Rina Sawayama to release new album on September 2
The artist will release the new album Hold the Girl on September 2, and it will be available on vinyl, CD and cassette. Sawayama has so far released singles including Catch Me in the Air and This Hell. Sawayama co-wrote This Hell with Paul Epworth and Lauren Aquilina. It is co-produced by Epworth and Clarence Clarity.
Speaking about the song, Sawayama in a press release said,
"I had so much fun writing “This Hell.” The past couple of years I’ve been listening to lots of female country singers and wanted to write a euphoric and tongue-in-cheek country-pop song. Country music at its core to me represents comfort, brilliant storytelling and authentic expression of the writer's reality. I’ve been dreaming of working with Paul Epworth my entire career so I knew it was meant to be when we finished this song in a day. I put in as many iconic pop culture moments as I can, but the song is more than that."
Rina Sawayama was born in Japan and emigrated to London as a child. She self-released her debut extended play titled Rina in 2017. Her debut album Sawayama was released in 2020 after she signed to Dirty Hit records. Apart from her music career, Sawayama has also modelled for several fashion campaigns, and will make her acting debut in the upcoming John Wick movie.
