Album DescriptionKiddo is the debut extended play by Canadian singer-songwriter Jessie Reyez. See more Your browser does not support the audio element. Although it's all over the place, Before Love Came to Kill Us radiates conviction from front to back, and is without doubt a true representation of its creator. That covers less than one-quarter of what Reyez relates here. Reyez is obsessed enough to "jump off the roof" (the Eminem duet "Coffin"), willing to pledge her allegiance to XXXTentacion's "Fuck Love" ("Deaf "), steadfast and grateful in the traditional ballad sense ("Love in the Dark"), and assertive in dominance ("Ankles"). Unsurprisingly, the emotions are varied and unfiltered. Reyez uses her voice as a protean instrument - the settings of which include crooning child, squeaky-swaggering hedonist, high-velocity rapper, and raging Gwen Stefani - and on the haunted ballad "La Memoria," she sings in her first language. Reyez makes her entrance with "I shoulda fucked your friends" on the adult contemporary quasi-trap ballad "Do You Love Her," and just before the reappearance of "Figures" finishes with a comparably wholesome form of remorse on the gospel-tinged "I Do." The in-between highlights are just as scattered.
Before Love Came to Kill Us simply, if in a deliberately messy way, expands on her EPs, singles, and collaborations. All of this has indicated that Reyez is a complex figure not cut out for unloading unified, easily digestible LPs. Top 40 pop hit for Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa, and has also worked with Romeo Santos, Eminem, and Sam Smith. She has co-written simple love songs like "One Kiss," a U.K. The uncommonly versatile singer and songwriter went multi-platinum in her native Canada with a sparse heartbreak ballad, "Figures." Its parent release, the Kiddo EP, also featured the glass-rattling "Gatekeeper" - an alarming account of her experience with a sexual predator - in which she sang from her perspective, and rapped and sang from that of the offender. Anyone familiar with the range Jessie Reyez has shown since 2016 was not taken aback by news that the artist fought the pressure to make her first album a cohesive one.
