Djo, the musical project of actor, producer, and songwriter Joe Keery known for his work in blockbuster projects such as ‘Stranger Things’ and ‘Fargo’, unveils yet another glimpse of his forthcoming album with the release of “Delete Ya”, out now via AWAL Recordings. This track is part of his highly anticipated new album, ‘The Crux’, slated for release on April 4th.
“Delete Ya” features rich instrumentation that evoke the spirit of past pop classics. With witty lyrics and an upbeat, catchy melody, the track carries a warm, feel-good energy with a nostalgic sound that feels both familiar and comforting.
Co-produced by Keery and his long-time collaborator, Adam Thein, Djo’s upcoming album ‘The Crux‘ spotlights lush guitars and instrumentation reminiscent of late 60’s and 70’s pop—a departure from his previous albums, which were bedroom recordings centered around synths. It’s an album full of loss and yearning, but also one full of wit and gratitude.
Djo had a massive 2024 with his hit song “End of Beginning” taking off worldwide, where after climbing to #1 on the Global Spotify chart it was the #6 most streamed song in the world in 2024—with 1.5 BILLION streams and over 60 BILLION TikTok views. The song had landed on official single charts in 41 countries, while racking up multiple Platinum and Gold records in 17 territories.
In Asia, “End of Beginning” has reached #1 on the official single chart and Spotify chart in Indonesia, topped the Spotify Viral and Shazam charts in Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore, and was #9 on the Top 10 TikTok songs of 2024 in Indonesia. With over 2 BILLION career streams and over 9.5 MILLION monthly listeners from Asia, Djo has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the region, with #2 Indonesia, #5 Malaysia, and #6 Philippines in his top global streaming markets.
Djo recently wrapped up a successful run at Laneway Festival in Australia and New Zealand and is set to continue his 2025 global tour in April, kicking off on album release day. The tour will feature Post Animal as support and includes his highly anticipated debut at the globally acclaimed Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival.
