“I had the idea of the dark side of love, and the bright side of death. The dark side of love being the fact that the day you meet the love of your life is the day that you meet the person who is going to hurt you the most - because statistically speaking, they’re either going to cheat, or you guys are one of the few that actually fall in love and make it until you’re old and gray. But then eventually, one of you has to die, so inevitably it always ends in goodbyes,” Reyez told us last December at The Annex in Toronto. “However, the bright side of that and of death is that if you keep this mortality on your shoulder every day, you live your life in the most authentic way you could. Today you might confess something you’ve been holding back. Today you might not lie, because you know that tomorrow you have to talk to God and account for how you lived your life.” Today you might treat somebody in more of a kind way. Longtime fans of Reyez will also find “ Figures,” the 2016 single that earned the artist international attention, on Before Love Came to Kill Us. When asked if the success of “Figures” made it any harder for her to compose new music, Reyez said it did the opposite by opening new doors for collaborations with other artists. “Honestly, it makes it easier, because luckily ‘Figures’ was one of the main factors that put me on the radar of a lot of labels and a lot of different artists. Because of the position I’m in now, I have the liberty to go to the studio whenever I want, and that’s a privilege I didn’t have before. Because Kiddo did so well, I have the privilege of working with and reaching out to a lot of artist that I admire and look up to. And before Kiddo and ‘Figures,’ I didn’t have that.
