Since 2017, the melancholy vocals of Japanese artist Joji are ones we’ve grown adoringly familiar with, from ambient chart-topper “Slow Dancing in the Dark” to recent heartstring-pulling hit “Glimpse of Us”. Packed with candid storytelling and tones of impassioned longing, the dynamic singer’s releases are hailing praise from a growing audience—and fans are in luck. This week, Joji released new album Smithereens, a two-side EP featuring well-known favorites and never before heard songs, along with future tour dates.

Earlier this year, Smithereens’ front liner single “Glimpse of Us” reached #8 on Billboard’s Top 100 charts, amassing over 784 million global streams. A preview of Joji’s first full-length album since Nectar in 2020, its wistful ambiance epitomized Side A of the album, which is filled with other newly beloved tracks “Die for You” and “Feeling Like the End”.

Side B of the album, largely produced by none other than Joji himself, experiments with quicker beats in its lo-fi tracks. Of these final four album additions is August-release “Yukon (Interlude)”, another successful drop of Joji’s that brought with it psychedelic visuals directed by acclaimed duo BRTHR.

In light of his recent release and Smithereens’ already hot-selling tour, Joji has announced new headline dates at Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum in May.
