Ballads 1 (stylized in all caps) is the debut studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Joji. It follows the In Tongues EP, his first project as Joji, and Pink Season, his only album released under the now-retired alter-ego Pink Guy. It was released on 26 October 2018 through 88rising Records and 12Tone Music.[1] The album debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 as well as number one on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Composition and writing

Ballads 1 is primarily produced by Joji himself[2] and features only one vocal feature, with Trippie Redd appearing on "R.I.P"[3] though features production features from names such as Clams Casino, D33J and Shlohmo. The project is introspective, writing about the "reality of love, life and everything in between."[4] The project ranges from songs that are "heart-wretching" and sometimes more cheerful to capture the feeling that "no one's sad all the time".[5]

The focus of the project is ballads, according to Joji;[4] and in an interview with Annie Mac said that he was trying to make the project full of ballads that are different in their "own special way"[6] and that are powerful, set a new direction but keep "Joji roots" he established on In Tongues.[5]

Joji stated in an interview with Triple J how he wanted to take a more pop-oriented approach to his style on the album, which began with the single "Yeah Right".[7]

Release and promotion

Ballads 1 was announced on 12 September 2018 alongside the release of the album's second single "Slow Dancing in the Dark".[8] An accompanying music video directed by Jared Hogan was released the same day.[9] The lead single, "Yeah Right" had been released on 8 May 2018.[10] It was released with a music video and was produced by Joji.[11]

"Can't Get Over You" was released on 2 October 2018 with an accompanying video directed by Miller and SAINT.[12] The album's release date, cover artwork and track listing were revealed the same day.

"Test Drive" was released on 16 October 2018 with an accompanying video directed by James Defina.[13]

| rev2score = {{rating|3|5}}[16]
| rev3 = Highsnobiety

}}

Braudie Blais-Billie from Pitchfork stated "Joji's first full-length project features a host of guests in a quality effort to help push past the confines of his bedroom walls and tedious heartache", going onto write "The ballad is a great mode for Joji. It retains the tormented intimacy of his music while elevating his approach to a more radio-friendly consistency than the runny compositions of In Tongues", giving the album a 6.7/10.[18] Elias Leight from Rolling Stone gave the project 3 out of 5 stars, complimenting the progression from the In Tongues EP, the change of musical style throughout the project and the ability to produce "a particular kind of self-deprecating pop."[19]

Rap and R&B blogs, the two genres which are the primary demographic of Miller,[20] gave the project positive reviews. Highsnobiety gave the project 3/5 stars, calling it a "near-classic" with "on-point production" and complimenting Miller's progression.[21] HotNewHipHop gave the project a "Very Hot" rating calling the project "smooth."[22] RIFF Magazine complimented Miller's attempt to expand on his potential and spoke on its "array of soundscapes."[23]
