Artists to Watch: Rina Sawayama
Feeling nostalgic for the late 90s/early 2000s sound but also looking for a new singer? Look no further than Rina Sawayama. The London-based Japanese artist recently released her debut mini-album Rina, which is full of 90s R&B and chill pop vibes. Her style is reminiscent of a variety of other queens of pop, including Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and even Sky Ferreira, and her music often explores the theme of the Internet and its relationship to identity, as seen in her songs "Cyber Stockholm Syndrome" and "Tunnel Vision."
Along with being a rising pop star, Sawayama is a model under Anti Agency and has modeled for a variety of labels, including GCDS, Lazy Oaf, and Monki. Everything about her style is bold, from the fiery hair to the Y2k-inspired streetwear. There's something nostalgic yet futuristic about her look, and it definitely makes for interesting music and style.
