“I’ve always thought if I lived by the sea, I’d be a lighter, freer soul. Being a seashell would be the ultimate version of that - to be a physical part of the ocean” — Ivoris
July 24th, 2026 – Singer, songwriter, and producer Ivoris ponders life outside of human troubles in her new single “Seashell”. Fans can listen to the song here and watch the official video here.
This song is a sonic painting of sea sparkles, swaying waves and deep oceanic breaths. Ivoris’ signature vocals dance over a gentle bed of acoustic guitar and swaying percussion. This song was co-produced with her collaborator Simon Lam (Charli XCX, 2charm, Cup Sport). The lyrics gently invite the listener to the oceanic world of her upcoming debut album.
“Seashell started as a journal entry,” Ivoris shares. “I’d been pondering if we as humans can ever be freed from the struggle to reach our potential, or from the dread of time passing us by. I wrote this line - I long to try a seashell’s eyes, and that birthed the song”.
“Seashell” arrives ahead of Ivoris' long-awaited debut album, 'Pour My Heart Out', set for release on September 4. Exploring the romance of powerful emotions, the album marks the most radiant and personal chapter of Ivoris' artistic journey to date. Speaking about the project, Ivoris shares, “'Pour My Heart Out' feels just like me. It’s about having a really absorbent heart, one that is constantly overflowing with emotions”. This sentiment is beautifully reflected in the album artwork, which features Ivoris curled up inside an oyster shell cradling a pearl. Much like the songs themselves, the handcrafted oyster shell symbolizes the care, vulnerability, and emotion poured into every part of the project.

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.
