Joji Returns With "Run," New Single & Music Video Following Chart-topping Ballads 1 LP

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, Joji - the first Asian-born artist to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart - releases his highly anticipated new single "Run", available everywhere via 88rising, distributed by 12Tone Music. Produced by Joji & Justin Parker (Rihanna, Lana Del Rey, Ellie Goulding), the guitar-driven track follows Joji's RIAA-certified Gold debut album BALLADS 1, which debuted at #3 on Billboard's Top 200, and spun off 1 Platinum ("SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK") and 2 Gold-certified singles ("YEAH RIGHT", "CAN'T GET OVER YOU"). As Joji surpasses 3.5 billion global streams and prepares for his Coachella debut in April, "Run" is a testament to his fearless artistic evolution, showcasing the restless creator's extraordinary range and setting the stage for a ground-breaking year, with more new music to come.

The dramatic "Run" visual, shot by Aisultan Seitov (21 Savage, Offset) from a treatment written in collaboration with Joji himself, drops the viewer into the surreal world of a global superstar - by turns alluring and claustrophobic - as a lovesick Joji runs through a labyrinthine stretch limo bathed in blue light, repelled by the decadent trappings of fame.
