His social media presence and existing discography made him stand out among the competitors last year. He expertly teased his song submission, \u201cEuropapa,\u201d leaving fans\u2014both new and old\u2014on the edges of their seats. Once the single was released, audiences became obsessed, and Joost emerged as a fan favorite. But when Joost was accused of threatening a staff member, he was disqualified from the contest. The charges against him have since been dropped due to a lack of evidence. Still, fans were furious with&nbsp; Eurovision\u2019s decision, and social media flooded with clips of his energetic semifinal performance, where he shouted, \u201cEurope, let\u2019s come together!\u201d with a beaming smile on his face. He shared that it had been his dream to go to Eurovision since he was a child and that he was competing in honor of his parents, who passed away when he was young. The disqualification led him to step back from social media and music for a while, but after slowly releasing singles over the past six months, Joost is back with his new album <em>Unity.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The album opens with a powerful spoken line: \u201cOnce there was a boy, and he had a dream, \/ but then one day, his dream was taken away.\u201d This choice effectively calls attention to the contest that robbed him of his chance to win. The first track, \u201cWhy Not???,\u201d features a pop-punk sound with dramatic, scratchy vocals, and his signature hardcore electronic beat makes a comeback midway through the song. Joost is reinventing his sound and having fun with it. The following track, \u201cLuchtballon,\u201d was released as a single over the summer. His Europop sound returns with a delightfully cheesy piano melody and a whopping BPM of 176. \u201cLuchtballon\u201d reestablishes his classic sound, offering an upbeat rhythm to dance to, along with lyrics that speak to his experiences and emotions. While the majority of his songs are in Dutch, a translation of \u201cLuchtballon\u201d reveals his feelings on moving forward after Eurovision. Despite his fear of the future, he expresses his readiness to keep flying higher, like a hot air balloon, or a luchtballon. He sings:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cBen zo hoog in de atmosfeer \/<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Het liefst kom ik nooit, nooit, nooit meer neer \/<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Het verleden doet zeer, maar heb er van geleerd \/<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">En dat zeg ik terwijl ik de toekomst negeer \/<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Door de wolken, langs de steden, ik kom nooit meer naar beneden \/<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">De toekomst is onzeker, wil gewoon m&#8217;n leven leven \/<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Geef me even, geef me effe \/<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Ik ben op eenzame hoogte en dat moet je wel beseffen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><em>which roughly translates to:<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI&#8217;m so high in the atmosphere \/<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Preferably, I&#8217;ll never, never, never be coming down \/<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The past hurts, but I&#8217;ve learned from it \/ <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">And that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m saying while ignoring the future \/<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Through the clouds, across the cities, I&#8217;ll never come down \/<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The future is uncertain, I just want live my life \/<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Give me a second, give me a moment \/<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I&#8217;m lonely at the top and you have to realize that.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">From these first two tracks alone, it\u2019s clear that this album has a sense of reinvention. The symbolism of the flames on the cover indicates Joost rising from the ashes, reborn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Meanwhile, the third track is a straight-up gabber anthem titled \u201cGabberland.\u201d Joost\u2019s music is heavily inspired by the popular gabber scene in the Netherlands, a subculture within the hardcore electronic music scene. This tune is fast and energetic and makes me want to commit to learning the hakken. The iconic sound of the electronic jabs is a throughline in this album, and you can expect almost every track to build to an explosive beat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Joost is exploring a unique blend of rock and electronic music, introducing instruments that aren\u2019t typically heard in upbeat gabber tracks. \u201cDiscozwemmen\u201d begins with a casual guitar melody and it continues to ground throughout the song. He finds an awesome balance between the hardcore, head-banging beats of the gabbers and an easy going melody. Again, Joost is reestablishing himself in this album. His love for music is apparent with each track.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Joost also has some crowd-pleasers on <em>Unity<\/em>. As I approached the middle of the album, I was greeted with surprise. The iconic \u201cFriensenjung\u201d was initially released by German rapper, Ski Aggu, featuring Joost; it went viral on social media and sparked Joost\u2019s initial climb into the global spotlight. The song is addicting and has a fascinating progression of how it came to be. I encourage you to follow the sample path and you\u2019ll find the original melody comes from a 1987 song by Sting. Releasing this song on <em>Unity<\/em> feels like an acknowledgement of his past and an appreciation of the boost it gave him in the music world. On that same note, the following track was an even greater surprise. \u201cKunst und Musik\u201d has been an unreleased Joost track for years. There are countless videos on his TikTok teasing a snippet of the song, and fans flooded the comments, begging for him to release the full version. Our prayers were met with <em>Unity<\/em>, and this release feels like a thank you to his fans for lifting him up, especially in the midst of the Eurovision madness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The second half of the album continues with numerous hardcore tracks, each with elements of Europop heard in the piano melodies. It\u2019s refreshing that Joost has stayed true to his sound. The melodies he locks down are consistently catchy and always leave my head bobbing up and down. \u201cWe\u2019ll Meet Again\u201d and \u201cInternetcafe 24\/7\u201d are epic tracks; the production is glorious. The influence of the hardcore sound that has existed since the \u201890s is clear, and I greatly appreciate the way Joost fuses that sound with meaningful lyrics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As we near the end of this electrifying album, we arrive at a song that holds significant meaning for him and many others around the world: \u201cEuropapa.\u201d Forever a classic in my books, it serves as a catalyst for Joost\u2019s reflections. \u201cEuropapa\u201d marks a triumphant yet challenging time in his career, which has motivated him to continue pushing forward and reaching new heights. The final track on the album is \u201cLast Man Standing,\u201d a tune rooted in Europop elements. This track is the cool down at the end of an energetic thirty-six minutes, and it\u2019s another moment of emotional reflection for Joost. The bridge of the song is particularly poignant: \u201cBen ik nu goed genoeg voor jou? (het spijt me, begrijp me) \/ Ben ik nu ook goed genoeg voor mij? (verleid me, begeleid me) \/ Ben ik nu degene die ik zei die ik worden zou sinds klein? (het spijt me, begrijp me, verleid me) \/ Begeleid me,\u201d which roughly translates to, \u201cAm I good enough for you now (I&#8217;m sorry, understand me) \/ Am I also good enough for me now? (seduce me, guide me) \/ Am I now who I said I would be since I was little? (I&#8217;m sorry, understand me, seduce me) \/ Guide me.\u201d Music plays a huge role in his life and he always aims to make his parents proud. His childhood and his dreams have always been a theme in his music, and he calls back to those feelings in this final track.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The album finishes with a final soundbite. A crackly voice is heard saying: \u201cTo all flight controllers \/ The boy always said that we should come together \/ And I ask myself, \u2018Why Not?\u2019 \/ Unity.\u201d The key theme of this album and its namesake is Joost\u2019s call for Unity. Joost is not only fun, but inspiring: He\u2019s simply a boy with dreams. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">&nbsp;Joost is not only fun,
