Joji’s new single “Run” will once again have you crying and in your feelings, but what else is new? The singer released the single early on Thursday, and later released it’s music video a few hours later. Joji released his single “Sanctuary,” in June, and we can only hope this means that a new album is on the way this year.
On “Run” we can hear how Joji’s voice has matured, as he gives one of his best vocal performances, that is accompanied by a metallica-like guitar. It’s a melancholy track where he reminisces over an ex-lover, who is now in a new relationship. He feels as if his only option is to run, which explains the accompanying video.
The “Run” video opens up with Joji waking up on a elongated limousine where he tries to run away from partygoers. There are shots throughout of Joji on the ground, where his face appears to be cracking to match the cracks on the ground.
The final shots show him waking up on a spaceship, with bed sheets made of tinfoil, and a repetitive computerized “wake up” alert. The ending seems to connect with the “Sanctuary” music video where he appears to be in a similar spaceship while covered with the same blanket. We can only hope this possible storyline is yet another sign of an upcoming album.
RUN out now on all platforms. https://t.co/DHX1z8YX36 pic.twitter.com/1rlUvpjNjO — JOJI (@sushitrash) February 6, 2020
