  • The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
    Alex Ramos | April 19, 2021
    As usual, Rina Sawayama is one step ahead of us. She's back in the office, clad in a periwinkle blazer with waist cut-outs and a high ponytail cleaner than the view of the city skyline. Make no mistake: even in fluorescent lighting, the Japanese British pop star performs with the same tenacity and drama you hear in her 2020 debut album, SAWAYAMA, a lustrous pop epic peppered with early aughts R&B, nu-metal and classic rock.
    Unable to tour because of the pandemic, the artist has been holding onto these songs for the last year. Sawayama's Tiny Desk (home) concert successfully reminds us - in just three tracks - of her range and versatility as both artist and performer. Tears calcify in "Dynasty," a song like a salve to wounds inherited from generations past. The heaviness of the music never overshadows her voice, which ascends heroically. "Won't you break the chain with me?" she belts out.
    As if turning the other cheek, Sawayama swiftly moves into the sweet, cha-ching pop of "XS," and later the soft-hearted ballad "Chosen Family," rendered in the style of her 2021 collaboration with Elton John. The song was reborn, in part, because of John's admiration for Sawayama and her ability to cross-pollinate genres, but also because the two held "Chosen Family," both the song and concept, dearly. Funny enough, the song's thesis - "I chose you / You chose me" - reflects their meeting, too.

      I know right! But I have never seen someone who has grown up in Asian country making it big abroad...they HAVE to be spending their childhood in Europe or USA. I am an aspiring songwriter, I have tried to send my demos to people but no one's responded. There could be many reasons though,like it's not that good,or my language(though that's not a good reason),or maybe they aren't interested in an Asian boy☹️ Even Rina had to make the ep and the album all by herself,no record labels tried to sign her...I think racism is also a factor...but who knows what is the actual matter 😣

    Rina has improved A LOT vocally wow. In her first tour you couldn't even hear her sometimes and her breath control wasn't very good. Now she's 100% confident and her vocal control is mesmerizing. Such an example for other artists. Hard work isn't refutable.
    Also, I love that all her TV/COVID performances this year have been 100% LIVE, unlike all the other artists which were pre recorded "live" vocals montaged into a music video.

    • @ShikariHybryd
      @ShikariHybryd Před 3 lety +93

      Yeah, 100%. I've been a fan since I heard Cherry back in '18 but always felt like the studio production massively outshone her live performances. Now it seems like she has reached the standard that she originally set out to achieve. I am very happy for her and all of the success so far is well deserved but it definitely feels like this is just the beginning and there are going to be a lot of really awesome things to come. Looking forward to being able to see her live again when concerts come back!
