Check out rinasawayama's new track 'Comme Des Garçons (Like the Boys)'
On Friday , Sawayama announced the release of her long-awaited debut album,. Due April 17 via Dirty Hit, the album promises to be the star's most personal offering to date, as the singer navigates cultural dynamics, familial discord and much more. In a statement released with the news, Sawayama said she wanted to create an album that paints a full picture of herself, even if the picture is a little messy.
To celebrate the news, Sawayama also shared her latest single from the album, titled"Comme Des Garçons ", a pulsating disco-dance track that sees the rising star claiming her place as the badass she knows she is. "Excuse my ego, can't go incognito/ Every time you see me it’s like winning big in Reno," she spits.
Sawayama said in a statement that she wanted to emulate the confidence she's seen exhibited by gay men around the world, rather than taking on the more toxic view of their straight counterparts."I wanted on one hand to lyrically explore the idea of people having to adopt negative male tropes to appear confident, whilst on the other sonically paying homage to the early 2000s dance tracks that made me feel confident," she said.
Following her announcement, on Wednesday , Sawayama dropped her video for"Comme Des Garçons." Throughout the clip, Sawayama is seen being scanned and examined in a space-age lab, before transforming into a high fashion look and being literally propped up by throngs of men surrounding her in a multicolored landscape.
In a statement released with the new video, the singer said that she wanted to explore not just masculinity, but its performance in society."Male confidence can quite often be a performance - in the media, in the workplace, in movies, in music and that's what I wanted to explore with this video with Eddie and Ben ."Sawayama
