BALLADS 1

Joji

Submerged piano, distorted bass, and breathy falsetto. A definitive document of internet-era heartbreak and late-night vulnerability.

A heavy, submerged sadness that feels both deeply intimate and digitally distant.

Moments Worth Listening For
The cinematic synth swell and vocal peak during the chorus of SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK
The jarring, distorted bass entry on ATTENTION that sets a gritty emotional tone
The way the acoustic guitar and ukulele-style plucking contrasts with the trap beat on CAN'T GET OVER YOU
