在刚过去的2018年，Joji获得了音乐上的重大突破：凭借热门单曲“SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK”首次入围Billboard Hot 100排行榜，如今这首单曲已经获得RIAA(美国唱片业协会)的黄金唱片认证；倚靠首张个人专辑“BALLADS 1”登顶Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop 专辑榜单，在专辑上线一周内累积超过千万试听量。

今天，Joji带来了全新单曲“Sanctuary”及MV，一首充满强烈的情感表达欲却又以柔情倾述的方式婉婉道来的抒情作品。歌曲有鲜明的，像Phil Collins或是Journey乐队的80年代流行音乐符号，Joji在复古的简单节拍中浸入未来感的声音场景，让你们浅尝即可陷入他设计的疯狂幻想中。

In the wake of his debut album BALLADS 1, Joji returns with “Sanctuary” — an enormous power ballad teeming with emotion and sentiment. While the single calls upon sensibilities of 80s icons like Phil Collins and Journey, Joji’s latest is drenched in minimalistic beats and futuristic soundscapes, acting as somewhat of a “taste before the madness”.

This past year proved to be a breakthrough year for Joji as he scored his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with his now RIAA-certified Gold “SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK”, charted at No.1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart with his debut LP BALLADS 1, and accrued over 10 million streams in the first tracking week.

A master of multiple mediums, Joji is an Osaka, Japan-born singer and producer capturing a following from every corner of the Internet. The multi-talented visionary defies convention -- his songs are characterized by down tempo, melancholic themes and soulful vocals, layered over lush grimy textures, blending elements of trap, folk, electronic, and R&B. Featured everywhere from AP and TIME Magazine's Best Songs of 2018 lists, to Billboard, GQ, Rolling Stone, VICE News (HBO) and beyond; Joji is one of the most interesting and promising new artists in the digital age.
