Биография

Joji is one of the most enthralling artists of the digital age. Following on the heels of RIAA platinum-certified single “Glimpse of Us,” his new album SMITHEREENS expands on the melancholic, yet powerful emotions of the breakout hit. Comprising two parts, SIDE A of the album heralds a mature sonic direction for Joji through wistful and contemplative ballads accompanied by lush production that blooms within each song. SIDE B, produced mainly by Joji himself, digs deeper into the lo-fi and off-kilter sounds that hark back to his experimental beginnings as an artist. Of the album, Billboard raved, “Anyone familiar with Joji’s dulcet tones and emotionally revealing lyricism could have predicted that he’d become a solo star.” AllMusic also said of the album, which clocks in at just under 25 minutes, “is the perfect length to wallow in sadness before wiping off the tears and carrying on. It's not the happiest of experiences, but it is his most mature and relatable statement to date.” SMITHEREENS follows his album Nectar, executive produced and arranged by Joji, which bowed out at #3 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
