Why cant we all agree that Joji is very versatile when it comes to Music, -Chloe Burbank -> Lofi -In Tounges -> R&B -Ballads1-> More modernized, Pop/R&B
@@randomizderr4110 indie just means independently produced. That is why there is "indie insert any genre". The indie sound typically is just less produced, which some people like more than heavily produced music.
Probably the most interesting thing about joji is that all of those albums you stated have ways they sound different, but also quite a few ways they are alike
It was 3 years ago when my depression got worse. I didn't have any purpose to live aside from working a 9 to 5 job that has a minimum pay. And then I found Filthy Frank and Pink Guy. I enjoyed watching their satire and offensive videos, helping my depression to ease up a bit. Weeks later, I met a girl who happened to be my sister's friend. Coincidentally, she, too, watches FF and enjoys it too. I never knew that I would meet someone with the same interest as me. She then introduced Joji to me. I enjoyed his music. I can relate a lot from his songs about depression and heartaches. We would both hang out and listen to his songs at my apartment while chilling, and that's one of the best moments I've ever had. A few more months later, we started dating. She's a fun gal. Caring, sweet, weird... almost the same quality as me. I loved it when she randomly pops up and annoy me during my worktime. She would buy me meals, take me out for a walk and even play games at her place. Our favorites wouldbe Thom and Slow Dancing in the Dark. Until such time when we had a fight. It was that time when I got mad at something too soon that I never got to see the bigger picture. I was wrong. I was dumb. The next days, she didn't reply to my messages nor payed me visits like before. Weeks, months... until a year later, and we still didn't have any communication. At first, I thought that maybe she's busy or have already moved on. That is until a word came from my sister. She was hospitalized, bed-ridden for the past 8 months due to ovarian cancer. A chill came down my spine. I started to worry and told her to keep me updated in the future. I couldn't come to visit her. She may get mad or maybe I'll just cause problems if I were to go there. So I patiently waited for her recovery. She even told me that she already forgave me long ago, and she wishes to hang out with me again. We missed each other. One cold night, I was out drinking with my friends, when my phone rang. It was my sister. I was laughing at the moment, but my sister was doing the complete opposite. I can hear her sniffle and whimper. She was crying. I asked her what's wrong, and my sister replied, "she's gone". I felt a wild mix of emotions. I was pissed, sad and terribly depressed. She must've been joking, I said to myself. But unfortunately, my sister was telling the truth. She died, not from the cancer, but due to cardiac arrest during her operation. It's really depressing because right before the operation, she told me that we should hang out soon enough. She also told me to keep the Pink Guy, Ballads 1, and Chloe Burbank albums and never to delete it. I hoped that things would be better. Fuck. Our moments began to flashback as I walked back to my apartment. A mix of self-hatred and regret overwhelmed my chest. The rain started to pour, as I fucking screamed and cried at the middle of the park. I was not only depressed, but also suicidal from that point. My worst regret is not attending her wake. I hated myself and my fucking boss who never gave me the permission. But as far as it is, I just feel depressed and I really want to die. I had several suicide attempts already. Some sent me to the hospital, some in jail, and some in mental wards. I got fired from my old job, and now I'm just a nobody clerk somewhere. If you're reading this, please take care of your special someone. Please don't screw up like me. Keep safe.
That really hurt to read man. I don’t even know who you are but if you made it this far i am sure you will get out of this situation and feel well again. Nobody deserves to live depressed or suicidal. All the best to you..
Back when I was a freshman, when I first found out he made these romantic DIY songs. 2016 was really an era. When he kept his musical talents in the closet, and still uploaded as Frank. When he still hung out with Ian and Max. It was a special time, watching him grow- awaiting an inevitable big-break to fame. Happy to see where he went, just really really miss this sound. All his producers were amazing, especially Shamana.
I think Old Yeller is a pink guy song... like, when he was "working on another pink guy album" I think that's where Old Yeller came from. I mean, 'Misery' is literally the chorus for 'Fried Noodles'. So it makes sense.
Chloe Burbank: reminds me of summer, picking flowers with my sweetheart In Tongues: reminds me of gazing off into the night sky outside my window in a small neighborhood before i fall asleep, crying and depressed Ballads 1: reminds me of being completely torn apart, with myself laying on the floor as the city lights cast an ambience while i listen to static on the tv
Ahh the Chloe Burbank era The era in which I was introduced to indie music by my 2nd crush The era in which Joji was less trap, less 88rising The era in which filthyfrank still uploads And the era where I start searching about who Chloe Burbank was. Update (4 May 2023): Hi everyone ( *・∀・)ノ Wow, saw the analytics and saw that I posted this comment back in 8 October 2018. It's been so long huh. I don't mean to sound cheesy or cliché with the comment, but thank you for the 7.5k likes. Just wanna express about how much this album meant to me. I went through high school listening to this masterpiece of a compilation, went through two heartbreaks over two different girls, and now, listening to it while going through my self-development phase (alongside other albums, of course, specifically Alina Baraz & Galimatias's "Urban Flora", Joe Pass's "Virtuoso #2", and Puma Blue's "Swum Baby"). This album helped me expand my musical tastes (and greater thanks to those who've found the samples of Joji's songs here), never thought I'd be a jazz enthusiast and music explorer because of a man who made me, and of course so many more, laugh so much with his shock-comedy, intense slapstick and vile waste of food. About my heartbreak, I've been recuperating well, in fact it had prompted me to have a moment of contemplation, and pushed me to get out of my comfort zone and have some self-improvement. I want to thank everyone who've read and replied to my 4 year old comment, and sorry if I never managed to find out who Chloe Burbank is; perhaps we will never know until someone personally asks Joji and posts his answer online. I'm always happy to see that this video will always gain likes and views, happy to know that there are more people with my musical tastes :)) I hope all of you are doing well. Well if you don't feel well, I'd like to share some of what my grandmother taught me (through my mother, and with my words): If you ever feel down, or feel downed by life, be grateful to God, because I believe God loves you by testing you, and keep doing your best to overcome those hard times. Once you've passed that test, inshallah, you be rewarded with something good, and a bigger test that shall reward you with something much better, so and so. The point is, never give up, always be grateful, because you never know whether your hard times are a hidden blessing. May Allah bless all of you with strength, jazāk-allāhu khayran, salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah.
she's the girl who doesn't exist. motif for a depression. she represents that toxic girl who you poured your heart for and then weeped for when she rejected you.
Lmao everyone actiing like Joji switched up after 88rising, like nah, it just less lofi sampling because he couldnt get the rights. He's got a label and its resources, he's gonna use them
It's actually the opposite, a good portion of this album is samples from other artists, while his In Tongues and Ballads 1 albums were almost entirely, if not completely original content, correct me if I'm wrong.
@Gabu yea but the fact that he doesnf have verses and stuff like that in this album is what makes it good because it leaves you with an after effect of a nice empty feeling, also fuck you mean horribly looped
Joji actually performed You suck charlie during his concert in Denver this year! I listen to Joji every day, his music is practically a part of me. But I had totally forgotten about this album. Rediscovering this mournful magic now is somehow even sweeter knowing where he is on his journey as an artist
💯 I thank pre-88rising Joji, and bigger thanks to those who know of the samples, for encouraging me to expand my musical knowledge, especially in jazz. Never would I know of musicians like McCoy Tyner, Joe Pass, Thelonious Monk and Wes Montgomery had I not been a fan of Filthyfrank/Joji
yeah i really miss his old style but im glad there are still people out there who still keep this kind of music alive ( cough cough Frank Cross cough cough)
I miss this kind of music so much Joji was the only artist I know of that made this kind of music so well I will cherish songs like "Thom" and "You suck charlie forever", I still really like George as a person But I cant connect too much to his newer music, which does make me kinda sad But I should not be sad about it I'm just glad these amazing songs exist and George is happy in his current state
His new music is also really good and the old stuff to. I really dont have a different opinion on either one but definitely would recommend joji to anyone
I love how many people shares their life stories in these comments. George have a really mixed fanbase. One edgy assholes and the other depressed people that appreciate his art.
You can feel the depression in his music. Even the new stuff has that vibe still. He's having fun, but you can tell he has or still hurts. We all fucking hurt, but occasionally someone translates that convoluted mess into art we can all understand and appreciate and that's exactly what he did and does
You wanna know why this worked though? His fan base literally being two sided? edge lords and actual fans? It's because Filthy Frank stuff was always asserted by George that it's just a caricature. I think the way he handled the content and the caricature, and the constant character breaks that show us a more human side of Frank/Pink guy and Joji himself is what I think solidified his fanbase to having two sides. I say this, because, you probably don't notice or care but, a lot of caricatures don't assert that personality and sentiment about themselves. It's like part of the troll, to troll more than just victims of their troll, but also the fanbase. Which I think is detrimental at times.
@@Taking2354 not really though cause the fanmade versions are just compilations of random unrelated tracks from around then. Many of the tracks aren't even his but just slowed versions of other songs he used for his videos.
It kills me to see people who were hardcore FF fans shitting on Joji whether it be in the Chloe Burbank era or the NECTAR era. His music is beautiful all-around and so many people are stuck on his lo-fi, lowkey sound and meme music. The amount of production and the mastery of vocals in his modern stuff is amazing and it's disappointing to see so many of his "fans" shit on his new style.
I was a big Filthy Frank fan and thought this album was good back in the day. Still think Chole Burbank and stuff from around this time is great. Even In Tongues is ok. But as it went on his music got more and more diluted. Of course part of it is Nostalgia, listening to this made me sad because it reminded me of older times. I just don't think Joji is as good as he was on this album or in this era in general.
I like this music a lot more than Joji's current music. But I still really like his newer music, but it feels like he's gone more mainstream, which I understand's got to happen, but I don't really like trap that much. Edit: YO WAIT A FUCKIN MINUTE RAIN ON ME AIN'T HERE
I made a documnetary detailing his rise in music. Good response so far but i have no joji fans who are friends... so check it out on my channel if you fancy. Its called Joji the genius you never knew
i don’t know if anyone will even come across this. i wish i could meet joji and let him know we all adore him. 3/29/20- sitting in quarantine with nothing to do but escape from the real world with music. i discovered joji at the ripe age of 7 because my brother would watch him on his channels and this was a time where a lot was going on at home. at the time i didn’t fully understand his humor since i was so young but over the years it’s one thing i treasure deeply. my brother and i would sit in one of our rooms and binge frank’s videos while my parents would be getting violent downstairs. it was his way of distracting me until the police would arrive. now age 14, with the world in a shittier position than i had anticipated, i find myself every single day listening to jojis music. any of it. and as much as everyone misses frank, if you actually support him, you’d appreciate the work passion and dedication he puts into his music and career. and if he doesn’t want his past brought up, we should all respect that. seeing george’s development as a human being sheds a new light on his music and the emotion he puts into it. for 7 years now, joji has been an escape from society for me. the first thing i do when i’m feeling anxious or upset: listen to joji. the music that plays in my ears for the majority of the school day while i have to see bullshit people: joji. i’m a pretty lonely person with no real friends, so i have a lot of time invested in music. but i truly connect with jojis art. not only does he has an awesome personality, he is hella attractive and i hope he realizes. i really should be doing in online school work now while i’m stuck in the house for who knows how long. we all love u joji please never stop making me smile:) Edit: Chloe Burbank is the perfect album to listen to while rain is pouring and the lighting lights up your dark bedroom to reveal your cat snuggled up against you afraid of the thunder, then you let yourself detach from the world
Olivia Perkins same i discovered joji when i was like 12 from filthy frank and like did so much research on his music and like i grew up with him and he pretty much was on the lofi hip hop wave before anyone else
man, i'm scrollling through here after "gimme love," and... hm. never have i felt more at home. p.s. i'd love to become friends with all of you people, what a heartfilling thing that'd be.
damn man, felt like I was reading my own early puberty, except more lonely. I first watched frank when I was 12-13, but only months ago I realized his genius, understood the humor behind his videos, got deep in the lore and became open minded to all kinds of music, discovering this piece rn. It's weird, Joji is a great person with lots of passions, I truly respect him.
OcceanMan honestly he released the best tracks before the album even came out, “slow dancing in the dark”, “can’t get over you”, and “wanted u” are my favorites
KirbyKip251 I agree that he released all the best music before ballads dropped, I mean some cool sounds came out of ballads 1 and interesting prod. So I think if you took parts of ballads 1 and Chloe Burbank you’d get something really good
I think "slow dancing in the dark" is his best track yet, lyrically, artistically and instrumentally and is really a step forward in terms of his sound though that may just boil down to taste.
Six! Seven! Fucking years! '15-'17 was the best time of my life, and this along with several other lo-fi based playlists were crucial in the creation of those beautiful memories. Now that life just seems to get darker for every year that passes by, thank you Joji, Frank, for the good times. I'm glad I caught onto you. I will never repeat those days again.
I miss this, listening to this really brings me back, flashing memories through my mind. Just like looking through an old photo book. I can’t explain the way George (joji) makes me feel, but it’s a good feeling. Even though he doesn’t know me I feel really connected to the artist which is really crazy to say
7 years ago, oh how time marches. These really were the sounds of my teenage youth, feeling freshly away from yet so far. Far also from whatever futures still ahead
Just discovered this in 2022 and I'm just... speechless. Wish Joji can come back to doing this style of music that's all him. This is now gonna be my favorite playlist.
Chloe Burbank and Pink Guy were a huge part of the soundtrack of my life around high school and later college. Driving around with all my friends and making memories with these playing. Listening to these now is so bittersweet. I wish I knew I was in the good times before I left them.
@@jebert537 hey, don't you worry :,) though i don't know you personally, i just want you to know something. there are a million people out there just like you, like me! and if time, stress, and existing got you feeling isolated,, just know we're all here, together. and it takes time, and i wouldn't want you to fear time, okay? whatever it takes, a bowl of midnight cereal, a breath in before you keep typing, or thirty eight minutes and thirty three seconds of a beautiful voice. we've got this.
I hate it when people hate on his new music which he works hard to showcase his vocals without them being overshadowed by melody just because it was with 88 rising. He can switch it up if he likes. In the end his fans really should be supporting him . yall are just bored .lol
@@leonardo9259 original doesn't necessarily mean good. Just cause something is influential doesn't mean it's amazing. Not saying CB is bad or anything, but his new stuff is just an overall improvement.
I used to listen to this whole album in 2017, when I first left for college. Suddenly thought about it today. I remember listening to these tracks over and over and over again, literally nonstop while I walked around a new city, taking trains, busses, to look at buildings and walk around parks by myself. Crazy how much it's taking me back.
Unpopular opinion in this comment section: I prefer Joji's music now than this. I love both, but if I have to choose, I'm going with the music he's making now. Sure, they aren't all bangers, but they're so much more experimental than his lofi phase, and the experimentation is paying off. A lot of his stuff still isn't trap like some of y'all are claiming, idk why you think he's only releasing trap?? He's progressing more and more as an artist and I think that's awesome. These tracks are strictly tracks that you can really only relax to/have them in the background; focus completely on them and you'll get bored (though there are about 3 trap tracks here). His songs are slowly becoming songs that you can actually sit down and listen to on their own (Slow Dancing in the Dark, No Fun, and Can't Get Over You) because of that style change. I'm happy to see him grow, unlike a lot of people here who only like his lofi. I hope he keeps it up and gets more comfortable in his style, whatever it may be, as an artist. I really would love to hear some more bangers out of him (looking at you, Slow Dancing in the Dark).
I like your take on Joji's music. You consider his newer stuff to be more "experimental" but I found it to be around equivalent in the realm of experimental material. I consider Joji's new stuff to be the material found on "In Tongues" and "BALLADS 1". and I can see the effort of him trying to experiment with vocal ranges, aesthetics, and essentially 'breaking out of his shell' and becoming less timid with the way he portrays himself as Joji. His newer stuff has all types of growth, it's pretty much testing out what does or doesn't work. But that's the thing, although it's nice to see him grow and develop as a musician (like he started off rapping about depraved things on youtube). It doesn't offer much for what in my opinion is 'good music'. When he hits, he really hits. Here are some examples: Slow Dancing in the Dark - A masterpiece of Joji, the synths felt nostalgic yet displayed futuristic and modern audio, the structure of the song seems to flow well, and the mumble of his verse to the shouting of his chorus is just so amazing. It's like seeing all of his potential in his song. I believe that song is probably his best. CAN'T GET OVER YOU - It's a cute song that can be bopped over and over. It's simplistic, it's fun, it's cute, and overall just cheery and practically the opposite of most of Joji's newer material. yeah right - A song where the slobbery, slow, and mumbling voice benefits the song. It's vibe really match up with the whole theme of the song, being about partying your life away because of heartbreak. Although critiqued for being one of Joji's more boring songs, I think the effort that went into this (the grainy/nostalgic production, joji getting chubby for the music video, the mumble vocals, and overall song) is just a solid song. Those are examples where I would consider Joji hits. When he misses in a song, he also misses hard. Test Drive was very boring and underwhelming, and the vocals sounded very weird, and kind of creates a bit of a disconnect with me and the song. Not to mention, it sounds like a Post Malone B-side or fan cover, and the vibe just sounds like it was a cash grab single. This also is a controversial thing to say, but the In Tongues EP was just boring. I felt like I wanted to go to sleep from the boredom of the music, not because it was successfully dreamy. That was just on experimenting. Joji was a pioneer of lo-fi, and incorporating R&B and chillhop elements into it. He may not have been the very first to have the idea of lo-fi, but when compared to the generic sadboi tracks, he's extremely good. Even though the tracks of lo-fi are just meant to be background and not much paid attention to, I usually find myself singing or enjoying the melody on my own. But, I will be fair, because some of the newer singles Joji has dropped have been memorable lyrical miracles (hah, reference.) Joji's old stuff wasn't focusing on lyricism. That might sound bad, but, the beat is kind of the lead of melody, whilst the lyrics just strengthens that bond of vocal melody and the sound of the song. Joji's new stuff has some pretty garbage lyrics if I were to be completely honest. For proof, just interpret your own meaning for his newer songs, and then watch the genius explanations, there isn't much to be had. And if that's bad enough, there's pink guy lyrics deeper than that. Pink Guy's McDonalds rap brings a melancholy piano beat, and raps about the globalization and how the masses are dumbed down to the point where they willingly sacrifice their money, health, and morals for some "heaps of internal shitty meat". Rice Balls is another example of fine lyricism, it's just a freestyle calling out his fans for suddenly wanting joji after rejecting it, and shoehorning some standard pink guy shenanigans. Another thing I'd like to discuss is his voice. Although it's starting to get better recently, Joji still tends to mumble his way through songs (although it's nowhere near as bad as somebody like Lil Xan). He lacks falsettos, adlibs, and that Joji style I fell in love with. Even the more inaudible vocal performances on his soundcloud days still beat most of the stuff from In Tongues. I think your opinion is good, what you've brought to the table was positive and elaborate. What might not work for me works for you, and that's cool. It's just a case of differing tastes. Although I think Joji's highs nowadays are amazing, his soundcloud days had consistency and was a pioneer for an entire genre. But that's just what I think. You may have the opposite feelings. If you read this, thank you for getting to hear my opinion, and I hope you have a good day. P.S. I know World$tar Money was on In Tongues, it's role as an interlude wasn't executed well though.
People will never stop overpraising lo-fi because of its nostalgic sound and eerie vibe the genre generally has, makes them ignore that most lo-fi tracks are very low effort, bland, repetitive, and just overall bad. Bet a grand they wont like "lo-fi" music if it has no low fidelity/retro filter and just a hq piano with beat, 100%. The only lo-fi I can accept is Nujabes and producers in his circle. The rest are just Nujabes wannabes and hippie beatmakers.
After listening to this and Run, I cannot believe how far he's come. I will always love this album, but you can tell even in BALLADS 1 that he knew what he was doing and loving it
Thom and Good Luck Charlie were the first songs I heard of his as Joji. They always gave me a warm, comforting feeling, and still do. I don't connect with his newer music as much. Other tracks like worldstar and besidju I had on repeat a lot as well. Sophomore/Junior years of high school. Walking around thinking about what I wanted to be doing. Kind of sad that it's a lost era but I'm glad the music is still here for us to come back and listen to. Even though it was only a few years ago I have a weird nostalgia of scrolling through his SoundCloud and being excited to see a new track uploaded during this era. Once songs like slow dancing in the dark blew up along with the transition to 88rising, a new era was clearly cemented. I'm happy he's on a great path nowadays but there's always a side of me that wishes he indulged in this kind of sound a bit longer. No way it would last forever, though. I guess that's why we're all here in this comment section.
Middle school, autistic and just had a sort of "reality snap". I was always sad and scared shitless, trying to understand people and new emotions. Music like Chloe Burbank carried my soul. I'm forever grateful that this existed during one of the biggest struggles in my life.
Why so 2016, was.. What, like 4 years from now, and it seemed like a shit year, but at the end of the day, it wasn't bad after all.. I remember how Frank made me laugh, and Joji made me cry. Now I revist this album ones in a while, and I feel how much happier I was back then. Is it just a part of growing up, or the world around me is indeed gets progressively more depressing and disturbing 😔?
As much as I love _BALLADS 1,_ this is a side of Joji I never got to see. I wasn't really into Joji until 2018, so I unfortunately missed _Chloe Burbank_ when it was coming out. But holy crud am I glad you uploaded it here. I've been going through and finding lost Joji songs and I'm loving them all. _In Chains_ is such a good album, I wish he'd stuck with that sound. But he's releasing a new song tomorrow, and I think it's going to be good.
I honestly loved the whole transition and tug-of-war between pink guy and joji/frank... It felt sad while it also laughed at sadness' face which in turn made the sadness feel pathetic and hopeless... It was such a great era of his work as an artist... I absolutely loved the political incorrectness of pink guy and how it clashed with his own vulnerability, creating a self aware and self loathing monster And then to see him redeemed with "monster" too ✨🤌🏻✨ *rat chef's kiss* All his journey is honestly such an experience, I'm so glad I got to experience the whole thing while it occurred 👌🏻👌🏻
Also, I think you're talking about sanctuary... Aren't you? If so, it absolutely was... Imo one of the best songs he's composed/sung (Also, I can't help but notice slight homo romantic undertones in the song too, the character referencing spock very much helps that narrative)
This isn't an official release, just a fanmade compilation of random leaks. Thom and You Suck Charlie were the original two leaks from the alleged Chloe Burbank project from back around 2016 before he was doing things under Joji.
Ha, I remember I have a loop of unsaved info and used to cry to it all the time. I'm in a better place now with a different mindset, still working towards a better me but it's nice to look back then now and again.
This unofficial album was really slapping. Crazy it's been 5 years. Proud to see him get as far as he did. Internet has helped a lot of people get big.
I’ve been listening to this album since 2012. I give it my full attention at least every 6 months and still get the same feelings every time. It’s so so good.
In the intro part Joji said this Japanese sentence "そういう感じで" which means "It sounds something like this", his voice when he speaks Japanese is so sexy T_____T
God this was nostalgic listening to all these songs again. Takes me back to first year Uni just chilling in my dorm depressed. In hindsight sucks to be depressed but something about those days were amazing, maybe it was my lack responsibilities.
sinto falta dessa essência, a qualidade acústica das musicas de joji melhoraram num nível absurdo mas por algum motivo sinto saudade desse tempo. A musica era 100% feita por ele, do toques ao vocal era 100% ele, isso me trás um sentimento de sinceridade e simplicidade... joji
I was obsessed with Joji at the end of 2021. Sepetember 2021- January 2022. This was all i'd listen to. Every once in a while I have to come back, his music is just too good. He actually influenced me to make my own music.
This stuff is absolutely beautiful. His new stuff is just so... clean and mainstream. I hope one day he visits his roots. This sound is so unique. My favorite Joji project, almost one of my favorites albums.
I discovered this album 5 years ago in the summer before 9th grade. I was a huge fan of Filthy Frank and this showed me such a sensitive side of him. It felt like discovering some secret side of someone that refused to come out. I always kept wondering, 'who hurt you?' I was so obsessed with Joji as a person and although I can't really say I enjoy his music all that much after this, I'm really happy for him and finally doing what he loves. I'm in university now and I'm coming back to this album. It's funny how we all grow sometimes.
Damn this is my fav version of Chloe Burbank it just flows the best and no unnecessary tracks, does not overstay its welcome, perfect placements of interludes; it also fits a vibe and a e s t h e t i c, as well as graining up the album cover like an old television screen, really adds to the project's lofi backdrop.
Back in 2015-16 it was music that really touched me and I felt something while listening. Nowadays I hear this and I feel the nostalgia and be happy that this sad times are over. At the moment I am kinda binging the old Joji Music, I hear it while playing games, thinking and go to nap, like I did it 5 years ago. Thanks for the Upload King
this little mixtape will always have a place in my heart, i always find myself coming back here when i’m hurting or just wanting to hear the rainy day lofi beats out this mixtape being named chloe burbank makes me sad in a way. me and my ex broke up around 6 months ago and i definitely was the one who took it the hardest. her name was chloe, sad coincidence. these songs hit hard i find myself crying to these. thank you chloe burbank
Declan McGhee Yeah, good on him for being able to put his audience in a distinguished setting to where I can feel physically there. Didn’t know how much was actually filmed there I’m just basing it off filthy frank timeline
eliana colon yeah. i love the lyrics that really give you a clear setting like in Thom when he says “I take the D-train to go to BK.” stuff like that that really gives you environment and grit.
There's so many people saying that his old music is better than the nower ones. Imo, he has been improving so much since In Tongues, and Ballads 1 its just a m a z i n g. Its not just a simple lofi sound anymore (like this and In Tongues, even tho i completely LOVE chloe burbank), its really well produced, you can really see his talent and skills. Its not a boring and kind of repetitive album like In Tongues, its almost an experience. The first time i listened to it, it was fun, i felt excited, happy but with sad vibes (if that makes sense). I was really into it and it was overall a great experience... untill R.I.P camed and trippie red ruined it jskskjf I get it, everybody has different likes and opinions, even more when it comes to music, but i think George deserves more credit for his improvement and how him and his music changed for good. //also, sorry if i spelled anything wrong, english is not my native lenguage oof//
Ballads1 doesnt have the appartment room aesthetic, but it shows that his music is really matured up, Id appreciate that he make a song that has the chloe burban aesthetic
The thing I like about this era of joji is how it isn't "well" produced. You can tell it's just a guy with garage band sampling some jazz and singing over it. It feels so cozy and intimate, while his 88rising stuff feels too over produced and cliché to me. To be honest, I can't really get into any of the songs on In Tongues and Ballads 1 at all. It feels like he's going into a more typical pop direction, which I'm really not into
Imo Nectar is gonna be the best thing Joji is gonna put out, I mean shit the first 3 singles were really good and really shows what joji can do as an artist
i really hope joji puts in some new albums some more old musics like these just like he did with plastic taste, worldstar money and i don't wanna waste your time
I both really enjoy and respect what joji is making these days, but Chloe Burbank is so special that I don't think anything has or ever will strike this kind of vibe again. I almost prefer it that way too; it makes listening to this album even more special ☺️
I graduate university next year - this takes me all the way back to sophomore year in high school. Those days had the sunniest and rainiest days I can remember. This unreleased album was so transformative for me - it inspires both emotion and hope for the future. Words can't really describe it, but this album immediately triggers so many memories that are melancholic now. Shoutout joji
imma delete this if y'all keep comparing it to his new albums
pleassse don't delete
bars
ohgwad
thanks for the heads up. people gonna fuck this up ---> youtubetomp3
Settle down
IM GOING BACK TO MY EDGY TEEN YEARS IT WASNT A PHASE IM DEPRESSED
mrdrpeper same
F
wow that's edgy asf
Prolly depressed cause you don't have an ST.
I would like this but you're at 420 likes, lets leave it at that
Why cant we all agree that Joji is very versatile when it comes to Music,
-Chloe Burbank -> Lofi
-In Tounges -> R&B
-Ballads1-> More modernized, Pop/R&B
indie isn't a genre
Dr. Drinkling ah my b
they're really just all mixtures of genres. lo-fi, rnb, trap, indie, jazz etc. joji goes deep and makes every genre sound great
@@randomizderr4110 indie just means independently produced. That is why there is "indie insert any genre". The indie sound typically is just less produced, which some people like more than heavily produced music.
Probably the most interesting thing about joji is that all of those albums you stated have ways they sound different, but also quite a few ways they are alike
I honestly don't understand why joji felt ashamed of this album.Such a masterpiece for an indie genre.
he didnt feel ashamed he could just never monitize the unlicensed samples
@@RealityBoat I think the sample work on this album and is what sets it well above the rest of his music.
also because some of his shitty FitlhyFrank fans shitted on this back in the day and wanted him to keep doing the FF stuff instead of music completely
H3AD
his new shit kinda wack ngl i miss the lowkeyness
Not that we can go back though, people change and the joji we got is the joji we got
Burrito Wyrm run is great tho
Insane to think about how he produced all this on GarageBand
he had ghost producers ig
i can’t even make a good beat on it
Wait for real?
It's actually acapella, nice try tho
Whattt?
It was 3 years ago when my depression got worse. I didn't have any purpose to live aside from working a 9 to 5 job that has a minimum pay. And then I found Filthy Frank and Pink Guy.
I enjoyed watching their satire and offensive videos, helping my depression to ease up a bit. Weeks later, I met a girl who happened to be my sister's friend. Coincidentally, she, too, watches FF and enjoys it too. I never knew that I would meet someone with the same interest as me.
She then introduced Joji to me. I enjoyed his music. I can relate a lot from his songs about depression and heartaches. We would both hang out and listen to his songs at my apartment while chilling, and that's one of the best moments I've ever had.
A few more months later, we started dating. She's a fun gal. Caring, sweet, weird... almost the same quality as me. I loved it when she randomly pops up and annoy me during my worktime. She would buy me meals, take me out for a walk and even play games at her place. Our favorites wouldbe Thom and Slow Dancing in the Dark.
Until such time when we had a fight. It was that time when I got mad at something too soon that I never got to see the bigger picture. I was wrong. I was dumb. The next days, she didn't reply to my messages nor payed me visits like before.
Weeks, months... until a year later, and we still didn't have any communication. At first, I thought that maybe she's busy or have already moved on. That is until a word came from my sister.
She was hospitalized, bed-ridden for the past 8 months due to ovarian cancer. A chill came down my spine. I started to worry and told her to keep me updated in the future. I couldn't come to visit her. She may get mad or maybe I'll just cause problems if I were to go there. So I patiently waited for her recovery. She even told me that she already forgave me long ago, and she wishes to hang out with me again. We missed each other.
One cold night, I was out drinking with my friends, when my phone rang. It was my sister. I was laughing at the moment, but my sister was doing the complete opposite. I can hear her sniffle and whimper. She was crying. I asked her what's wrong, and my sister replied, "she's gone".
I felt a wild mix of emotions. I was pissed, sad and terribly depressed. She must've been joking, I said to myself. But unfortunately, my sister was telling the truth. She died, not from the cancer, but due to cardiac arrest during her operation.
It's really depressing because right before the operation, she told me that we should hang out soon enough. She also told me to keep the Pink Guy, Ballads 1, and Chloe Burbank albums and never to delete it. I hoped that things would be better. Fuck.
Our moments began to flashback as I walked back to my apartment. A mix of self-hatred and regret overwhelmed my chest. The rain started to pour, as I fucking screamed and cried at the middle of the park. I was not only depressed, but also suicidal from that point.
My worst regret is not attending her wake. I hated myself and my fucking boss who never gave me the permission. But as far as it is, I just feel depressed and I really want to die. I had several suicide attempts already. Some sent me to the hospital, some in jail, and some in mental wards. I got fired from my old job, and now I'm just a nobody clerk somewhere.
If you're reading this, please take care of your special someone. Please don't screw up like me. Keep safe.
fuckin hell man i hope your life improves that shit is heavy
Holy fuck man,,I wish u the best.It will sound cliche but better things will come
That really hurt to read man. I don’t even know who you are but if you made it this far i am sure you will get out of this situation and feel well again. Nobody deserves to live depressed or suicidal. All the best to you..
Keep moving forward, man. I'm sure she'd want it and I hope you find peace
A 26 year old man tearing up right now. I genuinely wish you the best and hope you find peace.
Back when I was a freshman, when I first found out he made these romantic DIY songs. 2016 was really an era. When he kept his musical talents in the closet, and still uploaded as Frank. When he still hung out with Ian and Max. It was a special time, watching him grow- awaiting an inevitable big-break to fame. Happy to see where he went, just really really miss this sound. All his producers were amazing, especially Shamana.
i was listening to shamana’s album the other day and was blown away, I wish those 2 would make something again
I'd give anything for another video with Max and Ian. Doesn't have to be the crazy shit they used to do, just a video of them altogether again
I felt this hard as Fuck dude
Thought he produced all of his songs?
@@kafka315 he produced MOST, besidju was produced by shamana,
old yeller is so pink guy
yet pink guy made we fall agian and its so joji
long live frank
I'd argue it's more joji topicly.
Long live frank
I think Old Yeller is a pink guy song... like, when he was "working on another pink guy album" I think that's where Old Yeller came from. I mean, 'Misery' is literally the chorus for 'Fried Noodles'. So it makes sense.
@@Pleaseberecylable Old Yeller is Joji in lyrics and theme.
@@blackcatdreams2011 yeah, the entire theme is a dog accepting it's death. The comedy part of it just makes this album so much more human to me.
Chloe Burbank: reminds me of summer, picking flowers with my sweetheart
In Tongues: reminds me of gazing off into the night sky outside my window in a small neighborhood before i fall asleep, crying and depressed
Ballads 1: reminds me of being completely torn apart, with myself laying on the floor as the city lights cast an ambience while i listen to static on the tv
You described 100% what I'm feeling
this is kinda cringe bro
Ok
Ballads 1/ Yeah right...that no signal shot...hits like a brick.every single time.
ThAT dEep
The real ones are still out here waiting for a Vol. 2.
How Many Years
How Many Tears
lmaooo
never happening unfortunately
facts
Or Volume 1. Since this isn’t the real album.
there's nothing in this world that would make me happier than this whole album being on Spotify
Just import it to local files, he couldn’t do it then bc of the samples. And I doubt his new label would let him put it out now
youtube music has the songs so i can now listen to you suck charlie, thom, and unsaved info :)
Ahh the Chloe Burbank era
The era in which I was introduced to indie music by my 2nd crush
The era in which Joji was less trap, less 88rising
The era in which filthyfrank still uploads
And the era where I start searching about who Chloe Burbank was.
Update (4 May 2023): Hi everyone ( *・∀・)ノ Wow, saw the analytics and saw that I posted this comment back in 8 October 2018. It's been so long huh. I don't mean to sound cheesy or cliché with the comment, but thank you for the 7.5k likes. Just wanna express about how much this album meant to me.
I went through high school listening to this masterpiece of a compilation, went through two heartbreaks over two different girls, and now, listening to it while going through my self-development phase (alongside other albums, of course, specifically Alina Baraz & Galimatias's "Urban Flora", Joe Pass's "Virtuoso #2", and Puma Blue's "Swum Baby"). This album helped me expand my musical tastes (and greater thanks to those who've found the samples of Joji's songs here), never thought I'd be a jazz enthusiast and music explorer because of a man who made me, and of course so many more, laugh so much with his shock-comedy, intense slapstick and vile waste of food.
About my heartbreak, I've been recuperating well, in fact it had prompted me to have a moment of contemplation, and pushed me to get out of my comfort zone and have some self-improvement.
I want to thank everyone who've read and replied to my 4 year old comment, and sorry if I never managed to find out who Chloe Burbank is; perhaps we will never know until someone personally asks Joji and posts his answer online. I'm always happy to see that this video will always gain likes and views, happy to know that there are more people with my musical tastes :))
I hope all of you are doing well. Well if you don't feel well, I'd like to share some of what my grandmother taught me (through my mother, and with my words):
If you ever feel down, or feel downed by life, be grateful to God, because I believe God loves you by testing you, and keep doing your best to overcome those hard times. Once you've passed that test, inshallah, you be rewarded with something good, and a bigger test that shall reward you with something much better, so and so. The point is, never give up, always be grateful, because you never know whether your hard times are a hidden blessing. May Allah bless all of you with strength, jazāk-allāhu khayran, salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah.
have you found out who this Chloe is?
Yeah ive never found out about chloe burbank. I googled her but nothing came up
@@maccowproductions so far, ONLY TWO PICTURES OF HER IN THE INTERNET.
she's the girl who doesn't exist. motif for a depression. she represents that toxic girl who you poured your heart for and then weeped for when she rejected you.
well not every girl that rejects you is toxic haha
Old Yeller just hits out of the freaking blue
it was the first dong i ever heard off this album if memory serves
shit maybe it was i dont wanna waste my time
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BACK OF THE SHED
I remember when that song originally dropped, after listening to you suck Charlie on repeat for years and the BAM, the fucking dog died
i memorized all the lyrics
Lmao everyone actiing like Joji switched up after 88rising, like nah, it just less lofi sampling because he couldnt get the rights. He's got a label and its resources, he's gonna use them
He did switch up tho. His songs nowadays dont sound this good
@@SickVapeTricks not necessarily, they just sound very different.
well that’s literally something that changed/switched, the sampling here is gorgeous man
It's actually the opposite, a good portion of this album is samples from other artists, while his In Tongues and Ballads 1 albums were almost entirely, if not completely original content, correct me if I'm wrong.
@Gabu yea but the fact that he doesnf have verses and stuff like that in this album is what makes it good because it leaves you with an after effect of a nice empty feeling, also fuck you mean horribly looped
Joji actually performed You suck charlie during his concert in Denver this year! I listen to Joji every day, his music is practically a part of me. But I had totally forgotten about this album. Rediscovering this mournful magic now is somehow even sweeter knowing where he is on his journey as an artist
💯 I thank pre-88rising Joji, and bigger thanks to those who know of the samples, for encouraging me to expand my musical knowledge, especially in jazz. Never would I know of musicians like McCoy Tyner, Joe Pass, Thelonious Monk and Wes Montgomery had I not been a fan of Filthyfrank/Joji
I also listen to Joji everyday and to be quite honest it's the best parts of my day. There's some real hidden/forgotten gems out there
@@TheDeviIDogg 💯
@@TheDeviIDogg there are a tons of them, once you bump into some hidden gems, you just bless the algorithm...
I also forgot about this album and I deeply regret it because I love it so much definitely one of my favorites
i like joji's newer music but this is something special for me
yeah i really miss his old style but im glad there are still people out there who still keep this kind of music alive ( cough cough Frank Cross cough cough)
@nglspaghetti i looooove nectar
i feel like his old shit had heart to it and it is being diluted

I miss this kind of music so much
Joji was the only artist I know of that made this kind of music so well
I will cherish songs like "Thom" and "You suck charlie forever",
I still really like George as a person
But I cant connect too much to his newer music, which does make me kinda sad
But I should not be sad about it
I'm just glad these amazing songs exist and George is happy in his current state
Damn youre right! :)
I was more of a pink guy fan and the type of music he made but this comment represents how i feel about his new music and everything that came with it

You suck Charlie uses a sample from a Christmas song
@@khaledrehan5397 yep, from the christmas episode of Charlie Brown. The composer made really lovely piano pieces
I like to listen to it when its raining. Like sitting beside the window with headphones on
if the title of this video was "lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to" I wouldn't even question it
I love how many people shares their life stories in these comments. George have a really mixed fanbase. One edgy assholes and the other depressed people that appreciate his art.
@@Handwritinghelp ah, so that explains why all of my normal classmates don't listen to him! lmao
You can feel the depression in his music. Even the new stuff has that vibe still. He's having fun, but you can tell he has or still hurts. We all fucking hurt, but occasionally someone translates that convoluted mess into art we can all understand and appreciate and that's exactly what he did and does
You wanna know why this worked though? His fan base literally being two sided? edge lords and actual fans?
It's because Filthy Frank stuff was always asserted by George that it's just a caricature. I think the way he handled the content and the caricature, and the constant character breaks that show us a more human side of Frank/Pink guy and Joji himself is what I think solidified his fanbase to having two sides.
I say this, because, you probably don't notice or care but, a lot of caricatures don't assert that personality and sentiment about themselves. It's like part of the troll, to troll more than just victims of their troll, but also the fanbase. Which I think is detrimental at times.
Psssssst they're the same people
Somehow I'm both

It kills me to see people who were hardcore FF fans shitting on Joji whether it be in the Chloe Burbank era or the NECTAR era. His music is beautiful all-around and so many people are stuck on his lo-fi, lowkey sound and meme music. The amount of production and the mastery of vocals in his modern stuff is amazing and it's disappointing to see so many of his "fans" shit on his new style.
Yeah
I was a big Filthy Frank fan and thought this album was good back in the day. Still think Chole Burbank and stuff from around this time is great. Even In Tongues is ok. But as it went on his music got more and more diluted. Of course part of it is Nostalgia, listening to this made me sad because it reminded me of older times. I just don't think Joji is as good as he was on this album or in this era in general.
I don't like that style of music thats all man. This albums aight though
it's a opinion :/
ikr nectar gave us some many great track like gimme love,modus,like you do , afterhtought, ew,
777,
Upgrade from Nectar gives off some OG Chloe Burbank Vibes. So cool to hear Joji sticking to roots despite his massive success
yes that's why it's my most listened to Joji track on spotify, a majority of my listens are on soundcloud from that era of Joji of course.
I like this music a lot more than Joji's current music. But I still really like his newer music, but it feels like he's gone more mainstream, which I understand's got to happen, but I don't really like trap that much.
Edit: YO WAIT A FUCKIN MINUTE RAIN ON ME AIN'T HERE
Rain on me was after chloe burbank era, i think after 'i dont wanna waste my time'
No, i think post burbank music happened after rain on me, because the rest of his songs after rain on me is included "in tongues."
I made a documnetary detailing his rise in music. Good response so far but i have no joji fans who are friends... so check it out on my channel if you fancy. Its called Joji the genius you never knew
@@nyandesuka1169 yea agreed
Wouldn't really call it trap but its definitely more mainstream
i don’t know if anyone will even come across this. i wish i could meet joji and let him know we all adore him. 3/29/20- sitting in quarantine with nothing to do but escape from the real world with music. i discovered joji at the ripe age of 7 because my brother would watch him on his channels and this was a time where a lot was going on at home. at the time i didn’t fully understand his humor since i was so young but over the years it’s one thing i treasure deeply. my brother and i would sit in one of our rooms and binge frank’s videos while my parents would be getting violent downstairs. it was his way of distracting me until the police would arrive. now age 14, with the world in a shittier position than i had anticipated, i find myself every single day listening to jojis music. any of it. and as much as everyone misses frank, if you actually support him, you’d appreciate the work passion and dedication he puts into his music and career. and if he doesn’t want his past brought up, we should all respect that. seeing george’s development as a human being sheds a new light on his music and the emotion he puts into it. for 7 years now, joji has been an escape from society for me. the first thing i do when i’m feeling anxious or upset: listen to joji. the music that plays in my ears for the majority of the school day while i have to see bullshit people: joji. i’m a pretty lonely person with no real friends, so i have a lot of time invested in music. but i truly connect with jojis art. not only does he has an awesome personality, he is hella attractive and i hope he realizes. i really should be doing in online school work now while i’m stuck in the house for who knows how long. we all love u joji please never stop making me smile:)
Edit: Chloe Burbank is the perfect album to listen to while rain is pouring and the lighting lights up your dark bedroom to reveal your cat snuggled up against you afraid of the thunder, then you let yourself detach from the world
Olivia Perkins same i discovered joji when i was like 12 from filthy frank and like did so much research on his music and like i grew up with him and he pretty much was on the lofi hip hop wave before anyone else
man, i'm scrollling through here after "gimme love," and...
hm.
never have i felt more at home.
p.s.
i'd love to become friends with all of you people, what a heartfilling thing that'd be.
damn man, felt like I was reading my own early puberty, except more lonely. I first watched frank when I was 12-13, but only months ago I realized his genius, understood the humor behind his videos, got deep in the lore and became open minded to all kinds of music, discovering this piece rn. It's weird, Joji is a great person with lots of passions, I truly respect him.
respect
I feel the same...but Chloe Burbank is above anything he does now. This is the real joji.
Parts of Chloe Burbank are far better than ballads 1
OcceanMan honestly he released the best tracks before the album even came out, “slow dancing in the dark”, “can’t get over you”, and “wanted u” are my favorites
KirbyKip251 I agree that he released all the best music before ballads dropped, I mean some cool sounds came out of ballads 1 and interesting prod. So I think if you took parts of ballads 1 and Chloe Burbank you’d get something really good
OcceanMan It's practice to drop the best songs as singles before the album
I think "slow dancing in the dark" is his best track yet, lyrically, artistically and instrumentally and is really a step forward in terms of his sound though that may just boil down to taste.
@@alexishernandez__ dont forget yeah right
Six! Seven! Fucking years! '15-'17 was the best time of my life, and this along with several other lo-fi based playlists were crucial in the creation of those beautiful memories.
Now that life just seems to get darker for every year that passes by, thank you Joji, Frank, for the good times. I'm glad I caught onto you. I will never repeat those days again.
Same man, the best times
I was just chillin, being nostalgic. But, then medicine came on and the tears just started flowing. That song got me through a lot of rough times
I miss this, listening to this really brings me back, flashing memories through my mind. Just like looking through an old photo book. I can’t explain the way George (joji) makes me feel, but it’s a good feeling. Even though he doesn’t know me I feel really connected to the artist which is really crazy to say
7 years ago, oh how time marches. These really were the sounds of my teenage youth, feeling freshly away from yet so far. Far also from whatever futures still ahead
me too fam me 2
19 now time flies
Just discovered this in 2022 and I'm just... speechless. Wish Joji can come back to doing this style of music that's all him. This is now gonna be my favorite playlist.
You just discovered this 15 hours ago? I wish I was you, then I’d be able to cry to this again.
i was listening to this before he became super huge in the music industry. Glad people are still finding this masterpiece of an album

I hate it when people hate on his new music which he works hard to showcase his vocals without them being overshadowed by melody just because it was with 88 rising. He can switch it up if he likes. In the end his fans really should be supporting him . yall are just bored .lol
It not that he switched it's that his music it's just bootleg The Weeknd, this was more original, y'all just stupid lol

I used to listen to this whole album in 2017, when I first left for college. Suddenly thought about it today. I remember listening to these tracks over and over and over again, literally nonstop while I walked around a new city, taking trains, busses, to look at buildings and walk around parks by myself. Crazy how much it's taking me back.
hearing medicine again makes me cry istg 😭
Unpopular opinion in this comment section: I prefer Joji's music now than this.
I love both, but if I have to choose, I'm going with the music he's making now. Sure, they aren't all bangers, but they're so much more experimental than his lofi phase, and the experimentation is paying off. A lot of his stuff still isn't trap like some of y'all are claiming, idk why you think he's only releasing trap??
He's progressing more and more as an artist and I think that's awesome. These tracks are strictly tracks that you can really only relax to/have them in the background; focus completely on them and you'll get bored (though there are about 3 trap tracks here).
His songs are slowly becoming songs that you can actually sit down and listen to on their own (Slow Dancing in the Dark, No Fun, and Can't Get Over You) because of that style change.
I'm happy to see him grow, unlike a lot of people here who only like his lofi.
I hope he keeps it up and gets more comfortable in his style, whatever it may be, as an artist. I really would love to hear some more bangers out of him (looking at you, Slow Dancing in the Dark).
I like your take on Joji's music. You consider his newer stuff to be more "experimental" but I found it to be around equivalent in the realm of experimental material. I consider Joji's new stuff to be the material found on "In Tongues" and "BALLADS 1". and I can see the effort of him trying to experiment with vocal ranges, aesthetics, and essentially 'breaking out of his shell' and becoming less timid with the way he portrays himself as Joji. His newer stuff has all types of growth, it's pretty much testing out what does or doesn't work. But that's the thing, although it's nice to see him grow and develop as a musician (like he started off rapping about depraved things on youtube). It doesn't offer much for what in my opinion is 'good music'. When he hits, he really hits. Here are some examples:
Slow Dancing in the Dark - A masterpiece of Joji, the synths felt nostalgic yet displayed futuristic and modern audio, the structure of the song seems to flow well, and the mumble of his verse to the shouting of his chorus is just so amazing. It's like seeing all of his potential in his song. I believe that song is probably his best.
CAN'T GET OVER YOU - It's a cute song that can be bopped over and over. It's simplistic, it's fun, it's cute, and overall just cheery and practically the opposite of most of Joji's newer material.
yeah right - A song where the slobbery, slow, and mumbling voice benefits the song. It's vibe really match up with the whole theme of the song, being about partying your life away because of heartbreak. Although critiqued for being one of Joji's more boring songs, I think the effort that went into this (the grainy/nostalgic production, joji getting chubby for the music video, the mumble vocals, and overall song) is just a solid song.
Those are examples where I would consider Joji hits. When he misses in a song, he also misses hard. Test Drive was very boring and underwhelming, and the vocals sounded very weird, and kind of creates a bit of a disconnect with me and the song. Not to mention, it sounds like a Post Malone B-side or fan cover, and the vibe just sounds like it was a cash grab single. This also is a controversial thing to say, but the In Tongues EP was just boring. I felt like I wanted to go to sleep from the boredom of the music, not because it was successfully dreamy.
That was just on experimenting.
Joji was a pioneer of lo-fi, and incorporating R&B and chillhop elements into it. He may not have been the very first to have the idea of lo-fi, but when compared to the generic sadboi tracks, he's extremely good. Even though the tracks of lo-fi are just meant to be background and not much paid attention to, I usually find myself singing or enjoying the melody on my own. But, I will be fair, because some of the newer singles Joji has dropped have been memorable lyrical miracles (hah, reference.)
Joji's old stuff wasn't focusing on lyricism. That might sound bad, but, the beat is kind of the lead of melody, whilst the lyrics just strengthens that bond of vocal melody and the sound of the song. Joji's new stuff has some pretty garbage lyrics if I were to be completely honest. For proof, just interpret your own meaning for his newer songs, and then watch the genius explanations, there isn't much to be had. And if that's bad enough, there's pink guy lyrics deeper than that. Pink Guy's McDonalds rap brings a melancholy piano beat, and raps about the globalization and how the masses are dumbed down to the point where they willingly sacrifice their money, health, and morals for some "heaps of internal shitty meat". Rice Balls is another example of fine lyricism, it's just a freestyle calling out his fans for suddenly wanting joji after rejecting it, and shoehorning some standard pink guy shenanigans.
Another thing I'd like to discuss is his voice. Although it's starting to get better recently, Joji still tends to mumble his way through songs (although it's nowhere near as bad as somebody like Lil Xan). He lacks falsettos, adlibs, and that Joji style I fell in love with. Even the more inaudible vocal performances on his soundcloud days still beat most of the stuff from In Tongues.
I think your opinion is good, what you've brought to the table was positive and elaborate. What might not work for me works for you, and that's cool. It's just a case of differing tastes. Although I think Joji's highs nowadays are amazing, his soundcloud days had consistency and was a pioneer for an entire genre. But that's just what I think. You may have the opposite feelings. If you read this, thank you for getting to hear my opinion, and I hope you have a good day.
P.S. I know World$tar Money was on In Tongues, it's role as an interlude wasn't executed well though.
apologies for the word wall lol, I just wanted a bit of a discussion
People will never stop overpraising lo-fi because of its nostalgic sound and eerie vibe the genre generally has, makes them ignore that most lo-fi tracks are very low effort, bland, repetitive, and just overall bad. Bet a grand they wont like "lo-fi" music if it has no low fidelity/retro filter and just a hq piano with beat, 100%. The only lo-fi I can accept is Nujabes and producers in his circle. The rest are just Nujabes wannabes and hippie beatmakers.
[everyone disliked that.]
U DuMb??
After listening to this and Run, I cannot believe how far he's come. I will always love this album, but you can tell even in BALLADS 1 that he knew what he was doing and loving it
I agree, but I think that the Nectar felt a little bit more soulless, as much as I love joji, I didn't think he had as much fun on Nectar.
this whole album helping me get through life. Joji.
Thom and Good Luck Charlie were the first songs I heard of his as Joji. They always gave me a warm, comforting feeling, and still do.
I don't connect with his newer music as much. Other tracks like worldstar and besidju I had on repeat a lot as well. Sophomore/Junior years of high school. Walking around thinking about what I wanted to be doing.
Kind of sad that it's a lost era but I'm glad the music is still here for us to come back and listen to. Even though it was only a few years ago I have a weird nostalgia of scrolling through his SoundCloud and being excited to see a new track uploaded during this era.
Once songs like slow dancing in the dark blew up along with the transition to 88rising, a new era was clearly cemented. I'm happy he's on a great path nowadays but there's always a side of me that wishes he indulged in this kind of sound a bit longer. No way it would last forever, though. I guess that's why we're all here in this comment section.
this is an absolute gem, genius work
Middle school, autistic and just had a sort of "reality snap". I was always sad and scared shitless, trying to understand people and new emotions. Music like Chloe Burbank carried my soul. I'm forever grateful that this existed during one of the biggest struggles in my life.
I used to hear this every day at 15, but now I'm in a better place
Thank Joji for helping me during tough times :)
i think this mightve been the album that forever changed my taste in music
I don’t hate his newer stuff but I really prefer this
Its so sad this was never released it would have been amazing. Anyways nice version my man
I think it was just cause they legally couldn't use some of the samples.
I think it was once on Spotify. Saw a playlist with unplayable joji songs like thom and such. It's a shame
Nice pf picture
You know what else is sad? The fact that you don't have an 2016 ford focus ST like I
@@TheWaffleBomb weird flex but ok
prob listened to this video alone like 20000 times considering its been daily for 6 years almost
Why so 2016, was.. What, like 4 years from now, and it seemed like a shit year, but at the end of the day, it wasn't bad after all.. I remember how Frank made me laugh, and Joji made me cry. Now I revist this album ones in a while, and I feel how much happier I was back then.
Is it just a part of growing up, or the world around me is indeed gets progressively more depressing and disturbing 😔?
idek tbh
yeah, and it just stings to write out... that pure fear of "is it only going to go downhill from here?"
this is perfect for a rainy evening at home, reading an art book as i sip my favourite tea
yes
R getting drunk and high

If you know you know
As much as I love _BALLADS 1,_ this is a side of Joji I never got to see. I wasn't really into Joji until 2018, so I unfortunately missed _Chloe Burbank_ when it was coming out. But holy crud am I glad you uploaded it here. I've been going through and finding lost Joji songs and I'm loving them all. _In Chains_ is such a good album, I wish he'd stuck with that sound. But he's releasing a new song tomorrow, and I think it's going to be good.
Narrator: it was good
I honestly loved the whole transition and tug-of-war between pink guy and joji/frank...
It felt sad while it also laughed at sadness' face which in turn made the sadness feel pathetic and hopeless... It was such a great era of his work as an artist...
I absolutely loved the political incorrectness of pink guy and how it clashed with his own vulnerability, creating a self aware and self loathing monster
And then to see him redeemed with "monster" too ✨🤌🏻✨ *rat chef's kiss*
All his journey is honestly such an experience, I'm so glad I got to experience the whole thing while it occurred 👌🏻👌🏻
Also, I think you're talking about sanctuary... Aren't you?
If so, it absolutely was... Imo one of the best songs he's composed/sung
(Also, I can't help but notice slight homo romantic undertones in the song too, the character referencing spock very much helps that narrative)
This isn't an official release, just a fanmade compilation of random leaks. Thom and You Suck Charlie were the original two leaks from the alleged Chloe Burbank project from back around 2016 before he was doing things under Joji.
@@jedisponge16yeah, some of these tracks here came out of some old joji vlogs
Ha, I remember I have a loop of unsaved info and used to cry to it all the time. I'm in a better place now with a different mindset, still working towards a better me but it's nice to look back then now and again.
This unofficial album was really slapping. Crazy it's been 5 years. Proud to see him get as far as he did. Internet has helped a lot of people get big.
It give me goosebumps on how time REALLY flies, when this came out.
Just laying here liking joji for joji
Also CB is one big aesthetic jesus
Eyyy Hamilton fan nice to find you here
@@zestu5225 Damn boi!
SoundCloud joji was best joji
危机主 Weiji Zhu If u love his old stuff you should check out „Frank Cross“
oh my GOD this is AMAZING. WHY DO THE TRACKS FLOW BETTER THAN A LOT OF MODERN ALBUMS, THIS IS JUST ASSEMBLED SONGS BUT IT WORKS SO WELL AS AN ALBUM
I’ve been listening to this album since 2012. I give it my full attention at least every 6 months and still get the same feelings every time. It’s so so good.
I come back here from time to time and reminisce.
i really believe this is as close to the official release as we'll ever get. its the definitive compilation.
I'm glad youtube recommended this to me again, its been too long. Its like finding an old friend
In the intro part Joji said this Japanese sentence "そういう感じで" which means "It sounds something like this", his voice when he speaks Japanese is so sexy T_____T
そ う い う 感 じ で no significa ' con sentido del humor ' ?
God this was nostalgic listening to all these songs again. Takes me back to first year Uni just chilling in my dorm depressed. In hindsight sucks to be depressed but something about those days were amazing, maybe it was my lack responsibilities.
sinto falta dessa essência, a qualidade acústica das musicas de joji melhoraram num nível absurdo mas por algum motivo sinto saudade desse tempo. A musica era 100% feita por ele, do toques ao vocal era 100% ele, isso me trás um sentimento de sinceridade e simplicidade... joji
it's so nice to be able to listen to his old music, i absolutely love his newer songs but they will never beat his old indie music
The transition between each song is just so smooth
Best and realest joji album
If you're 12
I was obsessed with Joji at the end of 2021. Sepetember 2021- January 2022. This was all i'd listen to. Every once in a while I have to come back, his music is just too good. He actually influenced me to make my own music.
heres the download for these songs:
archive.org/details/JojiChloeBurbankVol.1
^_^
This stuff is absolutely beautiful. His new stuff is just so... clean and mainstream. I hope one day he visits his roots. This sound is so unique. My favorite Joji project, almost one of my favorites albums.
I discovered this album 5 years ago in the summer before 9th grade. I was a huge fan of Filthy Frank and this showed me such a sensitive side of him. It felt like discovering some secret side of someone that refused to come out. I always kept wondering, 'who hurt you?'
I was so obsessed with Joji as a person and although I can't really say I enjoy his music all that much after this, I'm really happy for him and finally doing what he loves. I'm in university now and I'm coming back to this album. It's funny how we all grow sometimes.
Strange how people have similar experiences, Burbank era joji was the sound of my high school too ⚔️
omg me tooo!!!!
Damn this is my fav version of Chloe Burbank it just flows the best and no unnecessary tracks, does not overstay its welcome, perfect placements of interludes; it also fits a vibe and a e s t h e t i c, as well as graining up the album cover like an old television screen, really adds to the project's lofi backdrop.
If only joji officially released Chloe Burbank :/ but this channel is the GOAT for stitching all these songs together.
This needs to be on Spotify fr
Back in 2015-16 it was music that really touched me and I felt something while listening.
Nowadays I hear this and I feel the nostalgia and be happy that this sad times are over.
At the moment I am kinda binging the old Joji Music, I hear it while playing games, thinking and go to nap, like I did it 5 years ago.
Thanks for the Upload King
That was a bunch of nonsense.
Did you go to elementary school?
@@Riley_HawkinsOSRS english isnt my native language.
lex thank you for posting this ive came back to this for many years and i wanted to thank you for
this little mixtape will always have a place in my heart, i always find myself coming back here when i’m hurting or just wanting to hear the rainy day lofi beats out this mixtape being named chloe burbank makes me sad in a way. me and my ex broke up around 6 months ago and i definitely was the one who took it the hardest. her name was chloe, sad coincidence. these songs hit hard i find myself crying to these. thank you chloe burbank
Joji reminds me of my high school days...so nostalgic when listening to it again
This album is so underated i love listening to this when I’m studying.
[][][][][][].MIND CHECKING out this chill af song -> TIME BY THE IMPURES "
-_-_______-_____-_-------___][][][][][][][][][][][
I don't know why but I feel New York in this album so much, it's crazy.
Totally agree. Pretty sure Joji produced most (if not all) of this while he was studying in NY, so makes sense.
Declan McGhee Yeah, good on him for being able to put his audience in a distinguished setting to where I can feel physically there. Didn’t know how much was actually filmed there I’m just basing it off filthy frank timeline
eliana colon yeah. i love the lyrics that really give you a clear setting like in Thom when he says “I take the D-train to go to BK.” stuff like that that really gives you environment and grit.
Declan McGhee the real question is are you subscribed to pewdiepie
i'm always coming back to this, thank you
Don't care what music the lad makes. Just glad I can tag along for the journey. Dude has a cool background.
There's so many people saying that his old music is better than the nower ones. Imo, he has been improving so much since In Tongues, and Ballads 1 its just a m a z i n g. Its not just a simple lofi sound anymore (like this and In Tongues, even tho i completely LOVE chloe burbank), its really well produced, you can really see his talent and skills. Its not a boring and kind of repetitive album like In Tongues, its almost an experience. The first time i listened to it, it was fun, i felt excited, happy but with sad vibes (if that makes sense). I was really into it and it was overall a great experience... untill R.I.P camed and trippie red ruined it jskskjf
I get it, everybody has different likes and opinions, even more when it comes to music, but i think George deserves more credit for his improvement and how him and his music changed for good.
//also, sorry if i spelled anything wrong, english is not my native lenguage oof//
Ballads1 doesnt have the appartment room aesthetic, but it shows that his music is really matured up, Id appreciate that he make a song that has the chloe burban aesthetic
The thing I like about this era of joji is how it isn't "well" produced. You can tell it's just a guy with garage band sampling some jazz and singing over it. It feels so cozy and intimate, while his 88rising stuff feels too over produced and cliché to me. To be honest, I can't really get into any of the songs on In Tongues and Ballads 1 at all. It feels like he's going into a more typical pop direction, which I'm really not into
Imo Nectar is gonna be the best thing Joji is gonna put out, I mean shit the first 3 singles were really good and really shows what joji can do as an artist
Love the aesthetic of this album so much
i really hope joji puts in some new albums some more old musics like these
just like he did with plastic taste, worldstar money and i don't wanna waste your time
I both really enjoy and respect what joji is making these days, but Chloe Burbank is so special that I don't think anything has or ever will strike this kind of vibe again. I almost prefer it that way too; it makes listening to this album even more special ☺️
I graduate university next year - this takes me all the way back to sophomore year in high school. Those days had the sunniest and rainiest days I can remember. This unreleased album was so transformative for me - it inspires both emotion and hope for the future. Words can't really describe it, but this album immediately triggers so many memories that are melancholic now. Shoutout joji
I get lazy airport jazz vibes from this.
I get the vibe that you don't own a Ford Focus ST. Pretty sad. I personally own a brand new 2016 focus ST
MoejoH?
@@TheWaffleBomb I KNOW RIGHT? These absolute losers not owning a Ford Focus ST, couldn't be me: a Ford Focus ST owner.
My comfort album... I'm back once again
I miss you 🐢
