RELEASED FEBRUARY 7, 2020

“ALTER EGO unites Royce’s musical tastes in one masterpiece that allows him to be a bachata/tropical singer and also showcase the R&B and urban sound he grew up listening to in New York.” Billboard

“The bilingual star further plays up his versatility throughout Alter Ego, which is split into Side A and Side B, like an old-school mixtape. Whereas the ‘Génesis’ side pays respects to his beginnings as a tropical star, the ‘Enigma’ side shows the 30-year-old singer flirting with fresh música urbana and Latin pop sounds.” Rolling Stone

“In a fickle music industry where artists come and go, Prince Royce has kept up with the times while staying true to his roots. As tastes in music change, he’s steadfast in representing the genre of his Dominican heritage, bachata, and adventures into new sounds he’s come across in the past decade.” Grammy.com
