Joey P. Sharpens the Contrast on MISSING IN ACTION

Joey P. closes out 2025 by tightening his focus rather than widening the frame. MISSING IN ACTION is a short release, just two tracks, but it says more about his current headspace than a full album might. After a year that included viral momentum and serious streaming numbers, this feels like a controlled step forward, confident and deliberate.

Only One leans into clean pop instincts, polished vocals riding a smooth, bright production that recalls early Justin Bieber singles before pop fully blurred into EDM. It is catchy without trying too hard, the kind of track that slides easily onto radio playlists or late afternoon drives. Then comes Wrong With You, which shifts the lights down. The beat slows, the tone darkens, and Joey sinks back into R and B, letting space and restraint do the heavy lifting. His voice sits closer to the listener here, revealing cracks and questions rather than hooks alone.

Production from Sandro Carr and Mr. Igotbars keeps both songs focused and modern, never cluttered. The contrast works because it feels honest. Fans of artists like Giveon, early The Weeknd, or Justin Timberlake’s moodier cuts will recognize the balance. MISSING IN ACTION plays like a short film with two scenes, one sunlit, one after midnight. It leaves you curious about what comes next, which is exactly the point.
