Nectar joji12/30/2023 The production is someone minimal but Joji’s falsetto vocals are euphoric and emotive and keep the song afloat nicely. “Sanctuary” finds Joji taking listeners on an interstellar journey of love and describing his desired lover as the titular sanctuary. Joji’s vocals are absolute show-stealers on both of these songs, they’re luscious, bold and soaring. The highlights of the album continue with “Gimmie Love” and “Run”, both are stellar tracks with excellent production. “Daylight” produced by Diplo is a warm, groovy track where Joji mourns the end of a relationship. “Tick Tock” made for a awkward moment in the album sonically, mainly due to how much it swayed from the ostentatious and glossy presentation of the record. The overall somber aesthetic of the song and the grandiose piano outro sets the tone of the album pretty well. The opener “Ew” details Joji’s longingness for a lover that can be with him forever. With Nectar, Joji feels like someone who has come into his own artistically, granted the album still suffered from some of its inconsistencies in the track-list but the more refined production and the lush vocal performances this album has in spades say more than enough about Joji’s evolution as an artist. His debut album “Ballads 1” had some pretty good highlights like the glitzy, forlorn “Slow Dancing in the Dark” or the moody “Yeah Right” and a handful of others although Joji did come of as an artist who was still trying to find his identity back then. Joji has always shown a good amount of potential in his music since his departure from YouTube. Nectar is Joji’s second studio album and was released on September 25, 2020. Joji has always had a knack for making music but the virality of his YouTube channel was so insane that Joji or Filthy Frank at that time, became a legend in the meme culture and Joji remained a content creator for longer than he had initially thought he would. Joji is a Japanese Singer-Songwriter who was formerly known for his YouTube channel under the alias “Filthy Frank”. Retrieved 11 October 2021.Nectar may be beset by the inconsistencies in its track-list but Joji’s improved vocals and a strong first act make for a worthy listen.
