Joji - Smithereens (Highlighter Yellow Colour Vinyl)

Just two years after the release of his big-budget sophomore set Nectar, Japanese singer/songwriter Joji dials it back and dives deep on his brisk third LP, Smithereens. Nursing the wounds of lost love, the album is steeped in heartbreak and yearning; however, by tapping into his swirling well of feelings, it becomes a touching and beautiful revelation.

Clocking in at under 30 minutes, Smithereens is the perfect length to wallow in sadness before wiping off the tears and carrying on. It's not the happiest of experiences, but it is his most mature and relatable statement to date.
