‘XS’ is joined on new album ‘SAWAYAMA’ by recent singles ‘Comme des Garçons (Like The Boys)’, ‘STFU!’ and ‘Chosen Family’.
Giving the debut album a five-star review, NME wrote: “From raucous nu-metal to glittering R&B, ‘SAWAYAMA’ is an honest, genre-exploding self-portrait. Drawing on every aspect of her identity, Sawayama creates an expansive musical account of her personal history, all bolstered by her impressive experimental song-writing techniques. And on top of that, she’s somehow managed to make nu-metal sound effortlessly cool.”
After postponing a series of imminent gigs in support of the album, Sawayama has now announced rescheduled dates for the tour. View the dates below.
