Album Review: Rina Sawayama - SAWAYAMA

Album Review: Rina Sawayama - SAWAYAMA

“Like her diverse personal history, the album comprises songs that all fall under the ‘pop’ banner in the broadest sense, but individually veer from nu-metal to torch-song balladry to club-ready bops. All of these provide Rina with different canvases for her to explore various traits, either drawn from within herself or witnessed in the world around her.”

My thoughts on Rina Sawayama’s SAWAYAMA can be read over on Beats Per Minute.
