Joyce Wrice enters her next chapter with ‘MACHIKO’
In 2021, Joyce Wrice captured the attention of R&B listeners around the world with 'Overgrown', a project that helped establish her as a distinctive voice in contemporary R&B. Five years on, the singer-songwriter returns with 'MACHIKO', a 14-track body of work that builds on those foundations while reflecting the growth of her artistry.
The new project marks the next chapter for Joyce, bringing together the vocal ability, songwriting and attention to detail that have become central to her sound. While 'Overgrown' introduced many listeners to her world, 'MACHIKO' captures an artist who has continued to refine her craft and explore new possibilities.
In the years since 'Overgrown', Joyce has worked with artists including KAYTRANADA, Erick the Architect and Duckwrth, adding new creative perspectives to her journey. These collaborations have contributed to a period of continued development, allowing her to expand her musical range while strengthening the qualities that make her own work distinctive.
That progression comes through across 'MACHIKO', with Joyce sounding increasingly assured in her delivery and songwriting while joining forces with the likes of JID, Odeal, Ty Dolla $ign and more. The project places her artistry at the centre, giving her room to explore the nuances of R&B while showcasing the vocal expression and thoughtful writing that have helped her connect with listeners.
Rather than simply revisiting the sound that first brought her wider recognition, Joyce uses 'MACHIKO' to build on it. The 14 tracks reflect the work she has put into her craft over the past five years, bringing a renewed sense of confidence to a catalogue that continues to evolve.
With 'MACHIKO', Joyce Wrice steps into her next chapter with a clearer sense of her artistry and what she wants to express.
