After transitioning from viral internet personality to serious artist with his 2017 EP In Tongues, 88rising singer Joji (real name George Miller) looks to build on his success with the release of his debut album Ballads 1. The 12-track project features Trippie Redd as well as production from Clams Casino, Shlohmo, D33J, RL Grime, and Joji himself. The project comes in the wake of multiple singles, including “SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK,” “TEST DRIVE,” and “CAN’T GET OVER YOU.”
“It was not only a transition of career, but in my life too,” he told Billboard last year about the directional shift in his career. “Now I feel as if it was a rebirth, and I get to start fresh, and I get to leave this bad stuff behind.”
