Joji, the acclaimed R&B and alternative artist, will release his fourth full-length album, Piss in the Wind, on February 6. This marks a highly anticipated return for the musician, who has been quiet in the alternative music scene since 2022.
Alongside the album announcement, Joji released a short track titled “If it Only Gets Better,” lasting only one minute and eight seconds. The song embraces Joji’s signature melancholic ballad style, featuring a nylon-string classical guitar drenched in reverb and complemented by electronic percussion in an unusual time signature that later steadies.
"If it only gets better from here
If it only gets better from here,
Then what's there to change about it?
Shit, I just won't think about it."
The track is enriched by Joji’s delicate vocal harmonies, creating a soothing, atmospheric sound that leaves listeners wanting more. This style echoes his earlier work and signals a return to his melancholic roots.
Joji’s upcoming album and new track highlight his return to introspective, melancholic music with delicate instrumentation and haunting vocals.
