No matter the arrangement, she powers across it at full force. What’s most satisfying about Before Love Came to Kill Us isn’t that Reyez whizzes across multiple genres-these days, who doesn’t?-but the skill she displays at each. Her voice is chameleonic and present in every guise: quirky lilt delicate head voice and, often and best, a blown-out, purposefully ragged belt that sounds like it’s trying to claw its way out of the recording.
