On the opening track of STARS, Joey Meland encapsulates the essence of their project Cocojoey, indicating the exploratory nature of their music. Over three minutes, the track transitions from gentle melodies to chaotic, genre-blending screams, reflecting Meland's diverse musical journey. After a decade of experimenting across genres, Meland underwent a spiritual transformation during the pandemic, which informed the creation of Cocojoey. STARS represents a matured and cohesive merging of past influences, as Meland commits to an exuberant and unapologetically eclectic sound, pushing the boundaries of genre.
Meland offers a mission statement, expressing uncertainty about their musical direction, while blending disparate genres into a cohesive and experimental body of work.
The evolution from Cocojoey's previous album to STARS illustrates a refined approach, showcasing Meland's growth into an artist who embraces their multifaceted influences.
