"Djo Nominated for International Song of The Year"
Exciting news in the music world! Djo, a multi-talented project led by actor and songwriter Joe Keery, has received a BRIT Award nomination for International Song of the Year, a testament to his rising influence in the industry. Known for his roles in iconic shows like “Stranger Things,” Keery is proving that his musical prowess is equally impressive.
Djo is gearing up for the release of his much-anticipated new album, “The Crux,” which is set to drop on April 4th. To give fans a taste of what’s to come, he recently shared the new single “Potion.” With its acoustic vibes and thoughtful lyrics, “Potion” showcases a different dimension of Djo’s sound, a far cry from the previously released hits “Basic Being Basic” and “Delete Ya.” Keery describes “Potion” as familiar and comforting, akin to a favorite pair of blue jeans, emphasizing its personal and acoustic elements.
The creation of “The Crux” marks a significant evolution for Keery, moving away from bedroom recordings focused on synths to lush instrumentation and intricate guitar work reminiscent of classic 60s and 70s pop. The album’s narratives delve into themes of loss and self-resilience while celebrating the importance of community, drawing inspiration from his experiences during a transformative phase in his life.
With a sold-out UK headline tour lined up for June, including a three-night residency at the O2 Kentish Town Forum and performances at major festivals like Glastonbury and Coachella, Djo is ready to take his electrifying live show to audiences around the globe. His recent appearances include standout performances on major late-night shows, further solidifying his status on the live circuit.
2024 has already been significant for Djo, with the viral hit “End of Beginning” not only topping charts worldwide but also racking up an astonishing 1.5 billion streams on Spotify and over 60 billion views on TikTok. This success has helped place Keery in the limelight for his remarkable contributions to both music and entertainment.
In addition to his solo work, Djo continues to collaborate with other artists, showcasing a spirit of unity and creativity. Keery’s musical journey began in his teenage years, and since then, he has honed his craft, transitioning from band member to full-fledged artist capable of producing heartfelt, polished records.
Fans are eagerly encouraged to pre-order “The Crux” and listen to “Potion” across streaming platforms. With its official release just around the corner, excitement is building for what’s sure to be another defining chapter in Djo’s evolving story. As he combines his artistic flair with impressive themes of authenticity and connection, the music world eagerly watches Djo soar.
