The single features Ari Lennox
Jessie Reyez releases her third single of 2024, rhythmic and passionate “Just Like That” featuring Ari Lennox, out now via FMLY/Island Records/Universal Music Canada. Following the iconic “Ridin’” featuring the legendary Lil Wayne, and the upbeat and playful release of “Shut Up” featuring Big Sean earlier this year, Reyez continues teasing more music on the way with “Just Like That” as a taste of what’s to come. On “Just Like That,” Reyez embraces the feeling of finally finding someone good for you, singing, “The last one left me broken but you came by and revived”. Together, Reyez and Lennox combine their talents for capturing feelings, delivering soulful verses that thematically explore comfort and security in relationships.
“Bongos lit. Before the session, Jermi Thomas had selected some beats he should play me,” Reyez shares. “That happened to be one of them. Then I just vibed out and it came to be. A few weeks later I was invited in the room as a creative to work with Ari Lennox, and once we were done working on her stuff, I took the opportunity to invite her to be on my record. It was a gift to watch her in the studio. Her voice is incredible, and hearing her on my song was a gift.”
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.
