Rising R&B star Joyce Wrice is back with “Break Me In,” a confident declaration of intimacy that arrives today via BMG. The single marks her long-awaited return and sets the stage for more to come later this year.
Produced by Malik Ninety Five and Mike Baretz, “Break Me In” is a masterclass in tension and release. Over smooth, hypnotic production, Joyce delivers vocals that are equal parts vulnerable and commanding. She’s not playing games, she’s asking for what she wants: “I hate it when you make me wait… I need you to break me in.”

This isn’t the Joyce we heard on Overgrown. Instead, she’s stepped into a space of self-assurance and openness, ready to surrender to love on her own terms. Lines like “If you can make me rain and thunderstorm / Baby, I’m all yours” showcase an artist fully in her power, unafraid to be bold and romantic in equal measure.
Her influence extends beyond the booth. Recent collaborations with JD Sports x Adidas and Gap cement her status as a rising style visionary and cultural force. With a critically beloved catalog, standout features, and a loyal fanbase behind her, Joyce Wrice is quietly and confidently reshaping R&B.
