Joji Turns Melancholy into Art with “If It Only Gets Better”
Joji transforms sadness into a striking form of expression on his track If It Only Gets Better, serving as a glimpse into his upcoming album Piss In The Wind. The song merges melancholy and beauty through stripped-down production and emotional restraint.
A Minimalist and Emotional Opening
The track begins in a strip club setting, filled with expected visual flair, yet contrasts it immediately with gentle acoustic guitar and quiet introspection. According to producer Wonton, the guiding principle was simple:
"Let’s keep it sad."
The result is a hauntingly subdued anthem that turns familiar nightlife imagery into something fragile and reflective. Its lyrical theme can be summed up by a single line:
"If things get better, why bother changing anything?"
This paradoxical logic feels both self-aware and poetic in Joji’s delivery.
Production and Public Reaction
Mixed by Jeff Ellis and lasting barely two minutes, the track has split listeners online. Some argue it’s profound artistic expression, while others see it as a cryptic album teaser. The music video by Mamesjao enhances this ambiguity, blending humor and melancholy seamlessly.
Joji’s Artistic Evolution
Joji continues his journey from the eccentric persona of Filthy Frank to a deeply introspective musician. His signature style lies in making vulnerability resonate as beauty. If the rest of Piss In The Wind shares this raw emotional tone, it could be another defining moment in his career.
Final Thought
Whether it’s masterful minimalism or clever promotion, If It Only Gets Better proves Joji’s unique ability to balance irony and sincerity like no one else.
Author’s Summary: Joji’s new single melds humor and heartbreak into minimalist art, previewing an album that explores the beauty hidden in melancholy.
