Strange Home Lyrics – Joji | from “Piss In The Wind”

Joji‘s dipping back into that hazy glow with Piss In The Wind, his fourth full-length out February 6 on Palace Creek, and Strange Home hits like a late-night confession you didn’t know you needed—familiar walls feeling foreign, pulling at the threads of where you belong.

Tucked in as the 20th track at a breezy 2:50, Strange Home wraps Joji’s signature alt-R&B haze around a slow-burn groove, all muffled synths and sparse percussion that lets the vulnerability simmer. It’s got that lo-fi intimacy he does so well, with echoes of bedroom confessions over subtle electronic pulses—think Nectar-era melancholy but stripped back, like staring at your reflection in a rain-streaked window. Thematically, it digs into the unease of fractured domesticity, those quiet moments where home turns strange, laced with longing and the ache of unspoken drifts. No big features here; it’s Joji solo, his voice threading through the fog like a half-remembered dream, evolving his sound toward something even more fragmented and real.

This 21-track sprawl marks Joji’s first album since 2022’s Smithereens, clocking in under 42 minutes with those ultra-short cuts that mirror life’s fleeting glitches. The concept leans into futile chases and fleeting connections—pissing in the wind, as the title nails it—blending raw introspection with bursts of energy across genres. It kicks off with the glitchy “PIXELATED KISSES” (already out since October), rolls through heartbreakers like “Cigarette” and “LOVE YOU LESS,” and pulls in heavy hitters: Giveon on the soulful “Piece of You,” 4batz for the moody “Fade to Black,” Yeat’s edge on “Rose Colored,” and Don Toliver closing strong on “Fragments.” Singles like “If It Only Gets Better” and “Past Won’t Leave My Bed” (with its video drop last month) have been teasing the vibe on Joji’s Insta and site, building that slow hype.

Three years after Smithereens, Joji’s in this reflective stride, trading some of the viral pop sheen for deeper cuts that feel like therapy sessions set to beats. The guy’s gone from Filthy Frank chaos to this quiet storm of emotion, and Piss In The Wind feels like him owning that full arc—more collaborators, weirder structures, but still that gut-punch honesty that keeps you coming back.
