Joyce Wrice Releases Debut Album, ‘Overgrown’

Following her debut appearance on the blog with single, ‘For One,’ featuring rapper Freddie Gibbs, promising R&B upriser, JOYCE WRICE returns with her highly anticipated debut album ‘Overgrown’ released via Sony Music’s The Orchard.

Executive produced by 2021 “Song of the Year”’ GRAMMY Award winner and 2021 Golden Globe Award-nominated producer D’Mile (H.E.R., Victoria Monet, The Carters), Wrice’s 14-track Overgrown LP includes notable appearances by Lucky Daye, Masego, Freddie Gibbs, UMI, Kaytranada, Westside Gunn, and Devin Morrison as well as previously released tracks ‘So So Sick’ and ‘Falling in Love,’ the latter of which was just featured on Lucky Daye’s Table For Two duets EP alongside songs by the likes of YEBBA, Tiana Major9, Mahalia, Ari Lennox, and Queen Naija.

Known for her sweet lyrics and distinct tone, Wrice delivers a more mature and assured sound throughout ‘Overgrown’, which finds the songstress showcasing her impressive vocal range and songwriting prowess among an all-star set of esteemed R&B and hip-hop collaborators. From upbeat standout ‘Falling in Love’ with Lucky Daye, to smooth and confident soul jam ‘Addicted,’ to the more laid back vibes of ‘Must Be Nice’ featuring Masego and title track ‘Overgrown,’ Wrice’s classically modern sound and perspective resonates with her generation

Wrice’s ‘Overgrown’ possesses all the toe-curling ingredients of the old good 90’s R&B fused with distinctive modern sounds, reminiscent of Amerie’s 2002 debut album, ‘All I Have’. Check out ‘Overgrown below plus songs recommendations:

Song of the Day: How Did You Get In My Bed – Entity

Natalie Diaz, the brainchild behind ENTITY, has entered onto today’s hot spot with the soft and rather sensual single ‘How Did You Get In My Bed’.

An ode to the familiar feeling of waking up somewhere you wish you hadn’t, the New York native explores the fickle complexities of reuniting with an ex whose emotions are still prevalent. Using punchy synths and commanding percussion, the indie pop track emulates the confusion that she is feeling with ease, with the dreamy melody perfectly aligning with the heartfelt lyrics about her first love and how it was a moment of realisation for her personally. Knowing she has fallen for another woman, this was Natalie’s breakthrough, finding out about her sexual orientation and that she can love both men and women.

Song of the Day: Runaway – Miliano

Drawing influences from Lauryn Hill, Simple Plan, and Future as modern-day inspirations while also showing off his Uruguayan roots in the form of Alfredo Zitarrosa and Carlos Santana, Uruguayan-artist MILIANO shows off his first release of 2021, ‘Runaway’, which tells the story of a relationship in his youth, where his teen ex-girlfriend “ran away” from her family to be with him.

Miliano (born Maximiliano Cohan) is a guitar player, singer/songwriter born in Harlem, NY but spent his formative years in Uruguay. Now based in Miami, the young artist has solidified himself in the underground scene with a slow but steady output of releases, garnering New Music Friday features in nine countries, including countries in North America, the EU and Africa.

Song of the Day: Flowers – Julian Skiboat

When you hear JULIAN SKIBOAT you stop and listen. Hailing from San Antonio, the 24 year-old multi instrumentalist and singer-songwriter evokes emotions out of each and every lyric and guitar strum. What’s astonishing is that up until recently, he has made all of his music on his iPhone 5.

Starting out writing music at the age of 18, Julian was a drummer for local pop-punk bands in his hometown. Now the young enchanter has found his own sound. Following the release of his debut EP, ‘Nice To Meet U,’ which has garnered over one million streams to date, Julian is now unveiling his next slew of singles. Transitioning from his usual “sad boy” romance songs, to tracks about self-growth, the releases are all inspired by his day-to-day living, touching on themes from his own experiences and relationships, to everyday occurrences and general thoughts, providing comfort to listeners by reminding them that we’re all in this together.

Julian Skiboat

His single, ‘Flowers’ was written after Julian had a mental reset. The uplifting song explores how some things really aren’t the end of the world and that just because something goes wrong, it doesn’t mean it can’t be fixed. Produced by Peter Kuli, ‘Flowers’ is the first time Julian has collaborated with anyone on his music. Sonically the track features laid-back, lazy melodies, effortless hazy vocals and soft, jazz-tinged guitars, emitting an almost therapeutic feeling.

Have a listen to ‘Flowers’ below…
