Toronto native Jessie Reyez has just premiered her newest visual for her song“Body Count” which talks about shutting down slut-shaming and encourages women to sleep with whomever they want and not feel the need to explain themselves to no one as men have the freedom to do the same and no one says anything at all.
"It was inspired by free love. It’s about being with who you want to be with without getting judged and how it’s a luxury for men, because a lot of times women are encouraged to keep their body count [a slang term for your number of sexual partners] low, whereas men can walk in and get high-fived. So it’s about eliminating the judgement and shame when it comes to that. Anybody who has an opinion on it can go kick rocks."
The song received Salem witch trial-themed music video: "It’s a bookmark in history for women in a time that was oppressive. It's remembered for allegations of magic, but more often than not it was for sexual promiscuity or rejecting the wrong guy and getting prosecuted for it. I thought it was really fitting not only because it makes sense, but because there are still so many places in the world where women get judged or are placed in f--ked up situations like that, where they’re getting put down for s--t that men would not get put down for."
