Wallice has announced her debut album 'The Jester'.

Set for release on 15th November via Dirty Hit, the LA-based artist has also shared two new singles: 'Heaven Has To Happen' and 'The Opener'.

'Heaven Has To Happen' explores the theme of imposter syndrome. Wallice explains, "I started this right after my very first tour opening for Still Woozy in 2022. As an artist, I constantly have imposter syndrome and think that maybe I don't belong in the scene. This song is a great follow up to 'The Opener' in that I question my career but also have such determination that the work will pay off."

'The Opener', meanwhile, was inspired by her experience supporting The 1975 on tour. She reflects, "I went on a month-long tour opening for The 1975, which was a dream come true. It was an amazing experience – but was also interesting to think about the job of an opener. Is it to warm up the crowd or just fill the empty space? Many people who were in the front of the crowd had been camping outside for hours in hopes to get barricade and be closer to The 1975, so they weren't too enthused with my performance, someone they had never heard of."

She adds, "The experience kind of made me feel like I hadn't just given it my all on the stage, like I was another faceless body in a big arena. 'The Opener' is about the accomplishments and failures in my career so far, and how some things are both at the same time."
