SAWAYAMA

Pop · 2020 · 13 tracks · 43m

SAWAYAMA

A high-gloss collision of Y2K pop, nu-metal, and R&B. Theatrical, maximalist, and deeply personal explorations of identity and family heritage.

It's like if Britney Spears joined Evanescence and they made a record about their parents.

A fierce and theatrical journey through personal history, blending righteous anger with profound tenderness.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jarring transition from acoustic strumming to a jagged nu-metal riff on 'XS'

The operatic, stadium-sized vocal opening of 'Dynasty' that sets the theatrical stakes

The way 'STFU!' explodes into a wall of distorted guitars after a deceptively sweet intro

The shimmering, nostalgic synth-pop breakdown halfway through 'Paradisin'
