Three shiny pop-infused albums later, Johnny pulls the mask off revealing the vulnerable human behind the front. After being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, dealing with depression, meds, and muddling through messy relationships, SAD MACHINE documents his path to life after via some of his most personal lyrics yet, spacey R&B musical arrangements, and unexpected guests; MATT steps out on the spicy "GET DRIPPED", Jesse Del Rey assists on the lovey "FIRST THINGS FIRST" and 6ix9ine jumps on the threatening "SWERVIN". "A LOT", and "ALL GIRLS ARE THE SAME" are dissections of life and lessons learned.  "SICKO MODE" features multiple beat changes, playing like some kind of funhouse trip. Johnny also shows off a hidden talent rapping his first full spanish track "CARO" which means expen$ive.
