Joji recently made his television debut on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon with a flawless performance of his latest single, “Run.” Dressed in an all-black suit and standing against a contrasting lava backdrop, the 88rising mainstay was accompanied by a full band including three backup vocalists, providing him with the sonic support to showcase his improved ability as a performer. It’s been almost three years since the former YouTuber opted to make music full-time, and he exhibits consistent artistic growth with each release and performance.

“Run” is billed as the lead single of Joji’s forthcoming album, following up his 2018 debut studio record BALLADS 1. Although further details of the album are yet to be revealed, his first offering sounds like it’ll make for a promising project.
