I just discovered this artist and she is amazing! New album is my cup of tea, does she have some older good songs?

If you liked this album you will love Bad Friend from SAWAYAMA.

 

 

 

I think it was her most melodic song until this album came.

This is so good! My favourites are Holy, Your age and the title track of course. I only hope she'd finally release the European tour dates cause I want to experience the album live so badly.

That's my trinity as well, great taste!  If you liked these you 100% need to listen to her debut EP RINA and her debut album SAWAYAMA

Like half the album, sis... 

 

I just watched some straight dude react to this video on YouTube and I knew before I even watched he wouldn't like it.  This album is 101% for the gays. Period. 

[Sky Engineer]

Has anyone gotten the rough trade exclusive? It's supposed to come with a bonus cd of the live tour recording. I haven't seen anything online?

[TalkThatRihanna]

Phantom has me in a chokehold lately

 

Overall I really like this album! Much more digestible for me than her debut. Their are a few fillers here and there, but overall it’s good

[rihannabiggestfan]

He made poinTs

 

 

[Dragonfly]

I´m glad he calls out that many songs feel ´smothered´ by production and mixing. Wow, it´s almost been 4 years since he interviewed Rina on his channel... time flies

If y'all expected that person to enjoy the album, Idk what to tell you.  

 

Straight men are not a demographic Ms. Sawayama is catering to with this album.

I found a rar in certain popular download site.

Not me just bawling my eyes out to To Be Alive

[SweetTalker]

Holy is like a cute ugly duckling from a fan made Gaga album.
Your Age sounds like something that could’ve been on Halsey’s last album. I love it. 

Imagining is interesting but a BOP. That chorus 

Frankenstein is like Holy. 
 

Hurricanes is actually immaculate  
 

Send My Love To John is beautiful. Rianne snapped

[SweetTalker]

I don’t use the rest ^  

[saucy]

Imagining and holy are my favourite I think  bops

[Harrier]

Fantano hating the middle of the album and liking the singles and the last couple of tracks  A reverse this thread experience

He does make points about the compression tho.
