Canadian actor-musician Joe Keery, under his moniker Djo, has unveiled “Gap Tooth Smile,” a standout single from his freshly released third album, The Crux. Known for Stranger Things, Keery continues to carve his musical niche, with this track spotlighting his shift to a raw, retro-pop sound. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios, “Gap Tooth Smile” bursts with ‘70s-inspired guitar riffs and a playful energy that’s already turning heads.
The song is a quirky ode to individuality, blending Djo’s clear vocals with lyrics celebrating imperfections—like the titular gap-toothed grin. It’s a lighter moment on The Crux, contrasting the album’s deeper cuts, yet it carries Keery’s signature introspection. Fans on X are buzzing about its catchy hook and how it captures Djo’s knack for fusing nostalgia with personal charm.
Following “End of Beginning”’s viral fame, “Gap Tooth Smile” cements Djo’s evolution as a serious artist. Released via AWAL, it’s a teaser of his upcoming global tour, including Coachella. This single proves Keery’s not just riding his acting wave—he’s crafting a sound that’s uniquely his own.
