    The music video for "XS" is genius, too. I recommend reacting to that video, first, then "STFU!" would be my second. She also has videos for "Commes Des Garcons" and "Bad Friend". All of her videos for this album are great and convey a deep message. "SAWAYAMA" is subversive indie-pop that upcycled the formulaic mainstream sounds of the 90s through early 00s. "SAWAYAMA" is what you get when your pop star is a Cambridge grad and has a political science degree.

    Why haven't I seen the producer's name come up once? Clarence Clarity and his albums are seriously some of the most original and dynamic albums I've ever heard. You can hear his genre melding all through this project and his solo projects are insane. Genuinely think that he is one of the greatest minds of our time. No joke.

    For context, a love hotel is a hotel that you can rent rooms for a couple hours to “rest” but has more popularly been used for things like casual sex. My first impression was someone wanting a more serious relationship rather than a fling. But Rina meant it more along the lines of the short term obsessing over Tokyo/ Japanese culture but not caring about the people and their issues.

  • @bcpr9812
    @bcpr9812 4 роки тому +48

    "Chosen Family" is her song for the LGBTQ+ community (Rina is pansexual. See the "Cherry" video, which is her music video coming out). "Chosen Family" also sounds like Jessie J's "Flashlight", although I'm sure that's a coincidence.

    From your comment at 47:11 the reason the mixing might be a bit weird is because she wanted it to feel like the listener was a performer on stage not someone in the moshpit. Like you are the one performing this song live. She discusses it in “the making of sawayama” her two part doco on how she made the album.

    Also please consider give a listen to-

    • @Brax1982
      @Brax1982 3 роки тому +2

      According to Spotify this would be her sophomore. Her debut album would be Rina, released in 2017. But on Allmusic that one is listed as an EP. Interesting...although it has 8 tracks, I guess it qualifies, because it's under 25 minutes.

    • @TheEndIsTheStart
      @TheEndIsTheStart 2 роки тому +4

      @@Brax1982 Rina is an EP but streaming apps list EPs and mix tapes under albums a lot based on length not the actual qualification of being an album. So it SAWAYAMA is her debut. Similarly Billie Eilish’s first big project was an EP not an album so she is only on her Sophomore album with HTE (just a fun fact).
