Although the song seems like a superficial party track on its surface, after multiple listens it reveals itself to have a sort of warm and relatable self-loathing. The track\u0092s muted samples along with its sultry drum machine hits and watery piano make for something special, sure to hold Joji fans over for what\u0092s to come down the line from the 88rising artist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span lang=\"EN\"><em>Yeah Right<\/em> is accompanied by a simple, yet smart lo-fi music video that shows Joji going through a series of mixed emotions as he almost reluctantly recounts the lyrics to his own song. Self-directed by Joji, the video perfectly captures the track\u0092s underlying loneliness and you can check it out via Youtube below<\/span><span lang=\"EN\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tG7wLK4aAOE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\" style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><span lang=\"EN\">A master of multiple mediums, Joji is the Osaka, Japan-born singer and producer capturing a following from every corner of the Internet. The multi-talented visionary defies convention &#8212; 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&amp;B. Featured everywhere from <i>Billboard<\/i> to <i>VICE News (HBO)<\/i> to <i>Hypebeast<\/i> and beyond, Joji is one of the most interesting and promising new artists in the digital age. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span lang=\"EN\">Joji&#8217;s highly anticipated debut EP project &#8216;In Tongues&#8217; was met with widespread acclaim, with lead single <em>Will He<\/em> landing the #1 spot on Spotify&#8217;s Global Viral 50 charts and iTunes R&amp;B singles chart. <i>In Tongues<\/i> was a triumphant debut of &#8220;dark, beautiful music held together by a subtle but strong sense of humanity.&#8221; (Pigeons &amp; Planes) The EP debuted at #2 on the iTunes R&amp;B albums chart and landed the #56 spot on the Billboard 200. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span lang=\"EN\">Earlier this year, &#8216;In Tongues&#8217; received the remix treatment from tastemaking producers Lunice, Ryan Hemsworth, Lapalux, &amp; many more in a Deluxe edition of the EP. To date, the &#8216;In Tongues&#8217; and &#8216;In Tongues Deluxe&#8217;\u00a0has been streamed over 95 million times on Spotify. Each song off <i>In Tongues <\/i>was also accompanied by beautiful and groundbreaking visuals, including music videos for <em>Will He<\/em>, <em>Demons<\/em>, and <em>Window<\/em> &#8212; totaling over 45 million views on YouTube. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span lang=\"EN\">New single <em>Yeah Right<\/em> sees Joji confidently evolving on the signature sound he crafted on &#8216;In Tongues&#8217;. The single is an anthemic yet dark and brooding party ballad that only Joji can create, and gives just a taste of what&#8217;s to come on his full-length debut LP, due for later this year.<\/span><span lang=\"EN\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span lang=\"EN\">Joji is signed to 88rising &#8211; the team behind Internet-breaking sensations Rich Brian, Keith Ape, and Higher Brothers. 88rising is the pioneering media platform representing the most forward-thinking artists and creators from Asia.
