OVERVIEW
Joji was born in Osaka, Japan, as George Miller. His stage name, Joji, is the Japanese pronunciation of George. He was the first Asian-born artist to reach number 1 on the Billboard R&B and hip-hop charts in November 2018 with his first studio album, Ballads 1. Since then, he has released four singles with accompanying music videos, and he will be releasing his second studio album, Nectar, on September 20th, 2020.
SOLUTION
The four released songs on Joji’s upcoming album, Nectar, focus on themes of isolation, not belonging, and a need for escape. Additionally, the music videos all incorporate space travel or imagery of other planets, usually uninhabited. The noun, interspace, means “to occupy a space between,” which directly connects to the album’s themes of not belonging or feeling isolated. The word “space” also creates a clear connection to Joji’s imagery of space travel and other planets.
