Japenese singer-songwriter Joji's 3rd Studio Album 'Smithereens' is out now! Its a really good listen and contains the previously released singles 'Glimpse Of Us' (Which went top 10 in the US and near top 10 in the UK), 'YUKON (INTERLUDE)' & 'Die For You'. I didn't really know where to put this thread but he suits here much more than before.

‘psychedelic pop-infused’? Pull the other one!

His last album was in R&B/hip hop, but I’d probably be tempted to have him in indie/alt now.

I see joji as Alt-Pop so he fits well in both
 Anyway, stunning record. 10/10. i don't think any album apart from this one this decade is a ten. Die For You and Glimpse Of Us are the singles of the year

'Glimpse Of Us' has a thread in R&B/hip-hop as well
 he doesn't really fit neatly into any of the genres tbh but he's historically more closely associated with that scene than pop/alternative (although the music this era is less so)Anyway, looking forward to hearing this album as 'Glimpse Of Us' is probably my favourite top 40 hit of the year so far and I really liked 'YUKON (INTERLUDE)' too - odd to release a song tagged as an interlude as a single but it's long and structured enough that it doesn't really sound like one anyway tbh. Interesting that he's stepped down to only having 9 songs this time, his last album felt a tad too long/bloated but now worried this one might have the opposite problem

The album debuts at #13 on the Uk album chart (sadly) but, Die For You becomes his 2nd top 40 single as it debuts at #39!!! Glimpse Of Us also sneaks back in at #34!
