The new single & video are available now
Jessie Reyez releases her second single of 2024, the already iconic “Ridin” featuring rapper Lil Wayne, available now via FMLY/Island Records. Following the upbeat and playful release of “Shut Up” featuring Big Sean earlier this year, Reyez continues teasing more music on the way with “Ridin,” taking listeners through a moment of lustful intimacy.
Coasting over a melodic blend of guitar strings and drums produced by Monsters and Strangerz (Dua Lipa, Justin Bieber, Maroon 5) and Jeff Gitty. Reyez opens up about how past intimate relationships have proven to fall flat and now desires to simply be physically pleased by her partner. Her classic songwriting skills shine through with her various plays on the word Ridin as well as numerous double entendres that fuel a heightened level of sexual healing. Lil Wayne’s iconic flow supports the track with his raw and witty lyricism and amplifies the tone of Jessie’s intense passion that she longs for. Her innocence mixed with the X-rated desires of the song creates a beautiful and poetic balance of feminist sexual confidence that all women can relate to.
Known for her fearless lyricism and emotive performances, Reyez continues to captivate listeners with her unique blend of R&B, soul, and contemporary pop. She most recently released previous singles “Shut Up” with Big Sean, and “Jeans” with Miguel – as well as the release of her book of poetry, Words of a Goat Princess, and appearance on Netflix’s Rebel Moon soundtrack with “Child of Fire” single.
Reyez is still going strong with “Imported” featuring Grammy-nominated artist 6lack which recently went double platinum while she continues to build a massive and loyal fanbase, now spanning over three billion streams worldwide across all streaming platforms. Her debut album Before Love Came to Kill Us recently reached RIAA-gold certification and stamps her as a significant pillar on the music landscape as she gears up to release new music – expected out later this year and early next.
