Joji, the first Asian-born artist
to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart releases his
highly anticipated new single “Run”, available everywhere via 88rising,
distributed by 12Tone Music. Produced by Joji & Justin Parker (Rihanna,
Lana Del Rey, Ellie Goulding), the guitar-driven track is Joji’s first release
since his RIAA-certified Gold debut album BALLADS 1, which debuted at #3 on
Billboard’s Top 200, and spun off 1 Platinum (“SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK”) and 2
Gold-certified singles (“YEAH RIGHT”, “CAN’T GET OVER YOU”).

As Joji surpasses 3.5 billion
global streams and prepares for his Coachella debut in April, “Run” is a testament to his fearless artistic evolution, showcasing the restless creator’s
extraordinary range and setting the stage for a ground-breaking year, with more
new music to come.
The dramatic “Run” visual, shot
by Aisultan Seitov (21 Savage, Offset) from a treatment written in
collaboration with Joji himself drops the viewer into the surreal world of a
global superstar - by turns alluring and claustrophobic - as a lovesick Joji
runs through a labyrinthine stretch limo bathed in blue light, repelled by the
decadent trappings of fame.
A master of multiple mediums, the
Japan-born Joji is and one of the most enthralling artists of the digital age.
His songs are characterized by melancholic themes and soulful vocals, layered
over lush grimy textures, blending elements of rock, trap, electronic, and
R&B. In 2019, Joji sold-out his North America tour within minutes and
performed at some of the most coveted festivals across the world, including
Reading & Leeds in the UK and Lollapalooza in Chicago.
