Rina Sawayama is everything you could pray for in a pop provocateur, circa 2022: rude, audacious, unpredictable, hilarious, blunt, with a mean streak and an omnivorous ear. The Japanese British art rebel made waves with her debut, Sawayama, a pop manifesto with her own queer glam-rock sensibility. In gems like “Stfu,” she managed to combine two totally different strains of Y2K-era radio — Britney-Backstreet teen disco and Korn-esque nu metal — into a new style of head-banging swagger. Anyone could hear it: Sawayama was born to break stuff.

Rina Sawayama is taking a leap of faith — and it’s thanks to her mother that she’s certain she won’t be left free-falling off the edge of a cliff. On her latest single “Catch Me in the Air,” the singer delivers a maternal ode to the cyclical, codependent nature of growing up with one parent who’s figuring it out as they go, urging: “Mama, look at me now, I’m flying.”
“I really wanted to write about this weird relationship with single parents,” Sawayama said in a statement.

Rina Sawayama has premiered a rousing new music video for her single, “This Hell.” In the clip, directed by Ali Kurr, the singer attends her own cowboy-themed wedding and afterparty, complete with line dancing and shots.
“It was amazing to get back together with director Ali Kurr for the video for ‘This Hell,'” Sawayama said in a statement. “We always like to tell engaging stories through film together so this one was about love and community in the face of hatred and dissent.”

Rina Sawayama has delivered a reference-laden toast to a good life amidst so much chaos on her new song, “This Hell.” The track marks the lead single from Sawayama’s next album, Hold the Girl, out Sept. 2 via Dirty Hit.
“This Hell” finds Sawayama injecting her future pop bona fides with some classic Nineties country (there’s even a “Let’s go, girls” at the very start of the tune, a direct nod to Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!”). The rest of the song is a...

Rina Sawayama covered Lady Gaga’s “Dance in the Dark” for Spotify Singles’ Pride campaign — the track originally appeared on Gaga’s 2009 release The Fame Monster, an expanded reissue of her 2008 debut album The Fame.
On Twitter, Sawayama called “Dance in the Dark” one of her favorite songs and added that she recorded the song at home with remote help from Clarence Clarity. The cover bears much of the same dark, nu-metal-infused electro-pop of Sawayama’s self-titled debut album, which came out earlier this year. The track is accented with...
