Djo Shares New Single ‘Delete Ya’

by | Feb 27, 2025

Djo –  the musical project of actor / producer / songwriter Joe Keery known for his work in blockbuster projects as Stranger Things and Fargo – recently announced his highly anticipated new album The Crux, out on 4th April. He has shared another taste of the forthcoming record with Delete Ya. The new single was featured as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record In The World this week, and arrives just ahead of this weekend’s BRIT Awards at which he is nominated for International Song of The Year.

Djo had a massive 2024 with the viral hit End of Beginning, and 2025 is shaping up to be even bigger. The Crux’s lead single Basic Being Basic quickly landed on the BBC Radio 1 playlist, and has climbed the US Alternative Radio charts to #15, after Djo performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he was also the couch guest.

Additionally, Djo just wrapped an incredible run in Australia and New Zealand for Laneway Festival, and continues his major 2025 global tour in April. The Djo – Back On You Tour, which sold-out *instantly* in North America and saw new dates added and venue upgrades in the UK, will feature Post Animal as support on all North American, UK and EU tour dates. The tour kicks off in the U.S. on 4th April, album release day, and includes Djo’s debut at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, plus festival plays at Best Kept Secret Festival, Hurricane Festival and Southside Festival, with more to be announced soon. Remaining tickets can be found HERE.

The Crux was co-produced by Keery and his long-time collaborator Adam Thein. It’s an album of impeccable craftsmanship. Unlike Keery’s previous albums – bedroom recordings centred around synths – The Crux spotlights lush guitars and instrumentation reminiscent of late ’60s and ’70s pop. It’s an album full of loss and yearning, but also one full of wit and gratitude. The album was written all over the world in a particularly fertile period for Keery – where he was grappling with the transience of his other job, being untethered and away from his friends and family. But to make the album he settled into the legendary Electric Lady Studios in his adopted home of New York City. The Crux not only showcases his ambitious scope, but also his skills as a deft multi-instrumentalist and songwriter (all songs were written by Keery or in collaboration with Adam Thein).

What begins as a meditation on the dissolution of a relationship winds its way back to self-resilience, and a celebration and recognition of the importance of nurturing community. These themes are reflected in both his lyrics and in the collaborative spirit of the music, with contributions from his family and lifelong friends lending the album a warm energy mirroring the bonds at the record’s core. Although the songs are rich with specificity, the album plays like a movie soundtrack, where the listener can easily align with a character, situation, or emotion. And this is, in part, how Keery frames the album’s concept through its art – a collaboration with Neil Krug – as a hotel where all of its guests are transient, and at a spiritual or emotional crossroads.
