He was not the first Asian soloist to debut in the top 10. Psy did it with “gentleman” and recently before him Olivia Rodrigo with a string of hits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:2001:8A30:681D:6D40:4038:3516 (talk) 03:04, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question on "Asian Soloist"

[edit]

The first paragraph's line "The song became Asian Soloist most successful hit single to date..." is a bit unclear. Does it mean Joji's most successful hit single to date (as in "the Asian soloist's"), or the most successful single of any Asian soloist? Thanks everyone :^) MrsAbedNadir (talk) 16:39, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Writer references, and such related informations, such as those from the writer of this song - https://www.instagram.com/p/CtUpeRFxgRf/?hl=en From the post: June 10th. Two of the most pivotal moments of my life have happened on this date. June 10, 2016. - we lost a very dear friend, Christina Grimmie. I never could have prepared for the effects this night would have on my life. Being that the tragedy of losing Christina happened at our own show near where I grew up, this was very close to home both literally and figuratively. It took years of strong friendships and rebuilding to feel like a functioning human again, but it is something that will live with me forever. There were many different waves of real depression unlike I had ever known before that night. In times of sadness, my way of healing has always been writing songs. June 14, 2019 - a few days after the 3 year anniversary of losing Christina, I was really struggling at this time and life just didn’t make sense. On this day, there’s a voice memo I made of a song calling out to God where I asked “If I could only catch a glimpse of you”. 6 months later, Dec 16, 2019 - I had a last minute writing session on a rainy Sunday with @connormcdonough, @i_am_castle_, and @idarosemusic. Many times in sessions I will just scroll the titles of my voice memos to see if anything jumps out. This day I saw the voice memo labeled ‘Glimpse’ and said “I love the word glimpse for something” and an entirely new idea was born. The song ‘Glimpse of Us’ was created that day. It wasn’t until two years later, Joji heard the song and after some changes, the final version was made. June 10, 2022 - ‘Glimpse of Us’ was released to the world and went on to become the most successful song of our career as well as our first extremely notable work as songwriters. It wasn’t until recently that I remembered what was said in that initial voice memo those years ago. Calling out for some bit of a sign. I now see that what I got back was tenfold to what I could have ever imagined. I write this to say that you never truly know the beauty that is constantly forming from the pain. Our hurt is never wasted. This is why I will forever pour my heart into everything I ever make. Sending only love. Thank you for listening. SGpro123 (talk) 07:27, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
