Jessie Reyez has been moving fast in 2026, and she’s not slowing down.
The Grammy-nominated, 6x Juno-winning Toronto singer-songwriter has announced her fourth studio album ‘A Little Vengeance,’ due June 12 via FMLY / Island Records. The announcement lands in the middle of one of the most prolific stretches of her career, with two sharp new singles already out and an EP dropped as a surprise earlier this year.
“Ain’t U Tired?” featuring Muni Long is the most recent release, and it’s a stunning piece of work. Two of modern R&B’s most compelling voices, lush piano, and a shared emotional frequency that’s difficult to shake. It follows “N.Y.F.F.,” a rap-sung kiss-off to a lying ex that showcases exactly what makes Reyez so magnetic: raw, unguarded precision that makes her stories feel personal to anyone listening.
Before those two singles, Reyez surprised fans with the ‘$TILL PAID’ EP, a five-track expansion of her critically acclaimed 2025 album ‘PAID IN MEMORIES,’ featuring a remix with BRIT Award-winning rapper Stormzy. That album was already a milestone, spanning 20-plus tracks with collaborations alongside Ari Lennox, Big Sean, Miguel, Lil Yachty, 6LACK, Lil Wayne and Deyaz, and it followed a sold-out ‘PAID IN MEMORIES’ headline world tour that confirmed her status as one of the most compelling live artists working right now.
The Reyez catalog runs deep and keeps getting stronger. Her debut album ‘Before Love Came to Kill Us’ is RIAA Gold-certified. ‘Yessie’ was longlisted for the 2023 Polaris Music Prize. “Imported” featuring 6LACK and “Figures” are both RIAA 2x Platinum. She’s penned songs for Dua Lipa, Sam Smith, Kehlani, LISA of BLACKPINK and Calvin Harris, won a Grammy for her contribution to the Bob Marley: One Love soundtrack, and was recognized by Billboard Canada with its Women in Music Trailblazer Award in 2024. That’s not a résumé, that’s a statement.
