London dwelling electro-soul songstress Rina Sawayama first pricked up our ears last month with her sultry slow jam ‘Sleeping In Waking’.
Said track is varnished with another layer of breathtaking sensuality thanks to this gorgeous Jack Greeley-Ward directed monochrome promo video that focuses attention on the Japanese starlet whispering her sweet nothings over a backdrop of pulsing bass and shuddering beats. Intoxicating barely covers this sumptuous piece.
‘Sleeping In Waking’ is set for release on 15 April via Make Mine Records. Catch Rina Sawayama live at The Monarch, London on 17 April alongside Best Fit favourite Echo Park. RSVP via Facebook.
