LISTEN HERE
January 3, 2022 - One of the biggest names in dance music, Bonobo (aka Simon Green) has shared the final preview of his anticipated new album Fragments (Ninja Tune) before it is released next Friday, January 14. “From You” features Joji and follows a string of widely celebrated singles that showcase the album’s depth and fascinating array of collaborators, including “Tides” with Jamila Woods and “Shadows” with Jordan Rakei among others. Born first out of fragments of ideas and experimentation in his Los Angeles studio in 2020 and 2021, the album ultimately was fused together in a burst of creativity fueled by both collaboration and Green’s escape into the wild. Fragments is the sound of struggle and isolation, personally and collectively - and of surging, joyous return.

Joji has been deemed the “first music superstar of his kind” (Office Magazine) and his 2020 album Nectar debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 as well as #1 on Spotify’s US Weekly Top 50 Albums chart. On “From You” he taps into a beautiful melancholy, singing over the ballad’s dense textures to create a sense of release, of going with the flow and freedom. It's about the dance floor in many ways. Reflecting on the song, Green says: “I remembered all over again how much I loved crowds and movement and people connecting with each other.”
