Sep 16, 2022I'm crying. That's all. I cannot express how incredible this piece of art is. She really outdid herself
-
Sep 19, 2022Phenomenal album that cured my childhood trauma, thanks mother! Personally prefer HTG to Sawayama.
-
Sep 16, 2022Rina plays genres like the fiddle. As she has stated in interviews, she dresses her songs in a flavour specific to that piece as a means of enhancing it’s tone or message. You’d think it would sound disjointed l but it’s beautifully threaded.

Sep 16, 2022You would think after dropping the pop bible it would take her at least 5 years to deliver another prophecy but here she is just saving lives again in just 2 years it almost feels like we’re all living in rina’s simulation and she’s just here to guide us

Sep 16, 2022Innovative and revolutionary. The way rina sawayama connects her feelings to sounds is indescribable. I identified with the lyrics from start to the finish. Congratulations Rina for this flawless record.

Sep 17, 2022Cultural reset. Catchy beats with deep and meaningful lyrics. I had high hopes for Rina's second album after her iconic debut, and she didn't disappoint. SLAYWAYAMA!!!

Nov 27, 2022Hold The Girl is an alternative pop masterpiece. With perfect vocal performance, truth in the lyrics and A LOT of ambition production wise, it's easily the best album of 2022 and one of the best projects release this decade. An instant CLASSIC.
-
Sep 19, 2022RINA IS MOTHERRR!!! Album of the year! The 4-track run of Holy Til You Let Me Go - Frankenstein is immaculate. Really related to these 4 tracks. Can’t wait for the future of Rina.

Sep 24, 2022O álbum da rina sawayama hold the girl é perfeito do início ao fim cada música muito bem feita, arranjos e melodias sensacionais rina merece só nota 10 Álbum perfeito.
-
Sep 17, 2022This is, in my opinion, the best pop album of the year. Rina came with an album deeper and more personal than her first one (who was also excellent). Everything is perfect, her vocals, the lyrics, the production… 10/10.
-
Sep 16, 2022Rina really outdid herself with this one. When you think SAWAYAMA couldn't be topped, she goes and does this. One on my favorite albums of 2022, congrats Rina, you've done it again, constantly raising the bar for us all, and doing it flawlessly. I would say that I'm surprised but i know who you are. slayage

Sep 16, 2022Lyrically, amazing. The generational trauma, the story. It tells such a story that it's not even an album, it's like a whole storybook, an emotional rollercoaster of a movie. The insane vocals, beautiful melodies, and I can't understand the lyrics, but still love it! The transitions, the whiplash! I cried during this... my expectations were high, and this album blew me away.
-
Sep 16, 2022Um album excelente e coeso, Rina acertou novamente e brilhou mais ainda, merece ser mais reconhecida na indústria com toda certeza do mundo.

Sep 16, 2022I really love this Album , it's amazing every song is so different. Rina is a singer who deserves more recognition, her music is so transparent and full of good messages, she tells us many things about her personal life, I think that sharing that with her fans unites us more

-
Sep 29, 2022With bops and tearjerkers aplenty, Rina’s sincerity in how she confronts her past demons cannot help but warm even the iciest heart.
-
Sep 20, 2022It’s a respectable record with easily enough depth and conviction to hint at something thoroughly vital, but it folds so much of itself along lines too deeply creased into forms too clean-edged to bear the kind of authorial stamp its many raw qualities beg for.
-
Sep 20, 2022Her experiments aren’t as bold or memorable as those of her debut, and the hooks throughout Hold the Girl aren’t as immediately catchy. Nonetheless, Sawayama’s undeniably fierce willingness to gaze further inward and confront thornier topics makes the album compelling in its own right.
