      I'm inclined to agree. I felt the only really stand out track on ballads was slow dancing in the dark.
      So when that fucking instrumental hit I knew he made the right choice. This track is wew lawd it's just fire as fuck.
      The vocals don't even sound like him but in a very good way.
      Franku was too good for RUclips.
      This track is too good for us.

      I knew there had to be something about space as well after Sanctuary and the post-music scene in Run, and tbh I thought the whole album would follow it but nah. It's just the music videos.
      I think the common theme is him having to choose between fame and love, which he explores in Tick Tock, Run, Gimme Love, Mr. Hollywood, Afterthought, Normal People, Like You Do and Pretty Boy to varying degrees (Mr. Hollywood, Tick Tock and Like You Do being the obvious ones)

So what it's still a very boring vocal performance he doesn't use any range it's all very close together notes and the instrumental is so boring and formulaic and there's no interesting lyrics it's so low effort it hurts how hard he's trying to go mainstream like he can get there other ways he doesn't have to make music to please a greedy lable he can do what he wants idk I'm probs being a retard but all well fuck this song

    As soon as I heard the guitar in the song, I was like “Damn, alright. I see you with the guitar.” Then the vocals kicked in and I’m like “Okay, typical Joji sad boi vocals, but with a little more conviction. Not bad.” THEN THE CHORUS KICKED IN BRO and I was like “DAMN OKAY.” The “Run” parts especially are really good. BUT THEN THAT GUITAR SOLO. I knew he had a guitar solo on his last album (can’t remember the song at the moment), but this guitar solo cuts in the mix and adds to the song, whereas the solo in the aforementioned song was just kind of there as a nice addition but didn’t really do much.
    I liked Sanctuary a lot when it came out, but this is just on another level.

    "Slow Dancing in the Dark" I found a bit pedestrian by today's highly engineered pop standard, there's a lot out there to compete with when you're playing with that sound. I really thought "Run" was a good step towards forming a more solid muscial identity for Joji. I'm rooting for him, I think he's gonna come out on top eventually, I enjoyed the track and I'm glad you liked it as well.

    Personally, I've never been that much into Joji's music- you know, tastewise- but I found myself genuinely enjoying this track over here. Very dramatic, super relatable and hard hitting lyrics and the gloomy atmosphere that the song sort of puts you through is something that really drove my interest as the track progresses. It's a HEEEELLL of a mood maker though, but that's not necessarily a bad thing in my standards.

    If we never had Filthy Frank we potentially never would have had Joji get to where he is. There’s a million and one people trying to be the next big thing these days and I wholeheartedly think his massive fan base from his earlier days gave him a platform to have his talents as a singer noticed. To be honest, up until recently his singing didn’t sound that great - the beats to his Pink Guy music and Chloe Burbank stuff were awesome though. As much as he tries to distance himself from his old life, he should embrace it. He did something unique, something people loved and something he loved doing for a time too. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. The fact that his TVFilthyFrank channel has grown by about 200K subs in the past 4 months says something about the influence this guy has considering he hasn’t uploaded a video on that channel in more than 2 years. I love his old stuff, I love his music and wish there was some way for him to be able to do both. Its a shame that his comedy took a toll on his health and some of his fan base were shit. Either way I support him and am happy for him to be making good money doing something he loves.
