Driemo – Joker (Official Music Video)
Driemo woke up and chose honesty, not the Instagram-caption honesty, The uncomfortable, mirror-facing, “maybe I played myself” type of honesty, “Joker” is not your usual love song where the guy pretends he was innocent and the woman was the devil. Nah. This one is self-snitching, self-awareness, and self-inflicted pain packaged into melody.
From the first seconds, you already know this isn’t a happy video. No champagne vibes. No forced smiles. Just that quiet sadness that hits harder than shouting. Driemo positions himself as the fool in love, the guy who ignored red flags because feelings said “relax.” We’ve all been there, pretending red flags are just decorations. That’s why “Joker” hurts it’s relatable in a way people don’t like admitting.
Musically, Driemo stays in his comfort zone, and that’s not a bad thing. Smooth vocals, controlled emotion, no unnecessary shouting, no vocal gymnastics to prove talent. He lets the pain breathe. The production is clean, emotional, and restrained, which fits the message perfectly. This song didn’t need extra drums screaming for attention. The story is loud enough.
