Joytime is the debut studio album by electronic producer and DJ Marshmello, which was self-released through his label, Joytime Collective on January 8, 2016.[1][2] When it was released, it landed on the iTunes top electronic albums on the first day.[3]

Singles

[edit]

The first single "Keep It Mello", featuring vocals from rapper Omar LinX, was released on October 24, 2015.[4]

A remix by Marshmello and Slushii of "Want U 2", a song from the album, was released as a single but not in promotion of the album.[5][6]

Critical reception

[edit]

Ryan James Blair of Festival Forecast gave Joytime a 7.5/10 rating, stating "Joytime starts strong with a screeching synth, mallet melodies, and a smooth bass as he [Marshmello] taunts listeners with the vocal hook (Everybody Knows Me.... Marshmello)."[7] The rest of Joytime does not vary much from the opening track as each song sticks to the strong formula that includes a smooth bass line, sharp synths, simple risers and percussion buildups, trap hats and strong kicks. 'Summer' is perhaps the biggest change of pace with a nice downtempo beat, but at times the sub bass can almost be overwhelming for the slower tempo and context."[7]
