Inside the Playbook: Jessie Reyez on The True Story Behind The Song 'Figures'

13 min•8 juni 2025

We revisit the origin story of Jessie Reyez’s breakout hit “Figures” from a chance car ride in Sweden to a full-blown industry bidding war.

It’s a behind-the-scenes look at how one song sparked a movement, shifting careers and commanding attention across major labels. We explore the key moments that shaped the journey: gut decisions, hard conversations, and the conviction it takes to bet on yourself.

This clip also unpacks the artist-manager relationship and the non-negotiables that shaped Jessie’s path: authenticity, respect, and control. A powerful story about creative instinct, industry leverage, and building with integrity.

A conversation like this doesn't come cheap.
