Joël shares, "I gotta lotta new music I wanna share this year, and lots of moments that I’ll never forget. I hope this song connects. Every time I listen to it, it takes me right back to that place and time and all the feelings.”
Co-produced by Joël’s long-time collaborator Colin Monroe (Drake, Kendrick Lamar) and producers Aidan Garrett Rodriguez (Lucky Daye, Remi Wolf) and M-Phazes (Jennifer Lopez, Marc. E Bassy), the guitar-led, RandB-infused track details the sad aftermath of a one-sided relationship and moving on after multiple attempts at trying to make it work. Joël’s lyricism and vocals deliver an emotional punch as he sings, “I gave you my time, for the millionth time. Save all the chat, I moved on I’m done trying. Girl, I don’t feel bad. I'm not finna give you this love. I should do you how you did me, but I ain’t tryna waste another millionth.”
After establishing himself as an artist to watch with the release of his debut album GRUNGE GOSPEL in 2020, Joël garnered praise for his unique blend of experimental RandB and powerful vocal abilities. His musical style beautifully intertwines gospel influences from his upbringing as a pastor’s son with a nostalgic nod to 90’s era-rock, drawing inspiration from bands like Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins. Taking a step back to refine his artistic vision for his next project, Joël released "Thinking About You" in 2023 and now “Millionth Time”, both tracks are an enticing preview of what's to come on his highly anticipated EP, due for release on February 9.
