"Hold The Girl" - Rina Sawayama *FULL ALBUM STREAM*
Added 2024-06-15 23:34:23 +0000 UTCooo wee, hey guys, so here's a little big spinny wheel stream! we knocked out another one from Rina Sawayama with "Hold The Girl". It was an interesting listen and I'm glad I finally did but unfortunately this one is feeling like a classic sophomore slump. stinks for Rina, I know she's mad talented but this just didn't hit. Read my review and check the reaction, i'd love t know what yall think about the record as well. Thanks!

I think Rina meant for this to be viewed as a piece of art. Like how in museum, when an artist airs out their trauma in an artwork thats not going to hit the shelves at your local Target store, but it’s meant to be appreciated differently. This album hits its target audience and maybe those who can’t relate or understand aren’t the target audience.

2024-10-22 02:33:50 +0000 UTCThe vinyl I have for Hold the Girl came with a 3D printed figure of her on the original album cover with the “bulb” outfit. It doesn’t rock back and forth but it’s kinda like what you wanted 😂

2024-06-16 19:25:15 +0000 UTCThanks for showing me an artist I hadn’t heard of! Some of the choices did feel kind of cheap and easy. Some good pockets but a lot of skips for me. Respect the artistry and vulnerability though! Will check out her other work too.

2024-06-16 06:21:43 +0000 UTCHold the Girl has an amazing music video. It's my favorite thing from the whole album. I'm convinced that the beginning is inspired by Westworld. 🐎

2024-06-16 05:45:50 +0000 UTCright 😭 it feels so personal and healing and maybe i just like it so much because i can relate to a lot of the themes heavily like dont get me wrong i love sawayama too its one of the albums that got me through the pandemic but this album has this fresh versatility in sound but still maintains cohesiveness through the theme and really shows off her vocal capability more than ever

2024-06-16 03:06:16 +0000 UTCI'm with you! this album resonates with me much more than sawayama, it could've been place and time but the nostalgic sounds matched to words hurting for her younger self just do it for me. I will defend this album with you

2024-06-16 02:35:00 +0000 UTCi'll never understand how so many people didn't like this album for me its better than sawayama and i just liked it on first then it grew to be one of my fav albums ever the story telling and introspection on this project is incredible and really shows her growth as an artist the production is also so much more interesting and detailed than sawayama i hate that this album is looked at as her fall off i think too many people expected to hear an album of XS and akasaka sad (which she kinda has that with imagining, frankenstein, your age) but she also gave nostalgic 00's pop moments that go with the theme of healing her inner child idk this is a huge TLDR but i will defend this album with my life man it hit so hard for me

2024-06-16 01:24:53 +0000 UTCthis did remind me that if/when you do a tiny desk stream, rina’s would be an excellent choice - her live vocals are wild and you’ll enjoy her song choices (since the tiny desk is post-sawayama and pre-hold the girl lol)
