Another pop anthem from Rina Sawayama? Well thank you very much.
Rina took to Twitter yesterday to announce her new single in style. Following a string of tweets, the singer teased a playful snippet of the song’s lyrics.
Produced by BloodPop, new single Lucid will feature on a deluxe version of Rina’s incredible critically-lauded debut album SAWAYAMA.
“Me and Lauren Aquilina wrote this together on the floor of my tiny rented living room back in early 2018,” Rina explained in a statement. “BloodPop sent us the beat and the melody flowed out so easily that I remember at one point I started hoovering cos i knew this would be easy to write lol.
“I’ve kept this song secret for two years so I’m so excited to finally release it to the world! 2020’s been a tough year so I wanted to finish it off with a dance bop to take us into a more hopeful 2021.”
is #RinaLUCID about masturbating ????????? maybe !!!!!!!!!!
