Following the release of her empowering single "Body Count," Toronto star Jessie Reyez has unveiled a music video for the track.
The clip sees the singer shutting down haters in a clip that conjures imagery of the Salem witch trials — which Reyez calls "a bookmark in history for one of the many times women were persecuted" for expressing their sexuality.
"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," she said in a statement. "Whether that's being celibate or being sexually free is your choice. Your body count is nobody's business but your own."
