Joji Announces New Album and Releases Second Single
Joji, the acclaimed singer, songwriter, and producer known for transitioning from YouTube to music, is returning with fresh material. His fourth studio album, Piss in the Wind, is scheduled for release on February 6, 2026, through Palace Creek.
The album blends Joji’s earlier melancholic style with gritty, atmospheric production, reflecting both his musical past and evolution.
First Single: "PIXELATED KISSES"
Earlier this November, Joji surprised fans by releasing the first single from the album, “PIXELATED KISSES.” The track, his first new music since 2022’s SMITHEREENS, quickly amassed nearly 50 million global streams and entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Second Single: "It It Only Gets Better"
On November 5th, Joji shared another song, “It It Only Gets Better.” This single highlights his lo-fi roots by combining acoustic guitar, syncopated bass, and soaring harmonies. The James Mao-directed video playfully references his 2018 breakthrough track “YEAH RIGHT” from the album BALLADS 1, balancing energetic club visuals with introspective lyrics.
