NEW MUSIC: Jessie Reyez drops her full EP - "Being Human In Public"

You can feel the passion in her raspy voice, as she marks her place in a crowded field of musicians. R&B/pop singer Jessie Reyez released her debut EP, "Being Human In Public," on Oct. 19. The mini album includes previously released tracks, and the previous unheard title track -"Saint Nobody," in which she sings "if tomorrow doesn't come, I've got my guns loaded."

The Colombian-Canadian artist released most of the EP's songs over the summer, including the remix to "Body Count," featuring Normani and Kehlani, about sexual double standards. Reyez's soulful vocals pierce over themes of feminism, immigration, love and heartache. She's currently on a tour across North America to mostly sold out venues.
