— NEW ALBUM + TOURRINA SAWAYAMA (@rinasawayama) March 2, 2020

SAWAYAMA is the singer/songwriter's debut album, and first collection of tracks since her 2017 mini-album RINA.

Discussing her forthcoming LP, Sawayama explains, "The album ultimately is about family and identity. It's about understanding yourself in the context of two opposing cultures (for me British and Japanese), what “belonging” means when home is an evolving concept, figuring out where you sit comfortably within and awkwardly outside of stereotypes, and ultimately trying to be ok with just being you, warts and all."

"XS" lands at 7:30pm GMT tonight (2 March). Rina Sawayama's debut album SAWAYAMA arrives via Dirty Hit on 17 April, and is available to pre-order now. She plays London's Electric Brixton on 21 May. Find out more.
