Jessie Reyez marks one year of ‘PAID IN MEMORIES’ the way only she can: with a surprise. ‘$TILL PAID,’ a five-track EP, is out today, a victory lap from one of the most respected songwriter-artists in the game right now. The project caps a massive run that included a sold-out headline world tour in 2025 and the October release of her poetry book, Words of A Goat Princess II: The People’s Purge. Listen here.
The EP’s centrepiece is “PALO $ANTO,” a collaboration with BRIT Award-winning rapper Stormzy, a pairing that makes immediate sense given both artists’ commitment to raw, unfiltered honesty in their work. The full EP sits alongside ‘PAID IN MEMORIES,’ a 20-plus track album featuring Ari Lennox, Big Sean, Miguel, Lil Yachty, 6LACK, Lil Wayne, and Deyaz, an album that cemented Reyez’s sonic range and thematic depth across themes of resilience, love, and personal healing.
The Toronto singer-songwriter’s credentials run deep. Grammy-nominated and 6x Juno-winning, Reyez has surpassed 3 billion global streams, earned her penmanship credits with Dua Lipa, Sam Smith, Kehlani, LISA of BLACKPINK, and Calvin Harris, and seen both “Imported” and “Figures” reach RIAA 2x Platinum certification. Her debut album ‘Before Love Came to Kill Us’ recently hit RIAA Gold, and ‘Yessie’ earned a Polaris Music Prize longlisting in 2023.
‘$TILL PAID’ is not a placeholder. It is a statement from an artist who has earned every moment of it.
