《SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK》单曲在发布后，入围了Spotify 全美前50热门单曲，排名第27名；在YouTube热门视频，Billboard热门100单曲和iTunes R&B榜单都获得第2位的优秀成绩，且在Spotify上已累计3千1百万播放量。 Joji用一首《CAN’T GET OVER YOU》紧随其后，此单曲的制作人阵容非常强大，由传奇制作人Clams Casino，格莱美得主Thundercat和为Travis Scott’s和DRAM制作过歌曲的Roget组成。 10月16日，Joji再续佳绩，发布了一首流行金曲感的新作品《TEST DRIVE》，由电子音乐人RL Grime制作，歌曲关于在一段感情中投入程度不同的难题。与歌曲共同公布还有由James Defina导演的MV，在MV中Joji独自一人置身沙漠，被亲密关系的“枷锁”束缚。 Joji即将于10月26号发行的个人首张专辑《BALLADS 1》，是一张以“改变”为主题的歌曲辑。 每首歌都是记录为改变所做的抗争和努力：离开不良的环境，奋力抵制诱惑，这些过程中的徘徊反复和挣扎。Joji从周遭的人、事和他虚构的人物中提炼出了这张专辑的不同切入点。《BALLADS 1》也反映着Joji从2017年11月首张EP《 In Tongues》发行以来音乐历程的演变。在专辑录制过程中，Joji解锁了一种充满野心抱负的声音和风格。除了创作，演唱，导演MV，Joji还亲自操刀了专辑中大部分歌曲的制作，在专辑制作人名单里也不乏大名鼎鼎，如Shlohmo，Clams Casino，RL Grime，Patrick Wimberly和Jam City的身影。在专辑里Joji还和Trippie Redd“再续前缘”，带来万众期待的新合作歌曲《R.I.P.》，这是两位音乐人继在年初歌曲《18》之后的再次合作。 After releasing “SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK” and having the song go to #27 on Spotify’s US Top 50, #2 on YouTube Trending, #2 on Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100, #2 on iTunes R&B as well as racking up 31 million Spotify streams in a little over a month, Joji followed that up a few weeks later with “CAN’T GET OVER YOU,” produced in tandem by legendary beat maker Clams Casino, Grammy-winning producer/bassist Thundercat and Roget (of Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode” and DRAM’s “Broccoli” fame). Today, Joji shares "TEST DRIVE," a song about the complexity of commitment. “TEST DRIVE” is a pop hit in the making and features production by RL Grime. The track is being released together with a James Defina-directed (Post Malone, Rich Brian) music video that shows Joji alone in the desert locked in the proverbial chains of a relationship. BALLADS 1，Joji’s debut album, due out October 26th via 88rising. It is a collection of ballads and songs dedicated to the theme of change. Each song deals with the struggle of change — leaving toxic environments, grappling with temptations, or refusing to change. The album is told from multiple perspectives, based on both people in Joji’s life and imagined. BALLADS 1 also reflects Joji's evolution as an artist since the release of his debut EP In Tongues in November 2017. Through the recording process, Joji has unlocked an ambitious new sound and style that’s uniquely his own. The album is predominantly self- produced, yet features notable collaborations with producers Shlohmo, Clams Casino, RL Grime, Patrick Wimberly, and Jam City. BALLADS 1 also sees Joji and Trippie Redd follow up on their "18" collaboration from earlier this year with a highly anticipated new song called "R.I.P."
