Canadian actor-musician Joe Keery, under his moniker Djo, has unleashed “Crux,” a captivating single from his newly released third album, The Crux. Known for Stranger Things, Keery trades synths for a raw, guitar-led sound, channeling a retro ‘60s pop vibe. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios, “Crux” emerges as a centerpiece, blending nostalgia with a modern edge that’s already turning heads.
The track “Crux” dives into introspective territory, with Keery’s clear vocals exploring themes of self-reflection and resilience. Its jangly riffs and warm production evoke a timeless feel, distinct from Djo’s earlier work like “End of Beginning.” Fans on X are buzzing about its emotional pull and replayability, cementing it as a fan favorite from the album’s diverse tracklist.
Following his viral success, “Crux” arrives as Djo gears up for a global tour, including Coachella. Released via AWAL, the single showcases Keery’s growth, proving his musical chops rival his acting fame. Expect “Crux” to dominate indie playlists with its heartfelt swagger.
