Joji is easing us into the new year with Piss In The Wind, his fourth studio album landing February 6 on Palace Creek, and Love Me Better hits like that quiet ache of wanting more from someone who’s already giving everything they’ve got.
Tucked in as the sixth track, this one’s a slow-burn slice of alternative R&B, running about three minutes with Joji’s signature hazy production—think muffled drums, swirling synths, and those breathy vocals that pull you under like warm fog. It’s got that intimate, late-night confessional feel, blending bedroom pop introspection with subtle electronic pulses that build just enough tension to mirror the push-pull of flawed affection.
Lyrically, it digs into the frustration of mismatched love, where you’re chasing a deeper connection but settling for echoes of what could be. Lines tease out vulnerability without overdoing it, all wrapped in Joji’s knack for turning personal mess into something universally relatable, like a voice memo you stumble on at 2 a.m.
The album sprawls across 21 tracks, a moody tapestry of longing and fleeting highs that feels like Joji’s most unguarded yet. It kicks off with the glitchy “PIXELATED KISSES” (already out since October), slides through heartbreakers like “If It Only Gets Better” and “Past Won’t Leave My Bed” (both singles with videos dropping last fall), and pulls in heavy hitters for texture—Giveon on the soulful “Piece of You,” 4batz adding grit to “Fade to Black,” Yeat flipping the energy on “Rose Colored,” and Don Toliver closing strong with “Fragments.” The rest unfurls with titles like “Cigarette,” “Hotel California,” and “Dior” that hint at smoky regrets and borrowed glamour, all tied to themes of chasing illusions in a world that slips away too fast. It’s got that nomadic, wind-swept vibe in the name, but really, it’s Joji mapping the quiet storms inside.
Teasers have been dripping out since summer—Instagram stories with cryptic clips, a full tracklist reveal just yesterday that’s got fans dissecting collabs like it’s a puzzle.
Two years after Smithereens wrapped up that trilogy of ache, Joji’s stepping out looser, leaning into features that stretch his sound without losing the core—less solo brooding, more shared shadows. It’s like he’s grown comfortable in the discomfort, turning those viral Pink Guy roots into a lane that’s all his own, raw and resonant.
