Rina Sawayama - 'Hold the Girl'


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I haven't listened to the leak, and stopped playing the singles because I want the album to sound fresh on friday, but just listened to Hurricanes and i was catapulted back to my teenage years. I get that this album might not be for everyone, but she knew what she did and so far really delivers. The influences of Shania Twain, the Corrs, Girls Aloud ... Literally the soundtrack of my ciggy youth.

 

Edit: It also makes perfect sense since this album seems to be about coming to terms with her youth.

Never doubted this record, happy to see the switch :fan:

I'm excited to see all these f-words switch like f-words when the critics praise it more

89 on Metacritic with 6 reviews :clap3:

See when you serve TABS :jonny6:

 

 

also hope this charts on the BB200 and the UK top 100. She build a small but engaged fanbase since her debut and did fair amounts of promo. Also the vinyls are ready for shipment this time

I think the whole thing did. I only listened to Imagining & Frankenstein and they’re total bops

Now that the album is acclaimed (as it was predicted since she served QUALITY), what will you do in this thread?

I mean, I’m gagging @ the acclaim, but that doesn’t change my opinion on it at all, which is that it’s a very uneven album that would’ve been better as a cute little EP :cm:

no surprise some users have no taste. The album has grown on me after a few listens.

Saw her at one of her record store album launch shows last night, when I say all the HTG tracks hit different live :jonny5: She did all the pre released plus Minor Feelings and my excitement for the album tomorrow is fully back on now :clap3:

Why an EP? every single track on this record is good. This is not a Sabrina album full of fillers after all.

She tweeted its Midnight EST - worldwide release. So you have 16 and a half more hours

Seriously tho, you really need to learn how to pick and choose your battles. All I said was that the album is uneven and could’ve been an EP. I don’t think it’s horrible, and I’m not hating on it. You don’t need to call out every person that you disagree with :cm:

Yeah even on her IG story there’s countdowns with less than a couple of hours. How weird

I will never understand why it’s so hard for people to accept that not everyone is going to love things they love, and that’s ok, and it’s also ok for them to express that opinion. Myself and others that don’t love this album were being called out by people claiming that we would change our opinion on this album just bc it’s acclaimed, and all I said is that critic reviews don’t affect mine and other people’s opinions. It’s hilarious seeing people seethe and cope with this fact :coffee2:

Nah, she said out midnight WW, meaning midnight depending on where you live. That’s why she said “14 hours until it’s out in the UK”

A battle against a Sabrina who stan is not that hard, trust me.
