New Irish Alt-Pop Enchantress JOYCE Unveils ‘Ego’ – A Mesmerizing Gothic Anthem

With “Ego” released on April 22, 2025, JOYCE has once again woven her spellbinding magic into the alt-pop and alternative soundscape.

This is her most captivating and ethereal work yet, merging gothic romance, ancient mysticism, and sleek high fashion aesthetics in a way that’s uniquely hers.

From the first beat, “Ego” feels like a spell you can dance to — lush, hypnotic production courtesy of Kriss Burda wraps around JOYCE’s hauntingly seductive vocals, creating a soundscape that’s both anthemic and deeply vulnerable. It’s a track that shimmers with the confidence of future rebellion yet reveals fleeting glimpses of heartache if you dare to listen closer.

JOYCE is an alt-pop artist who defies convention, blending afrofuturistic elements with gothic elegance to craft a sonic and visual identity unlike any other. Her music is a beguiling mix of seductive melodies, introspective lyrics, and atmospheric allure — each note wrapped in a veil of mysticism and synthpop.

“Ego” is another step in her rise as not only one of the most intriguing voices in Irish alternative music, but also as an emerging force in the alt-pop and avant-garde scenes. Her seamless fusion of cyber-futuristic beats and timeless vocals is intoxicating.

Speaking of the track, JOYCE said, “I wanted to make something that feels ancient, almost like an offering to the Gods to ease my pain. A sonic shield you can wrap yourself in when you need to feel untouchable.” That’s exactly what “Ego” is — an ode to distraction and an anthem for feeling invincible, even if only for a moment.

With this release, JOYCE has given us a hypnotic, otherworldly masterpiece. Let yourself be seduced by the spell.
