His hit songs “Glimpse of Us” and “SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK” have become social media staples at this point, with both songs streamed well over a billion times each. After a musical hiatus spanning years, he finally made a powerful return last October, leading up to the release of his latest album, Piss in the Wind, out today. The dynamic, ever-changing album consists of 21 tracks that span atmospheric electronic sounds, moody lo-fi beats, indie-pop, R&B and so much more, putting Joji’s depth and versatility front and center.
