RINA SAWAYAMA RELEASE 'THIS HELL', ANNOUNCE UK-IRELAND TOUR

Rina’s triumphant return kicks off with “This Hell”; a joyous and roaring slice of pop-meets-country which was produced by the legendary Paul Epworth and written by Rina alongside Epworth and longterm friend and collaborator Lauren Aquilina (Demi Lovato, Little Mix).
Rina kicks off the track with an ode to Shania Twain as she says “lets go girls” before bursting into the first verse.
The new single is awash with glam rock riffs and lyrics that are peppered with tongue-in-cheek one-liners shouting out a pantheon of gay icons Britney, Whitney and Princess Di, destined to be screamed on sticky dancefloors for years to come.
Rina is seen performing her new single for the first time on Jimmy Fallon recently.
Speaking about the new single, Rina explains:
“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.”
She continues, “It’s an important song for me given the human rights that are being taken away from minorities at a rapid rate in the name of traditional religious beliefs, more specifically I was thinking about the rights being taken away from the LGBTQ community when I wrote this song. When the world tells us we don't deserve love and protection, we have no choice but to give love and protection to each other. This Hell is better with you."
Rina also announce “Hold The Girl”, her highly anticipated sophomore album, set to be released September 2nd 2022 via Dirty Hit.
Following on from her critically acclaimed debut “SAWAYAMA”, the new record will see Rina once again juxtapose intimate storytelling with arena-sized songs creating another ambitious and original album to excite fans and critics alike.
Written and recorded over the last year and a half, Rina once again teamed up with longterm collaborators Clarence Clarity and Lauren Aquilina as well as enlisting help from the likes of the legendary Paul Epworth (Adele, Florence & the Machine), Stuart Price (Dua Lipa, The Killers, Madonna) and Marcus Andersson (Demi Lovato, Ashnikko) for their magic touch.
The product of Rina and these collective minds coming together is an album melds influences from across the pop spectrum and is a bold and honest statement of Rina’s personal evolution; coming to terms with her own past and the jubilation of turning to the future.
Fresh off the triumph of her sold out UK and US headline tours and packed out sets at Coachella, Rina announced her forthcoming UK and Ireland tour.
