MARKS FIRST NEW MUSIC SINCE SMITHEREENS (2022) WHICH FEATURED RIAA 2X PLATINUM, #1 SPOTIFY GLOBAL 50 HIT “GLIMPSE OF US”
“From commandeering the wave of lo-fi tinted trap and hip hop in the late 2010s to cementing himself as an alt pop heavy hitter, Joji consistently reinvents himself and truly proves himself as one of the most interesting artists in the alternative, ‘anti’ pop sphere.”

Singer, songwriter, and producer Joji makes his long-awaited comeback with the release of his latest single, “PIXELATED KISSES,” marking his first new music since 2022’s SMITHEREENS—the album that delivered the RIAA 2x Platinum and global chart-topping hit “Glimpse of Us.”
Entirely written, produced, and recorded by Joji himself, “PIXELATED KISSES” is a mesmerizing return to form. It strips down to the essentials — moody trap beats, pared-down vocals, and an unforgettable hook — creating a sonic landscape that’s both intimate and haunting. The track exemplifies Joji’s mastery of minimalist emotion, where simplicity becomes the most powerful form of expression.
Since his breakthrough in 2017, Joji has built an impressive discography that bridges introspection and innovation. His critically acclaimed albums — BALLADS 1 (2018), featuring the 5x Platinum hit “SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK”; Nectar (2020); and SMITHEREENS (2022) — have solidified his place as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music.
Beyond the studio, Joji has captivated global audiences with electrifying performances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Reading & Leeds. His 2023 OBLIVION and PANDEMONIUM arena tours spanned 41 shows worldwide, selling out venues such as Madison Square Garden, Kia Forum, Crypto.com Arena, and London’s Gunnersbury Park — a testament to his unmatched artistry and global influence.
With “PIXELATED KISSES,” Joji once again proves that his music transcends genre and expectation — a haunting reminder that even in simplicity, emotion can feel infinite.
