation.
Tickets go on sale to the general public starting Friday, September 2nd at 10 am local time via Ticketmaster.
In anticipation of her first release to come in the nearly two years since her critically heralded debut Before Love Came To Kill Us landed, Reyez announced the new album in a big way with the emblazoned break-up ballad, “Mutual Friend,” proving yet again she is an unstoppable force. Reyez premiered the track live on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which re-airs on Tuesday, August 30th, clad in a sheer and velvet catsuit, backed by a piano and 12 piece string section, giving an emotional and evocative performance that left anyone in doubt speechless. On the record, Reyez clears the air to an ex-lover and releases any lingering emotion she carries while declaring her independence – shown as scenes of beautiful rage, dying flowers symbolic of the relationship, and fluid dancing in the music video directed by Peter Huang.
After releasing two critically acclaimed EPs, Reyez released Before Love Came To Kill Us in March of 2020. Against unenviable odds, the album charted Top 5 on Billboard’s R&B Album Chart, amassed over 1.2 billion global streams, and earned the title of Top Female Debut Album and Top R&B Album of 2020 – cementing Reyez as a worldwide phenomenon.
Earlier this summer, Reyez shared her first preview track “Fraud,” which is at 5.6 million streams to date. Earlier this week, the Canadian songstress extended her global publishing deal with BMG which includes Yessie.
