Jessie Reyez Releases Fourth Album A LITTLE VENGEANCE
jessie reyez released her fourth studio album, A LITTLE VENGEANCE, on 12 June 2026 through FMLY / Island Records. The album arrives the same day she is scheduled to perform in Toronto for the FIFA World Cup 2026 Opening Ceremony, linking a new full-length release to a hometown stage in one move.
Toronto and Illuminate
Reyez performed in Toronto with Palestinian singer-songwriter Elyanna on their collaborative anthem “Illuminate” for the Opening Ceremony. That pairing gives the album launch a live counterpart at one of the biggest events on the calendar, and it keeps Reyez in front of an audience well beyond the usual release-week crowd.
Her team also placed the Jessie Reyez Fund with strategic partner PLUS1, a parallel move aimed at expanding access to opportunities in the music industry for women and historically underrepresented communities. The fund also supports music-focused initiatives that strengthen underserved communities through education, wellbeing, cultural connection and preservation.
Ty Dolla $ign to RAAHiiM
A LITTLE VENGEANCE features Ty Dolla $ign, Muni Long, D Smoke, Lekan, RAAHiiM, and a Bob Marley sample. Those names make the record more than a solo statement: it is built as a collaborative release with recognizable voices across R&B and hip-hop, plus a sample choice that broadens its sound without turning it into a feature stack for its own sake.
The rollout lands after earlier praise for Reyez as having “breathtaking candor,” “vintage elegance, measured sweetness and an underlying fury,” and being “a true trailblazer in both Canada and beyond.” The album is also described as organized around three interludes and centered on love, yearning, self-discovery, and reckoning with former lovers, which gives the release a clear narrative spine instead of a loose collection of tracks.
PSA on exes
“Just a PSA, this album is not a sign for you to message your ex,” Reyez said of the project. She added, “If you are going through something, this is a sign for you to MOURN it properly so that you do not go back and try and save the dead.”
“You can miss something and still leave it tf alone,” she said. “Otherwise just vibe, cry and leave ppl alone.” That blunt framing fits the release date: this is a catalog-building album, but it is also a clear signal that Reyez wants the record heard as a line between reflection and relapse, not an invitation to reopen old ground.
A collaboration with Nando’s had already resulted in 500 donated meals, showing the campaign around Reyez’s name is not limited to streaming and stage time. For listeners, the immediate takeaway is simple: the album is out, the Toronto performance has added visibility, and the rest of the rollout now rests on how much of A LITTLE VENGEANCE travels beyond release day.
