In 2022, following on the heels of the 2X Platinum single “Glimpse of Us”, Joji released his latest album SMITHEREENS, which expands on the powerful emotions of the breakout hit. Mine also got in today in a plastic bag with bubble wrap, the sleeve (especially the back for whatever reason) is bent and creased beyond belief, the record also came warped, though luckily not too bad and is still playable just fine.

An Album that has heavy bass and well, when it comes to the album (If you're here I guess you like it, right? Starting with the first track "Attention", I have mid-fi speakers and the bass on this track was too heavy.In June 2023, following sold-out shows at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City and The Kia Forum in Los Angeles, Joji announced the PANDEMONIUM North American Tour which hits arenas this Fall. This year marks the 5th anniversary of his iconic debut album BALLADS 1, his platinum-certified seminal full-length project which contains some of the biggest hits in his career – including multi-platinum hits “SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK” and “YEAH RIGHT”. BALLADS 1 laid the bedrock for what’s to come – melancholic themes and soulful vocals, layered over lush yet grimy lo-fi textures.

It features the singles 'Sanctuary', 'Run', 'Gimme Love' and 'Daylight' with Diplo, as well as collaborations with Benee, Lil Yachty, Omar Apollo, Yves Tumor and Rei Brown. On 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.He has a total vision for his work, not just in the writ- ing and producing of his music, but artwork, videos, merch, and live performances as well.

The album is mostly self-produced, with notable collaborations from producers Shlohmo, Clams Casino, Thundercat, RL Grime, Patrick Wimberly, and Jam City. BALLADS 1 also represents Joji’s evolution as an artist since the release of his debut EP In Tongues in November 2017. I really love this album on vinyl, wasn’t so sure digital but for some reason it hits different on physical. Japan-born singer and producer Joji is a multi-talented visionary, with a cult following from every corner of the inter- net. it's in that kind of lazy black jewel case with no tray artwork at all, and there's no tracklist anywhere on the pressing.I mainly purchased this record because 1) I was a Filthy Frank fan, 2) the Clams Casino and Shlohmo-produced tracks, and 3) SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK DUUUHHHHH!
