The Crux (Djo album)

The Crux is the third studio album by the American actor and musician Joe Keery, under his musical alias Djo. It was released independently under AWAL on April 4, 2025, and served as the follow-up to his previous album, Decide (2022). Keery co-produced The Crux with his frequent collaborator Adam Thein at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. Three singles—"Basic Being Basic", "Delete Ya", and "Potion"—preceded the album. Upon its release, it was met with generally favorable reception from music critics. To promote The Crux, Keery embarked on the Back on You World Tour and Another Bite Tour between February and October 2025.
