Smithereens, Jojiβs new album, was released on 4 November 2022 via 88rising. The singerβs distinctive style of melancholy ballads continues to develop on this new album, the follow-up to 2020βs Nectar.
The singerβs discography is replete with introspective ballads about heartbreak (βDie For Youβ is a prime example). While crooning over sparse piano chords and a cymbal crash, Joji tells her that he would die for her even though she has moved on and found happiness without him.
His chart-topping single βGlimpse of Usβ is included on the album. The gloomy βBefore The Day Is Overβ and the upbeat βNIGHT RIDERβ are two other highlights; the latter features some of Jojiβs more adventurous production work.
Smithereens is split in half, with side A featuring the more developed introspective balladry of Joji and side B featuring his forays into lo-fi, DIY production and sounds.
