If you want to track the evolution of the ballad into the 2020s, you could do worse than check in with George Miller’s music as Joji. Mixing the poise and performance of R&B with the unsettling intimacy of bedroom pop, the tracks here represent a modern spin on an old form, capturing a cultural moment in which we’re somehow both isolated and yet on always on camera. Miller can be polished—as the former viral video star known as Filthy Frank and Pink Guy, he knows how to put on a show. But as befits viral video, Miller—an affiliate of the 88rising collective—also knows how to retain just a hint of ragged edge, a sense of imperfection and unpredictability that makes him sound all the more genuine.
