Amoeba Cleansing Syndrome is the second studio album from American R&B singer Joi. The album was set to be released in 1996, under EMI Records and promotional CD's was released to radio stations. EMI soon delayed Amoeba Cleansing Syndrome set for a later release in 1997, for more songs with commercial appeal. By 1997, the album was planned for release, as "Ghetto Superstar" was to be first single. Abruptly, EMI Records was shut down, and the album was shelved.
The producer of the "Amoeba" album was Dallas Austin, who arranged for funk rock band Fishbone to be the backing band. Dallas's company FreeWorld Records acquired the rights to release the album. FreeWorld Records released two different promotional EPs for radio with a selection of songs from the album. FreeWorld Records went out of business before "Amoeba Cleansing Syndrome" was set to be released. In 2002 the album was official distributed personally through Joi for official purchase on digital format or CD through her Official online website.
In The New Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004), Rolling Stone journalist Jon Caramanica calls the album both "sensational" and "bizzare".
