The Kelly Alexander Show

JUNO Award-winning artist Jessie Reyez joins us on this week’s episode of The Kelly Alexander Show! Jessie opens up about her latest album “Paid in Memories,” her new poetry book “The People’s Purge: Words of a Goat Princess Volume II,” and what life on tour has really been like. She also shares the emotional difference between performing a full concert and reading intimate pieces from her poetry collection on stage.

We talk about the most “Canadian” thing about Jessie, who she’d choose as her flight crew to space and why she loves collaborating with Eminem and Calvin Harris. Jessie also reflects on how creativity has evolved for her and what keeps her grounded during such a busy year.

Plus, we break down this week’s biggest entertainment stories – including the new Netflix–Warner Bros. deal, an upcoming surprise guest appearance on Grey’s Anatomy and a heart-melting new wildlife docuseries you won’t want to miss.

Enjoy the conversation and thank you for listening to The Kelly Alexander Show!
