Joji, the resurging R&B and alternative megastar, is preparing to release his fourth full-length album, Piss in the Wind, on February 6. This announcement brings fresh excitement for fans eager to hear new music next year.
Alongside the album news, Joji unveiled a brief new song titled If it Only Gets Better. Despite its short length of just one minute and eight seconds, the track revisits his signature melancholic ballad style.
The song features a slowly plucked nylon-string classical guitar enveloped in reverb, creating a reflective mood. An electronic percussion with an unconventional time signature gradually stabilizes as the piece progresses. Joji's sweet vocal harmonies complete the intimate and moody atmosphere, leaving listeners wanting more.
After being largely absent from the alternative music scene since 2022, Joji returned with the gritty single Pixelated Kisses. This recent output hints at the directions he is exploring ahead of his album release.
"If it only gets better from here
If it only gets better from here,
Then what's there to change about it?
Shit, I just won't think about it,"
This brief lyric makes up most of the song, supported by the instrumental arrangement.
Joji's upcoming album promises a continuation of his deeply emotional and experimental sound, exemplified by the concise yet evocative new track "If it Only Gets Better."
