Multidimensional, British-Japanese pop sensation Rina Sawayama shares the third offering from her highly anticipated sophomore album Hold The Girl, now releasing September 16th via Dirty Hit. The video for the title track was recently released.
Speaking about the origin of the new song, Rina says, “’Hold the Girl’ was the first song I wrote for the record at the end of 2020–I had gone to therapy and had a revelation, so I decided to write this song…that was the start of it. I was crying before going into the studio to write about it.”
Along with the new single, Rina has announced her North American headline tour happening this November.

Multidimensional pop sensation Rina Sawayama shares the visuals for her new song “This Hell,” the lead single from her highly-anticipated sophomore album Hold The Girl due September 2nd via Dirty Hit.
Directed by Ali Kurr, the video for “This Hell” sees Rina making her way to a glamorous wedding ho-down and afterparty complete with white cowboy boots, a gaudy stretch limo, a choreographed dance down the aisle and lots of confetti.
Rina shares about filming the video, “It was amazing to get back together with director Ali Kurr (‘XS’, ‘Bad Friend’) for the video for ‘This Hell.’ We always like to tell engaging stories through film together so this one was about love and community in the face of hatred and dissent.”
