在廣受好評的首張專輯《BALLADS 1》獲得美國RIAA黃金認證之後,Joji帶著他備受期待的第二張正式錄音室專輯主打單曲“Run”回歸。 這支單曲是Joji作為一名音樂人的發展歷程的見證。“Run”以其令人難忘的搖滾曲風,展現了Joji非凡的音域,同時保留了他難以複製的哀婉音色。 <br />在這支單曲中,Joji動人的演唱與漸強的吉他演奏配合呼應將旋律推向高潮,哀歎愛情的逝去。Run的MV也將在單曲發行的當日,北京時間晚上11點釋出,本次單曲的MV由導演Aisultan Seitov (作品包括21 Savage的A Lot(ft. J. Cole)和Offset的 Red Room) 執導,MV通過描繪陷入苦戀的Joji試圖從一輛名流環繞如迷宮般的豪華轎車中脫逃,來展現難以逃脫令人窒息的“出名”所帶來的束縛。<br /><br />出生於日本大阪的Joji除了被人熟知的音樂人和製作人身份,他還是一個多媒體大師,在互聯網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等元素。佔據了美聯社新聞、Billboard、GQ、Rolling Stone、VICE News在內的多家權威專題報導版面的他,還被TIME時代雜誌列入2018年最佳歌曲榜,Joji無疑是當下數位音樂時代最令人關注的,有前景的新興藝術家之一。<br /><br />過去的一年對Joji來說是極為重要的一年,Joji憑藉"SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK”獲得了他的首個RIAA白金唱片認證,他的專輯《BALLADS 1》以及其中出色的單曲“YEAH RIGHT”和“CAN'T GET OVER YOU”也分別斬獲了RIAA黃金唱片認證。<br />《BALLADS 1》中的主打單曲“SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK”到目前仍在全球範圍內備受矚目。這支單曲成為了去年TikTok(海外版抖音)上大熱的“微波爐挑戰”的背景音樂,由此誕生的短視頻病毒式傳播,累積獲得了超過8億的播放量。這一挑戰也將“SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK”迅速帶入Billboard 熱單100榜單,並在榜長達13周的時間,這首歌在發行一年後到達了榜單最高69位的好成績。<br /><br />在過去的一年中,Joji還在北美13個城市舉辦了座無虛席的巡迴演唱會,並參與了多個在世界範圍備受矚目的音樂節演出,包括英國的Leeds音樂節和芝加哥的Lollapalooza音樂節等。在舞臺之外,Joji以執行製作人的身份製作了與多位元世界級知名音樂人例如Swae Lee,Major Lazer,王嘉爾等人的合作熱門單曲。他最近發行的個人單曲“Sanctuary“,於今年6月在Billboard熱單100榜單上登上了第80位,迄今在全球累積了超過2.3億的試聽流。而這些,僅僅只是屬於Joji的瘋狂時代的開端。<br /><br />In the wake of his critically acclaimed, RIAA-certified Gold debut album BALLADS 1, Joji returns with “Run”—the lead single off his highly-anticipated, second full-length studio album. A testament to Joji’s evolution as an artist, the song a haunting rock power ballad that showcases Joji’s extraordinary range, while preserving his inimitable, elegiac sound. Lamenting over a deteriorating relationship, “Run” builds towards its climactic end, crescendoing in a cathartic guitar solo against Joji’s soul-stirring vocals. Releasing day and date with the single at 10am EST, the music video for “Run” is directed by Aisultan Seitov (credits include: 21 Savage’s “a lot (feat. J. Cole)" & Offset’s “Red Room”). The video explores the inextricable claustrophobia of fame—as depicted by a lovesick Joji attempting to free himself from a labyrinthian stretch limousine, surrounded by the opulent trappings of celebrity.<br /><br />A master of multiple mediums, Joji is a 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 rock, trap, electronic, and R&B. Featured everywhere from AP and TIME Magazine's Best Songs of 2018 lists, to Billboard, GQ, Rolling Stone, VICE News (HBO) and beyond; Joji is one of the most interesting and promising new artists in the digital age.<br /><br />This past year has been a momentous one for Joji as he scored his first Platinum record with “SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK” and Gold-certifications for his album BALLADS 1 and its standout singles “YEAH RIGHT” and “CAN’T GET OVER YOU”. “SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK”, the lead single from BALLADS 1, remains a global sensation. The song became the soundtrack of this past year’s “Microwave Challenge”, a viral TikTok phenomenon that has been viewed over 800M+ times. The challenge catapulted “SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK” into the Billboard Hot 100, where it spent 13 weeks, peaking at #69 on the chart over a year after the song’s release. <br /><br />This past year also saw Joji headlining a sold-out, 13-city North America tour and performing at some of the most covetable festivals across the world, including Leeds festival in the UK and Lollapalooza in Chicago. Off the stage, Joji executive produced collaborations with global superstars Swae Lee, Major Lazer, Jackson Wang, and more. His most recent solo release “Sanctuary” debuted at #80 on the Billboard Hot 100 this past June, amassing over 230M+ streams to date worldwide and serving as a “taste before the madness” of what's to come from Joji. 看更多
