first single This Hell is coming very soon - teaser posters are already popping up IRL so it can't be long. lyrics:

Saw a poster on a corner opposite the motel
Turns out I'm going to hell if I keep on being myself

 

[COB]

Ready to be engulfed in hellfire for my Queen!

 

[Jark]

[Cerro de Casa]

OMGGGG

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Hottest Record on Radio 1 on Wednesday so the single will be released about 6:10pm

 

[Jark]

this leaked and those who indulged say it is extremely Shania Twain

 

[Jark]

OK I listened and it's proper shit ddd.

 

[COB]

OMG love it:

 

[COB]

It's Shania meets Born This Way (album not song), and it's amazing

 

[Penelope]

This is the HOG'S TITS!

 

[GNL]

SO GOOD.

Rina Sawayama (Country Road Version)

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Queen

 

[dUb]

What's NOT TO LIKE!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Absolutely amazing!

Wow. That's hot.

 

[RJN]

She can do so many different genres so well. I love it

 

[Kratz]

This is fucking amazing!

 

[octophone]

The tour is interesting - 2 nights at SWG3 is an odd move; I can only assume Barrowlands and O2 Academy weren't available on a suitable date. Bit of a serve doing a two-nighter.

 

[cwej]

Absolutely obsessed with this and now seeing her at Brixton and it might be the best thing I’ve ever decided in my life ever. She is incredible!

(Apart from the ‘Let’s go girls’ at the start which IS Shania verbatim, the rest of the song is far more Gaga than Twain to me)

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Just grabbed tickets for her too. She was our first gig following THE EVENT, and it was one of the best I'd ever been to. Such a good way to get back into live music

 

[VoR]

The charts are so confusing these days that I have no idea what success looks like for someone like Rina, but I'm a little disappointed this doesn't look like it's going to see any chart action.

 

[cwej]

It's shocking that it isn't.

 

[Jark]

Rina has literally never charted with her own music and this song is as niche gay interest as can be... I have to assume @OutSynk was deploying subtle sarcasm there

Is @OutSynk in the room with us?

 

[Jark]

[cwej]

I was literally so confused..!

I fucking love it like I love everything about her.

 

[dUb]

New single. Pleasant enough but edgy it ain’t

 

[GNL]

The beautiful, beautiful Corrs-lite

 

[ZenGiraffe]

New single. Pleasant enough but edgy it ain’t

This is the one she debuted in Glasgow and it is lovely for what it is.

I'll give it a single stream and never listen again though.

 

[Jark]

this is very bland. I read comparisons to In Blue era Corrs and I HAD to LAUGH

 

[Cerro de Casa]

this is very bland. I read comparisons to In Blue era Corrs and I HAD to LAUGH

Is that meant to be.... a good thing? LOL

 

[COB]

The new one is very cute (and obviously better than the work of the insane Jim Corr) but I am hoping for something a bit SPIKIER from her next. More metal please Miss Rina!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

It's not romantic here in blue
Swimming, swimming in blue
You left me lonely and confused
Question, questioning you
So soon goodbye you stole my heart
Believe, believing you
Was it a lie right from the start
Answer, answer me do

 

[cwej]

I fucking love it like I love everything about her.

But I do not love this new one. Bland.

Next.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

She just released the title track

 

[COB]

This is fucking BLINDING

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Love it so much


12/10
