Jessie Reyez in Concert
Combining unapologetic lyrics with in-your-face vocals, Toronto-born singer-songwriter Jessie Reyez is one of pop's brashest personalities. Reyez played guitar as a child and realized she was a music writer while in high school. In 2014 she collaborated with Chicago-based MC King Louie on his Canada-saluting track "Living in the Sky." In 2016 she broke through on her own with "Figures," a stark post-breakup track paired with a gripping video that showcased Reyez's raw feeling. "Evoking emotion from people is always a byproduct," Reyez told Genius. "It's not like I aimed to do that, but it's a beautiful byproduct that happens to come from certain songs."
Now, as a recipient of a JUNO award, 2018 Breakthrough Artist of the Year, she could say her subsequent catalog has been an object lesson in releasing that byproduct. Her debut EP, 2017's 'Kiddo,' was steeped in feeling while also showing off her musical range and the delirious "Shutter Island" pairs her yowl with macabre carnival music, while "Great One" shows off her softer side, its plush synths allowing her to luxuriate in existential questions like "What is life? What is love? What is time? What is choice?" The harrowing 'Kiddo' track "Gatekeeper," accompanied by a short film that she cowrote, turned a #MeToo-worthy experience from years ago that almost led to her quitting the music business into an artistic triumph.
While gearing up for the release of her second EP, 'Being Human in Public,' Reyez has kept busy with guest appearances and relentless touring. Her reworking of "Figures," performed with fellow Canadian Daniel Caesar at the 2018 JUNO Awards, added a dramatic twist to the song's heartbroken narrative; her turn as Eminem's foil on the controversial MC's 2018 track "Nice Guy" shows how she can hold her own against music's biggest names; and her performances at festivals like Lollapalooza and Afropunk have electrified huge crowds. Reyez's rise is proof that pure feeling can be a powerful connector.
One thing is for sure a live show with Jessie is never disappointing. I’ve been able to meet her in more intimate settings, online and many concerts. Jessie expresses her emotions personally and to her audience in a beautiful way during her concert. She took the time to interact with many fans individually. Jessie really goes above and beyond.
Really enjoyed it. Jessie Reyez is the anthem of my life at the moment. Great time to just go and sing along with her. (Record numbers of bras!!!)
Jessie is one of the most powerful performers I’ve ever seen, it was like magic. She sang every song I wanted to hear and then some not even on the set list. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!
The vibes were just amazing everything was perfect no complaints on anything I love her & the way she treats us fans 10 outta 10 experience and I can’t wait to see her again❤️❤️❤️❤️ amazing singer amazing person amazing voice !
This concert was a really good concert. Jessie Reyez is a good singer and the set up was good . They did a good job with the set up
The perfect concert from start to finish, including the opening acts, been to plenty concerts but I've never seen a venue that packed the second the doors open, Jessie Reyez is just incredible, I had a really good time, also the first time I've lined up with no hesitation to buy merch, absolutely no regrets about going to this concert, also love the venue (History), I feel safer in this venue then I do in a police station, the security guards are top notch and extremely professional.
Great set up! Love that you have a great view from the balcony or from the floor. The t.vs were a little distracting, i wish there was a camera from the performance that was playing instead of upcoming shows. During the intermissions, they should display upcoming shows but during the actual show, they should show us whats currently happening. Overall, 4/5 stars!
Jessie is an amazing performer , she is talented, funny , down to earth . I really enjoy her lyrics She really touched my soul and every inch
Her fans were really kind people, besides the fight that broke out beside me I felt safe. The sing alongs we’re amazing and she acknowledged us and taught us some lessons all while performing.
Jessie has so many classic songs that the crowd was carrying the show from the beginning, but she didn't stay behind and put on a hell of a show.. From the setlist, to the crowd interaction, to literally everything. 100% recommend seeing her live
