9月25日，Joji发布了第二张录音室专辑 -《Nectar》。这张众星云集的专辑共收录了18首单曲，是Joji迄今为止最富有野心的一次企划。凭借着先前的四首先发曲目，《Nectar》就已经斩获了超过7.5亿的流媒体数据，其中单曲“Sanctuary”更是获得了美国唱片协会的金牌单曲认证。《Nectar》的第四首先发曲目“Daylight”，是一首由Diplo制作加持的充满热情的夏日热单。在此之前发布的，则是Joji 2020年的第一首单曲“Run”，这支作品不仅刷新了Joji在Billboard Hot 100榜单上的最高位置，同时还为Joji获得了登上Jimmy Fallon “The Tonight Show” 的首次电视曝光机会。而第二支单曲是被Complex称作“一首拥有着难忘声线的甜蜜流行金曲”的作品“Gimme Love”。 　　在《Nectar》的发布准备阶段，各方评论已经意识到了Joji作为一位艺术家从《BALLADS 1》至今所展现的巨大的成长。Joji描述《Nectar》的概念为“充满平和宁静的紧迫感”，在这张专辑所占领的空间之中，各种流派与风格互相融合，缓拍R&B滑入充满活力的流行音乐，独立另类的小众曲风靠向电子乐的领域；在这片空间里，情绪与感知纠缠探索每个生命天然地被什么所吸引——到底是愉悦还是生存——而最终他们都会在这里得到想要的答案。 　　Joji's sophomore studio album, Nectar, arrives September 25. With a star-studded cast of features across the 18-track album, Nectar is Joji’s most ambitious project to date. From the first 4 singles alone, Nectar has already garnered 750M+ streams –with “Sanctuary” earning RIAA Gold certification. “Daylight,” the fourth pre-release track from Nectar, is an anthemic summertime hit featuring crisp Diplo production. It follows the album’s first 2020 single, “Run,” which earned Joji his highest-ever bow on the Billboard Hot 100 and his television debut on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon; and second single “Gimme Love” which Complex hailed as "a sticky pop anthem with haunting vocals.” 　　In the build-up to the release of Nectar, critics have already recognized Joji’s immense growth as an artist from BALLADS 1 to now. A project Joji describes as having “a sense of urgency but calm”, Nectar occupies space where genres melt into each other, where downtempo R&B slides into invigorated pop, where indie alternative creeps into electronica; where emotions get tangled in an exploration of what every living being is innately drawn to - whether for pleasure or for survival - and the ends they’ll go to reach it. 　　The album showcases the wide-ranging universe of Joji’s collaborators, including New Zealand-based indie-pop darling BENEE, globetrotting producer-DJ-musician Diplo, Atlanta rapper mainstay Lil Yachty, Mexican-american R&B singer-songwriter Omar Apollo, Japanese lo-fi bedroom pop up-and-comer rei brown, and critically-acclaimed experimentalist Yves Tumor. Featuring standout production from Diplo, Bekon & The Donuts (Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN., Rich Brian’s The Sailor), Justin Parker (Lana Del Rey’s “Born To Die”, Rihanna’s “Stay”), Kenny Beats (Ed Sheeran’s “Take Me Back To London” and DaBaby’s “Toes”) and more, the album’s thematic and sonic diversity remains unified by Joji’s lyricism and tone. Nectar comes from the in-between place that Joji's work paces, characterized by its evocatively smeared quality.
