Canadian actor-musician Joe Keery, under his alias Djo, has unveiled “Egg,” a captivating song from his newly released third album, The Crux. Known for his Stranger Things fame, Keery continues to carve a unique path in music, with “Egg” showcasing his shift from synth-driven sounds to a richer, guitar-led style. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios, the track blends late ‘60s pop influences with Djo’s signature emotional depth, making it a highlight of the album.
“Egg” unfolds as a quirky yet introspective piece, its lyrics cracking open themes of vulnerability and self-reflection. Keery’s clear vocals dance over a warm, retro instrumental, evoking a sense of nostalgia while feeling distinctly modern. Fans on X are buzzing about its playful title and heartfelt delivery, noting it as a perfect encapsulation of The Crux’s cinematic, storytelling vibe.
Following the viral triumph of “End of Beginning,” “Egg” solidifies Djo’s evolution as an artist unafraid to experiment. Released via AWAL, the song ties into the album’s hotel-inspired concept, casting listeners as transient guests in Keery’s sonic world. With a global tour underway, including a Coachella stop, “Egg” is poised to scramble expectations and cement Djo’s indie-pop legacy.
