May 21, 2020it’s really hard for me to love all the songs, as i expected it didn’t happens in here. however, i literally loved 5 of the 12 of them. i found “dynasty” and “who’s gonna save u now?” amazingly thrilling and boosting. “chosen family” is absolutely beautiful, periodt.

May 9, 2020Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely never been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it. Album of the f*****g year.

May 9, 2020Demasiado sobrevalorado para lo que es, en cuanto a vocals deja mucho que desear y la producción no es de la mejor.
-
May 6, 2020Best Album of The Year/Decade!! Sawayama is a journey that keeps you on the edge of your seat! Using metal influences to show anger, Sawayama will make you laugh, cry, and dance!
-
May 5, 2020Best pop album of the year so far, she snapped! Tracks like XS, Love Me 4 Me are really 2000's reminiscent and are perfectly blended with today's music. The "rock" bits like Who's Gonna Save U Now? and STFU! are literally perfect. Truly a groundbreaking album.

Apr 24, 2020sawayama has everything from nu metal to r&b to pop. she uses genre-splicing to express different emotions on her album. almost every song on the album is good but DYNASTY is definitely my favorite so far
-
Apr 24, 2020SAWAYAMA is an honest self-portrait of an artist brimming with ideas of how to push pop into weirder territory. Her creative choices on the album shouldn't work, but they all come together to form an album that is nostalgic yet refreshingly new. Rina's lyrics and rock star vocals anchor the whole project as a singular vision of boundless potential and creativity.
-
Apr 24, 2020the fact that this is her debut album means that she's a legend in the making. Sawayama serves lyrically, sonically and artistically. This is a top notch album that nobody asks for but needed in this pandemic situation.

Apr 22, 2020Album of the year. If you don't believe me, go listen to this masterpiece by yourself.
-
Apr 21, 2020there's not a single bad song here (even if there are, for sure, definite standouts). the production is impecable and every single track is it's own little universe; it's own story. she knocked it out of the park. AOTY contender.

Apr 20, 2020Album of the year material. I listen to it from top to bottom enjoying every song. Thank you Rina
-
Apr 20, 2020O álbum debut de Rina é incrível, acredito que inclui várias músicas inovadoras e com ritmos interessantes, enquanto outras são bem entendiantes, em geral, um bom álbum.
-
Apr 20, 2020Really liked this debut, so many different genres being fused together on one album, with great vocal performances to go along with it. Although I'd never heard of her before I definitely have now. Brilliant.
-
Apr 20, 2020Probably the most cohesive album in 2020. The opening is so powerful and closes the same way but throughout the album you get to experience so many emotions and really see Rina put her soul into this album. Love it
-
Apr 18, 2020this album is a masterpiece... to simply put it. Never thought I’d hear an early 2000s rock and pop/rnb vibe sound so modern
-
Apr 20, 2020I didn’t who was Rina, but I don’t regret having met her. This album is perfect, the production, lyrics and her voice make this album be magical. Also this album has transported me at pop from 90’s and 2000’s, but with moder pop of 2020’s. I hope that this album be recognized around the world!
-
Apr 20, 2020This is one of the best pop albums of all time. There's a lot of people who are coming to claim the title of 'pop music saviour' but that person really is Rina Sawayama. Nobody else manages to infuse pop music and politics the way she does, and this is what we need our pop music to do: we need it to say something. Finally, the saviour has arrived!

Apr 18, 2020An absolutely excellent album. She bends elements from almost every genre into 13 amazing tracks. Every song has it’s own identity, yet the album remains VERY cohesive. In short, she did that.
-
Apr 18, 2020Excellent debut album. It features Nu-Metal rock, Pop, Electronic, and R&B. That sounds overwhelming but somehow everything works out perfectly. Fav Tracks include XS (I love how this song mocks capitalism), STFU, and Chosen Family.

Apr 18, 2020This is literally the perfect album! Rina gives pop and rock to create the perfect experience for the listener. Her second song “XS” even gives an early 2000s experience which is sure to have you bopping. I literally can’t stop listening!
-
Apr 18, 2020The Genre-exploration at the start of this album is truly surprising and wonderful in how successful the attempts were.
-
Apr 18, 2020This album was so good. I think that this can win AOTY at the Grammys this was fire.
-
Apr 18, 2020An amazing alternative album! Absolutely the best album of the year so far. I heard very great and enjoyable tracks like "Chosen Family", "Bad Friend", "Who's Gonna Save U Now?" and "Dynasty" in this album. I highly recommend listening to this album.

Apr 18, 2020Its literally an alternative masterpiece and fits everything Sawayama was going for. We have to stan
-
Apr 18, 2020The release date is unfortunate, because this album is amazing and could (and should) help get Rina the visibility she deserves.
-

Apr 18, 2020one of my favorite albums of all time instantly. 0 skips, genre splices perfectly. She’s amazing
-
Apr 18, 2020Album of the year so far. Very experimental production with great vocals and harmonies. There is pop, rock, R&B, even metal. Cohesive body of art. Everyone should listen to this album.
-
Apr 17, 2020Above and beyond what I was expecting! Every song is such a standout and features different music genres. Will be streaming for several hours straight. Paradisin’ gets me so hype and is back to back with Akasaka Sad which is another one of my favorites. Literally none of the songs were bad, the consistency in production was there, 10/10 for me :)

Apr 17, 2020"Sawayama" blends pop and rock perfectly. With mature lyrics and dismembering the experience of a girl who has gone through several aspects with family and friends. A great album for a beginner.
-
Apr 17, 2020Fantastic! Rina Sawayama did it again. She’s unique and talented, and SAWAYAMA show us her personal side flawlessly executed from Dynasty to Snakeskin.
-
Apr 17, 2020This album feels really fresh, it's a really fun listen, can really recommend to everyone from a casual listener to someone who searches a deeper listening experience in their music
-
Apr 17, 2020
-
Apr 17, 2020SAWAYAMA is a quintessential pop album. very messy and out of control, constantly blowing up genre as it desperately pleads to say something about the artist. very vulnerable and heartfelt and also compulsively listenable.

Apr 17, 2020uma obra prima. rina sawayama sabe como fazer um pop decente e interessante, assim como fluir entre o R&B e o metal sem sair algo superficial.
-
Apr 17, 2020An honest, exciting, sexy, funny, heart-breaking, mind-bending and incredibly catchy ride in the form of a pop album. With SAWAYAMA, Rina proves herself to be one of the most interesting pop voices in music currently and an underdog deserving of everyone's attention.
-

-
Apr 17, 2020Esse álbum é tão pop perfection, não tem uma música ruim e ela entrega um álbum debut bem coeso, e músicas como Akasaka Sad, Bad Friend, Love Me 4 Me e Tokyo Love Hotel merecem ser enaltecidas.
-
Apr 17, 2020Meu deus, tá incrível demais, nenhum defeito, lenda. VOCE FOI PERSPICAZ RINA

-
Apr 17, 2020This Album was a Pop masterpiece, it completely mastered her refined aesthetic while taking daring and elegant genre risks, this album had original and personal stories unique to Sawayama which made the listener feel a range of emotions throughout the album.
-
Apr 17, 2020Album of the year!!! She created a mix of sonorities which are all very diferent from themselves but together worked really well. Also, the lyrics are incredibly good.
-
Apr 17, 2020Perfeita demais, a pegada dos anos 2000 faz um nostalgia gostosa aos ouvidos, mas não só isso, Rina consegue transitar entre estilos de uma forma muito agradável
-
Apr 17, 2020Simplesmente INCRÍVEL.Um dos melhores álbuns lançados nesse ano até agora.
-
Apr 17, 2020Debut digno de nota 10, rina vem trilhando seu caminho com músicas diferentes mas ao mesmo tempo na moda como a "Comme des garçons", "XS" e "Love me 4 Me" que trazem estilos bastantes diferentes do que estamos acostumados a ver mas ao mesmo tempo com uma pegada pop/rock, Rina Sawayama poderia ser fácil uma artista revelação ao grammy's.
-
Apr 17, 2020Acelera e falta combustível no meio do caminho, com lestras vazias e melodias que não saem do lugar

-
Apr 17, 2020It’s a fun, bold, glitchy, experimental take on pop and yet still sounds familiar as you can hear the 90s pop influence.
-
Apr 17, 2020
-
Apr 17, 2020This is absolutely fire. Rina kills it with her vocals, blended with amazing choices for production on every song on this album. From the build-up on Dynasty, to her sampling her prior work in 10-20-40 and Take Me As I Am on Rina in F*** This World (Interlude), she does no wrong on this album and it's an amazing listen whether it be the first time listening or the enthh time listening.

Apr 17, 2020We have found a jewel in the storm. From beginning to end SAWAYAMA has shown us what a born prolific artist is able to do. Just magnificent!
Awards & Rankings
-
May 19, 2020On this stunning debut, Sawayama captures Dua Lipa's future nostalgia and Poppy's metal-meets-pop savvy, rightfully making it her own with more depth, bigger thrills, and a limitless palette.
-
May 4, 2020SAWAYAMA appears poised to be one of the best pop albums of the year and sets Sawayama up as a pop force to be reckoned with.
-
Apr 30, 2020The album is a complicated picture of Swayama’s past, present, and future. It is rare to see a debut album with such a fully realized voice and vision behind it. What’s more, she exorcises her personal demons amid some of the year’s best dancefloor-filling pop.
