@stfu and eat a cinnamon roll even if there is autotune used in this song its very minimal. You can easily hear autotune and its barely present in this song
joji is really growing into his own. his transiting from pink guy to ballads to this reminds me of tylers transition from bastard and goblin to flower boy. its a leap over the moon and it's landing smack dab on a star.
@Rachel Supercinski The music videos are, this might be a tease for an upcoming album telling the story from trying things new in a relationship(sanctuary) to seeing the person you used to love be with someone else while your all alone running from the darkness(Run). Joji has always been a storyteller with his music, an example being In Tongues a project done by JOJI that has the themes of being tied to something while being suffocated with each song having the sound of chains in the background and the muffled voice of someone trying to talk underwater or you yourself being underwater while another person is trying to communicate on the surface.
@@BlueHat1 Sanctuary is good for sure, one of his best, but compared to this I feel like it's way too clean production-wise, almost sterile. Still a great track!
First thought when I heard this was it sounded like a Kiss Land throwaway. I'm not too keen on it yet, Sanctuary was 10/10 tho, Run has it's moments which are amazing, but some parts seem dull
@@zombieapocolipse69 Eh but we're talking about Joji here, not The Weeknd. Yes there are similar elements between Run and earlier work by The Weeknd, but there isn't much stuff like this put out by artists today. Joji also sounds much more confident in his voice and it shows very strongly in this new song
Sanctuary was his previous song and was really good too. But his "older" music is mostly Lo-Fi sad boi music, I love it but I understand it's not for everyone.
I had the same reaction when I first listened to it.This was hit me like a truck when the guitar and his vocals harmonized. This song, slow dancing in the dark and sanctuary all hit me like that.
Still gotta be one of my favorite reactions in your 4+ years of doing these. When that raw natural emotion hits you, and you let it show, it makes the viewer feel it even more. This song has stood the test of time, and somehow got better over time
Its absolutely stunning, been listening on repeat for a few days now. It has this incredible emotional layer that just gets to your heart, and joji's acting is just sublime as always. And that guitaaaaaaarrrr lord ♡
Zelgaro agreed. I think it’s an underrated album for the different places he goes and his authenticity and does each pretty well even though it’s a bit random
This is my favorite reaction to this song, hands down. I'm Generation X and this song just took me right back to my teens. I already loved Joji, now I want to personally thank him for teleporting me back to my youth
I really connect to music so much within my soul and I can tell that it connects with you the same way. Love your passion for music mate! Great reactions! Keep up the great work!
I was so shocked when I heard it because I forgot how beautiful his voice is, and I knew I fell in love with this song the second I heard it. One of those songs of 'love at first sound' ❤
I had that same reaction this morning when I pressed play. I had looped that first 30-40 seconds back so many times before I actually listened to the whole track. Absolute magic! Joji has many tracks I love but this was just a surprise! Oh and love your channel man. I recently subbed. Keep on grinding, the work your doing is tremendous.
I would love to see you react to some of his old videos. It's such a huge contrast from what he's doing now, you would never imagine he would be where he is now back when he was making those videos. It's inspiring honestly.
I stumbled across this track and haven’t stopped playing it. It draws you in from the offset, your reaction was much the same as mine and so you landed another subscriber. Good honest emotion and reaction.
I was listening, and getting such massive Floyd vibes, and I thought “you know what would make this perfect? A filthy guitar sol-“ 🎸WAAAAHHHHHHHHH🎸 Needless to say, I creamed my pants
Please react to ‘Wanted U’ by Joji, listen to it almost daily. Very much the same kind of vibe but a little more power in the voice. You’ll love it John
Grew up watching FilthyFrank and im so happy that i know some people who love his music yet dont know who filthyfrank is. Just goes to show how successful he became without just his fans from youtube
Thank you so much for reacting to this,I love Joji and seeing him live was amazing. Having someone like you appreciate the song makes me love it even more
Even my middle aged dad loves this song, and he's a rock music snob who's very hard to impress. He immediately looked up tabs for bass after hearing this.
You weren't kidding about the vibe. It definitely feels like there's some Pink Floyd/David Gilmour influence in there with somewhere. Absolutely fantastic! I just watched the love performance on Jimmy Fallon and he killed! Even got a standing ovation!
With how this video connects to sanctuary Im feeling like his next album is going to be almost like a space rock opera type of deal. Either way, this and sanctuary have me hyped as hell
I do have a feeling that rock music may have a come back in the 2020s especially with the reports of Kendrick's new, rock inspired, song a d the success of Mac's rock influenced album
I didn't know much about Joji before now but after hearing this I am ITCHING for more. This song really came out of nowhere and fucked me up bad. I don't know if there's a better feeling than that for me when it comes to discovering music
I love Joji songs since BALLADS 1. But here we see improvement on Joji's voice techniques. "Run" is already a classic (mostly because of the melody and this amazing guitar). Joji's voice warm the heart and this guitar penetrate our bones. Beauty.
Seriously. This is the first song I heard from him. Now I'm going through all his stuff. Even his old insane youtube videos, you can see the musical talent.
The song has those Redbone vibes. Part funk part rock with hip hop and rap influences... love it. To think of how far Joji has come, from the frank of the filth and pink guy to Directing and making his own music... its crazy.
His voice gotten better after quitting smoking. During his filthy frank days he was a heavy smoker. But now that he quit his voice literally blossomed back up and it worked out very well !
His vocals are getting better holy shit
:D
stfu and eat a cinnamon roll stfu and eat a cinnamon roll
:)
@stfu and eat a cinnamon roll even if there is autotune used in this song its very minimal. You can easily hear autotune and its barely present in this song
Vocal editing or not it’s still obvious when some actual progression is taking place and I must say the artistic growth is very clear.
i was really suprised by this one. i like this sound more than his lo fi type of stuff. can't wait for the album.
Treebeard Same here
This is kinda like lofi though, still amazing though!
joji is really growing into his own. his transiting from pink guy to ballads to this reminds me of tylers transition from bastard and goblin to flower boy. its a leap over the moon and it's landing smack dab on a star.
he is an incredible artist, you have seen his music in so many styles already
I was going to like this comment but you have 420 likes so I just let it be
Joji is an Assistant Director for The Weeknds Party Monster Video, Random Fact
Joji is also the creator of the Harlem Shake (kind of a well known random fact i know...)
yeah I remember when that came out and I saw all the comments about him. That was before he was putting out music seriously.
VHS camera operator, not assistant director bruv
Lorenzo That’s true, my bad 😅
random facts are always great to know to flex on ppl xD
I feel like Joji has all the tools to be one of the best R&B/Pop singers in the world, great track and great review as always
Tommy Luce yeah and he’s truly passionate about it and makes what he likes. Not what is a trending style
I agree completely!
joji and the weeknd will always be my favorite R&B singers
@@MELTEDBUHTTER joji Is a sold out but His music is good.
Marcelo a sold out? Hahaha what?
I'm really excited for his new project. It sounds like he's really coming into his own and I'm here for it
The improvement every single album is amazing
666 likes nice
@@cbrad_edits ?
@@cbrad_edits nice bait
I really liked both this track and Sanctuary. Can’t wait for whatever he may have in store
Artificial Gummies they are both connected
Sanctuary is such a good polished song I love it

will he is one of my favorites by him but it’s overlooked
@@j-cob59 will he is one of his biggest songs..
Who else is watching reactions just to see how everyone's enjoying and complimenting the song ?
Until now I revisit and rewatch reactions
literally what I'm doing right this moment
Lmaoo literally just thought this
YES ABSOLUTELY!!! greetings from Germany
I believe I was the only one jajajaia
*music plays beautifully*
Jon: [having a mental breakdown]
XD
He gets random seizures :( that's why papa Frank left us
@@singhji_437 😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣
I think you're right about him bringing people back to rock. I had no idea this was rock, I just thought it sounded really good.
Amazing x
its not "real rock" its more pop imo
@@user-zu6ts5fb6g its more like classic rock
It's definitely rnb with some classic rock
@@user-zu6ts5fb6g Naw, this is a rock song dude. A song can be a rock song and a pop song at the same time lol
Sonically and vocally this is Joji's best song, Slow Dancing is definitely right up there with it - but this is another level.
Agreed
Elene Qaldani Rain on me and The Medicine (Remix)are almost good in my opinion
@@BlueHat1 Sanctuary is good for sure, one of his best, but compared to this I feel like it's way too clean production-wise, almost sterile. Still a great track!
“Will He” is great also
jzbakos lmaoo you’re missing out on his other music
This song gave me major old Weeknd vibes
Yes.
Ye
First thought when I heard this was it sounded like a Kiss Land throwaway. I'm not too keen on it yet, Sanctuary was 10/10 tho, Run has it's moments which are amazing, but some parts seem dull

Basquiat_The_Creator which Kiss Land throwaway are you thinking of?
This is easily his best song he’s put out, it’s amazing.
This song caught me off guard too lol
Sanctuary was his previous song and was really good too. But his "older" music is mostly Lo-Fi sad boi music, I love it but I understand it's not for everyone.
He can rap, he can do lo-fi, he can do 80s rock what can't he do
He can eat ravioli in public while wearing a pink suit
@@kleozane2781 but he wasn't wearing the pink guy suit
@@Rauraurauuuuu but he is able to, he has the power
He can moan while eating ravioli
@@tristanlangmalakas3882 that's our boi yes
I've not felt so much emotion come from a song for many years, this is purely a legendary achievement.
Best song he's made, hands down. Definitely will be checking out his next album.
I had the same reaction when I first listened to it.This was hit me like a truck when the guitar and his vocals harmonized. This song, slow dancing in the dark and sanctuary all hit me like that.

He has to break thru with a hit on radio with this one....that voice....so smooth
Its absolutely stunning, been listening on repeat for a few days now. It has this incredible emotional layer that just gets to your heart, and joji's acting is just sublime as always. And that guitaaaaaaarrrr lord ♡
I don’t think anyone was ready for this!!! This sounds like nothing he’s done in the past complete genre bender
BALLADS 1 coming Jon? Love to see your reaction!!!!
He is further integrating rap and rock into a unexplainable genre it’s truly amazing
You should react to Ballads 1, Slow Dancing is from that album, and the rest of the album goes a lot of different places
Zelgaro agreed. I think it’s an underrated album for the different places he goes and his authenticity and does each pretty well even though it’s a bit random
When you reacting to rich Brian’s album the sailor??? Full of breath taking and grand production, you’ll really enjoy it!!
will he is so overlooked when it’s probably one of his top 3 songs
J- Cob YES WILL HE IS AMAZING
I agree man
Run, Will he, and Sanctuary are his 3 best songs
Yeeees that shit was fucking depresso expresso
1:37 jon be like "wtf is that allowed?"
This is my favorite reaction to this song, hands down. I'm Generation X and this song just took me right back to my teens. I already loved Joji, now I want to personally thank him for teleporting me back to my youth
This is definitely the best thing he's done. Joji has grown so much from rapping about rice fields.
I haven't felt this way about Jojo since I heard "Will he". That mad me stop in my tracks, and so did this joint.
I really connect to music so much within my soul and I can tell that it connects with you the same way. Love your passion for music mate! Great reactions! Keep up the great work!
i fucking LOVE how he reacted, he was laughing bc he was thinking that the song is amazing, i just loved this
The most underrated artist I love him
Eyebag brother hahahah this song is incredible boutta smash a follow on that instagram and enjoy the evening of new music
This dude straight got emotional over this one haha
LulzRoyce and I see why, this one got me too
Bro same... i felt thuss
yesssss i was hoping youd do this!!! joji is incredible 🙏🏼
I was so shocked when I heard it because I forgot how beautiful his voice is, and I knew I fell in love with this song the second I heard it.
One of those songs of 'love at first sound' ❤
Who would've thought, like they say, one day everyone finds there talent, never stop following your dreams.
I had that same reaction this morning when I pressed play. I had looped that first 30-40 seconds back so many times before I actually listened to the whole track. Absolute magic! Joji has many tracks I love but this was just a surprise! Oh and love your channel man. I recently subbed. Keep on grinding, the work your doing is tremendous.
This is one of my favourite RUclips videos to watch, I dunno why this one. Your reaction will never get old to this, man.
YOOO I GOT GOOSEBUMPS! I hadn't listened to this yet but wow i'm pleasantly surprised omg
I'm so glad you like this is much as I do. Fucking blown away when I heard it.
The poster in the back left shows how healthy and nourished JOJI’s eyelids are
ya know his eyebags got some golds inside there...just kidding. haha
I would love to see you react to some of his old videos. It's such a huge contrast from what he's doing now, you would never imagine he would be where he is now back when he was making those videos. It's inspiring honestly.
1:37 my face exactly when I heard it . I love all of his music but this one was special
come back to this video constantly. Such a banger, hope all is good Jon bro x
I stumbled across this track and haven’t stopped playing it. It draws you in from the offset, your reaction was much the same as mine and so you landed another subscriber. Good honest emotion and reaction.
came from your Glimpse of us Vid. Thanks!
I was listening, and getting such massive Floyd vibes, and I thought “you know what would make this perfect? A filthy guitar sol-“ 🎸WAAAAHHHHHHHHH🎸
Needless to say, I creamed my pants
The guitar at the end is just something else
the guitar solo..amazing
“my other eyebag brother” 😂
Really enjoyed this video, mate. Made me smile and reminded me to keep up with Joji
Please react to ‘Wanted U’ by Joji, listen to it almost daily. Very much the same kind of vibe but a little more power in the voice. You’ll love it John
Deane L. Arts one of the best off the album
this one is very good too
Jon I love your reaction videos good sir. Thank you for always sharing great music with the masses. You truly are the Profit!
Grew up watching FilthyFrank and im so happy that i know some people who love his music yet dont know who filthyfrank is. Just goes to show how successful he became without just his fans from youtube
Thank you so much for reacting to this,I love Joji and seeing him live was amazing. Having someone like you appreciate the song makes me love it even more
The fact that this man was hiding all this talent as filthy frank is insane, this guy has the talent to be one of the best
The chorus on this song is fucking perfect
I love you and your voice so God damn much John!
I actually got the ad for “run” when the video started
Recently I got the ad for Gimme Love and I happily sat there and listened
Even my middle aged dad loves this song, and he's a rock music snob who's very hard to impress. He immediately looked up tabs for bass after hearing this.
Yessssss, I got those 80's and 90's rock vibe also! Ugh I'm so glad I'm not alone!😂 again much love jon!🙏🏼❤
You weren't kidding about the vibe. It definitely feels like there's some Pink Floyd/David Gilmour influence in there with somewhere. Absolutely fantastic! I just watched the love performance on Jimmy Fallon and he killed! Even got a standing ovation!

I had a similar reaction to hearing this. I was like "pardon me? Why is this so exquisite"
I had the sameeee reaction when I watched. I almost freaking cried by the end of the video
You have to finish the video bro. There’s a cutscene that ties it in to Sanctuary
I popped lsd and started listening to this song.. man oh man that was something
Dope reaction fam
I had the exact same reaction. Wow. Keeping an eye out for more from him now. Really like his other stuff but this is another level. It's so good.
I didn't know much about Joji before now but after hearing this I am ITCHING for more. This song really came out of nowhere and fucked me up bad. I don't know if there's a better feeling than that for me when it comes to discovering music
Keep up the great videos man! Content is on point. 💪
People say perfection doesn't exist.
This song is perfect. The production, the lyrics, the video. Absolutely one of my favorite songs.
Welcome back to the glory days of music
I love Joji and I’m so so impressed with this single. Please react to more of his stuff !! :)
this song has a spell in it. people like joji can find it.
Joji saw take what you want and said, "I can do that. But by myself"
His videos weren’t fucked up....it was educational
Run and Sanctuary... wow! I'd love to hear an album with those 2
I love Joji songs since BALLADS 1. But here we see improvement on Joji's voice techniques. "Run" is already a classic (mostly because of the melody and this amazing guitar). Joji's voice warm the heart and this guitar penetrate our bones. Beauty.
Seriously. This is the first song I heard from him. Now I'm going through all his stuff. Even his old insane youtube videos, you can see the musical talent.
This guy created the Harlem Shake worldwide meme back in 2013.
This song actually makes you shiver and tear up at the same time
Always pleasure to watch your reviews Jon, have agood day! :)
Thank you!
the weekend and artic monkeys vibes! I love it
when I cry to a song...thats the song I PUT ON MY PLAYLIST
4:57 when someone takes the joke too far
I swear, the more I listen to this the better it gets.
Even tho you don’t really do much metal anymore you should definitely check out code orange - swallowing the rabbit whole or loathe - two way mirror
The song has those Redbone vibes. Part funk part rock with hip hop and rap influences... love it. To think of how far Joji has come, from the frank of the filth and pink guy to Directing and making his own music... its crazy.
You should react to Ballads 1, great content btw!
This song really is fucking phenomenal, I don't even listen to this type of music but this has to be one of the most surprisingly amazing songs ever
His voice gotten better after quitting smoking. During his filthy frank days he was a heavy smoker. But now that he quit his voice literally blossomed back up and it worked out very well !
Fucking amazing reaction bro, thanks for this. You truly captured my own feelings listening to this for the first time.
I love this fucking song
you should really react to BALLADS 1 before his new album drops. i think you would really enjoy it,
My boy started crying i feel it
I was blown away by run and now I'm glad to see that it wasnt just me and that this was a genuinely mind blowing song
