The song was officially released at midnight and is available for stream and purchase via digital retailers worldwide now.
Critically acclaimed R&B and soul artist Caesar's honeyed vocals along with
additional production make this a truly special reimagining of the pared-back acoustic
track, which first catapulted Reyez into the spotlight,
garnering over 20M views on YouTube and over 70M
streams of the song worldwide.
The reprise comes after December's "Cotton Candy",
described as a "gorgeous song about heartbreak" by Pigeons
& Planes, and October's "Phone Calls",
which NYLON wrote "will make you want to kiss the
haters and skeptics in your life goodbye for good". "Figures",
initially premiered by The FADER, is taken from Reyez's
debut Kiddo EP, also containing the stand out
tracks "Shutter Island" and "Gatekeeper".
An accompanying short film for the latter exposed industry sexism and predatory
behavior, receiving coverage from media including Noisey, Complex,
Pigeons & Planes, SPIN, Jezebel, Billboard, MTV, BET, Rolling Stone, W,
HITS, Interview and more. Reyez made her late night TV
debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performing
"Figures", and went on to premiere "Gate Keeper" on Late
Night With Seth Meyers and "Figures' at the 2017 BET
Awards.
Last summer Reyez was selected by superstar producer Calvin
Harris for his track "Hard to Love" on his
recent album Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1. The video, shot in
Paris and viewable HERE, is now up to 27.7M views. Of Colombian
heritage, she also appeared on the new album from a personal hero, Latin
American superstar Romeo Santos. In
October Jessie was picked as a global VEVO LIFT artist,
with a host of video content dropping around this including a short documentary
titled "Becoming", which explores her Colombian and
Canadian roots - view HERE.
