Joji於10月26號發行的個人首張專輯《BALLADS 1》，是一張以“改變”為主題的歌曲輯。 每首歌都是記錄為改變所做的抗爭和努力：離開不良的環境，奮力抵制誘惑，這些過程中的徘徊反覆和掙扎。Joji從周遭的人、事和他虛構的人物中提煉出了這張專輯的不同切入點。《BALLADS 1》也反映着Joji從2017年11月首張EP《 In Tongues》發行以來音樂歷程的演變。在專輯錄制過程中，Joji解鎖了一種充滿野心抱負的聲音和風格。除了創作，演唱，導演MV，Joji還親自操刀了專輯中大部分歌曲的製作，在專輯製作人名單裏也不乏大名鼎鼎，如Shlohmo，Clams Casino，RL Grime，Patrick Wimberly和Jam City的身影。在專輯裏Joji還和Trippie Redd“再續前緣”，帶來萬眾期待的新合作歌曲《R.I.P.》，這是兩位音樂人繼在年初歌曲《18》之後的再次合作。
出生於日本大阪的Joji除了被人知曉的音樂人和製作人身份，他還是一個多媒體大師，在網絡吸引了來自各地的追隨者，Joji的音樂創作風格標新立異：將緩慢的節奏，憂鬱的情緒，動情的嗓音覆蓋在簡單粗糲的結構之上，再混入trap、folk、 electronic、和R&B元素。佔據着Nylon、Billboard、VICE News、Hypebeast在內的多家專題報道的版面的他，無疑是當下數字音樂時代最令人關注的，有前景的藝術家之一。
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."
A master of multiple mediums, Joji is the Osaka, Japan-born singer and producer capturing a following from every corner of the Internet. The multi-talented visionary defies convention – his songs are characterized by down tempo, melancholic themes and soulful vocals, layered over lush grimy textures, blending elements of trap, folk, electronic, and R&B. Featured everywhere from Nylon t o to VICE News (HBO) to Hypebeast and beyond, Joji is one of the most interesting and promising new artists in the digital age.
