After returning with huge banger ‘LUCID’ last month, Rina Sawayama has revealed the accompanying extended reality video, where we follow Rina into a dazzling dream world.
Her first new music since her debut album ‘SAWAYAMA’ arrived in April, Rina says of the bop, “It’s about living a different life through dreaming, whether it’s to be with the dream girl or to be the dream girl. Me and Lauren Aquilina wrote this together on the floor of my tiny rented living room back in early 2018. 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 2 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 ❤”
