“I thought I’d vocalize my troubles, but nobody will listen..” Joji sings with deep emotion as he stands on a crimson red embellishment. Wearing a relaxed grey hoodie and sweatpants to match the dark grey setting, the New York-based musician showcases “ATTENTION”, a mercurial & vibrational track from his latest studio album titled BALLADS1. Simple yet saddened piano chords are met with a knocking bass as a lovesick and unsettled Joji expresses his underlying discomfort throughout his raw lyrics. “I don’t smile for the cameras, only smile for you..” he sings apprehensively, yet totally comfortable in wearing his heart on his sleeve. With “ATTENTION” being the very first track on the BALLADS1 project, A COLORS SHOW knew that it was only fitting for Joji to gift us with the opportunity to gain firsthand insight into his assertions — this show definitely is one of many major highlights of his performances.
