Earlier this month Jessie Reyez dropped her new song "Body Count", an empowering anthem for self-love and expression that was hailed by Billboard, Noisey, Time, New York Times, Nylon, Paper, Vibe, MTV, HypeBeast, Okayplayer and more. Today she shares the official video, with Jessie finding herself taking on her critics, but in a setting you wouldn't expect.
On the video, Reyez states "The video (directed by the talented Peter Huang) is inspired by the Salem witch trials; a bookmark in history for one of the many times women were persecuted. Sometimes for allegations of magic but often for low key sexual promiscuity or sexual selectiveness. In short, you're going to get judged anyway, so as long as you're not hurting anyone and loving yourself, might as well do whatever you want. Whether that's being celibate or being sexually free is your choice. Your body count is nobody's business but your own."
Watch the official "Body Count" video, read Jessie Reyez's interview with Rolling Stone talking on it and catch her live on tour with Halsey and festivals this summer.
