Joji Shares New Single ‘Sanctuary’

Japanese electronic R&B singer and producer Joji is back with his brand new single Sanctuary, a beautiful power ballad packed with lots of emotion and sentiment. This is a song about a lovesick yet hopeful feeling towards an unrequited love.

I am loving his soulful vocals here and the song is drenched in minimalistic beats and futuristic soundscapes. Accompanying this release Joji shared its official music video, directed by Eoin Glaister, which is a campy space drama as envisioned by Joji.

The video for Sanctuary is a melancholic space odyssey that tells the story of “Captain Joji,” a space ranger who travels across lightyears to defeat his arch nemesis. The video begins with Captain Joji succeeding in ridding the universe of his sworn enemy and portrays life a year later for Captain Joji and his crew. The visual deals with the malaise of a hero who, after saving the galaxy, no longer bears a purpose. The burden of being a hero without a clear future weighs heavily on Captain Joji.
