May 8th, 2026 — Philippines – Singer, songwriter, and producer Ivoris returns with a dreamy R&B-pop offering, “Telepathic Twin Flame”, out now on all streaming platforms. The single offers a glimpse into her upcoming debut album 'Pour My Heart Out', releasing this September. Fans can stream the song here.

An ode to friendship, “Telepathic Twin Flame” captures the passion and intensity of female bonds — from the sweetness of childhood connections to the chaotic joy of nights out, and the unspoken, lifelong pacts formed between kindred spirits. Through its lush, nostalgic soundscape, the track also challenges societal norms, questioning why platonic relationships are so often undervalued compared to romantic love.

Created alongside her friend and co-writer Jessie Hillel, the track was born from nights of hanging out, endless snacks and wild laughter. "We wanted to capture the chaos and silliness of girlhood, as well as the deep intensity of unconditional love," Ivoris shares. 

Inspired by a growing reflection on the emotional depth of female friendships, Ivoris crafted the song as a heartfelt tribute to the people who shape us in profound, enduring ways. Drawing influence from stories that centre on women’s relationships, she set out to create a piece that immortalises friendship as a powerful, all-encompassing form of love — one worthy of the same reverence often reserved for romance.

Sonically, "Telepathic Twin Flame" is reminiscent of Ivoris' first ever release 
"Honeysea", blending a nostalgic orchestral backdrop and subtle R&B influence. The track sits comfortably between pop and R&B, pairing warm, cinematic textures with smooth, groove-led production.

With its layered orchestration and fluid R&B elements, the single builds on Ivoris’ signature sound while showcasing her evolving artistry. “Telepathic Twin Flame” offers a tender yet vibrant celebration of connection, memory, and love in its many forms.

Looking ahead, 
'Pour My Heart Out', set for release in September, marks Ivoris’ most radiant and defining chapter yet—one that continues to expand her global reach while deepening her artistic identity. At its core, the album explores the romance of powerful emotions, capturing the beauty and intensity of feeling deeply.

About Ivoris

Singer/songwriter/producer Ivoris has crafted a dreamy pop/R&B soundscape defined by colourful melodies and vulnerable lyricism. Since her debut in 2018, her distinctly whimsical style has earned her a loyal global following, with growing momentum driven by international headline tours in China and official showcases at SXSW Austin and Sydney. As she enters 2026, Ivoris stands at a defining moment in her career, with rising global recognition, particularly across Asia. 

Ivoris’ journey began early as she started writing short songs on the piano at just six years old. By 13, after picking up her first guitar, she became deeply immersed in songwriting, spending hours in her bedroom filling journals with songs about crushes, imagined heartbreak, and nature. These early expressions laid the foundation for her signature introspective and emotive style.

Her breakthrough came with her debut EP 'My Messy Mind', led by the viral single 
“I Wish My Mind Would Shut Up”, which amassed over 350 million streams across Chinese platforms and established her as a rising voice in the Asian market. In 2023, she performed the track on the Chinese music reality programme 'Youth Project', further elevating her profile in China. This momentum translated into two headline tours across the country, performances at major festivals, support slots for international acts, and showcase appearances where she performed alongside prominent Asian-American artists.

Today, Ivoris commands a strong global digital presence, with over 222,000 monthly Spotify listeners, more than 37 million streams outside China, and over 350 million streams within China. Her audience spans key markets including the US, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, Canada, Australia, and South Korea. Across Chinese platforms, she has amassed over 500,000 followers, alongside a growing presence on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
