Rina Sawayama - Hurricanes (Live) | Vevo Studio Performance

Rina Sawayama - Hurricanes. An exclusive live studio performance for Vevo.
No two Rina Sawayama songs sound the same. On her new ‘Hold The Girl' album, the English-Japanese singer blends cool choruses, gripping beats, and striking vocals - all cornerstones of catchiness - only to pepper them with left-of-center choices. Pop-punk pervades “Hurricanes." The radio-friendly title track devolves into an extended house breakdown. ‘Hold The Girl’ is reminiscent of ‘Born This Way’-era Gaga, if Gaga was scrolling memes at 2 a.m. Between the release of her critically acclaimed ‘SAWAYAMA’ debut from 2020 and today, Rina dove into therapy and self-help books. She says she arrived at a central question: “What makes you happy? What are your values?.” “Hold The Girl” searches for answers, and it’s impressive to see a pop artist look inward with such insight. Room for expression is key, too, and our London studio has plenty of it. Just like her songs, all of Rina’s Vevo performances look a little different: she head bangs through “Hurricanes,” square dances around the stage in “This Hell,” and executes intricate choreography on “Hold The Girl.” Rina always keeps us guessing, and we love the surprises she delivers.

Words can't describe how proud I am of Rina. I fell in love with her in late 2020 and seeing her grow as an artist and completely innovating herself with this album is just something so incredible to witness and seeing that she's finally getting the praise for her craft that she truly deserves is everything to me. So so proud of you Rina ♥

[@thejoaocouto]

the fact she's achieving all of this as an asian lgbt 30 year old woman in an industry that is way too unfair to people like her makes her accomplishments even more remarkable. she is so awesome

[@iDarze]

My comment got a lot of attention and I would like to make a little request.... So I've been just made aware of Flavour Of The Month and that it's a Japan exclusive bonus track. I need it. I like no, Rina you don't understand I really need that song on Spotify or somewhere, AND while we're at it I need the other japan excusive track from SAWAYAMA called Tokyo Takeover on Spotify as well. LIKE IM BEGGING PLEASE

[@13cherriess]

they told rina to “STOP” but she heard “SLAY” and went with it

[@Jacob42086]

Is this a drag race reference? 😂

[@lucagambarelli2904]

this comment is underrated

[@neozephyrus]

Who told her to stop?

[@rjs2035]

I was raised on this style of music, back when it was first popular. Rina choosing to tap into these nostalgic genres in a modern and fresh approach is why she is going to stay a fav of mine for a LONG TIME. This woman is a genre chameleon, and her storytelling is OFF THE CHARTS. Keep slaying, Rina, WE ARE OBSESSED WITH YOU ❤️‍🔥

[@_KungFuBarbie_]

I love her energy during live performances. She was born for this!

[@elliotwyatt1177]

Words can't describe how good this is. But numbers can and it's an 11/10 👌

[@nathanw0ng]

this reminded me of when I listened to the edge of glory for the first time. Revived and healing in the most iconic way possible. You are the greatest of all time Rina!

[@dancingonmy0wn]

[@rubi_jane]

Discovered her a month ago and I immediately searched for the nearest live concert, can't wait to hear this masterpiece live!

[@SLOTaholic]

This one is a grower - and this performance made the song more enjoyable for me. I need to do a deep dive into the lyrics to figure out the message 📚🤔

[@ryohry]

Rina with the fawking rock sound and her vocal range and taking off the coat and the big ass boots like….. Y E S. P L E A S E. And I love the guitarist and drummer feeling the vibe and having fun is soooooo good too!!

[@gowonism]

IM ABT TO PASS OUT THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAV SONG OF THE ALBUM SO FAR

[@layal3705]

the director told rina to “stay put” but she heard it “slay this” and just rolled with it

[@prismaze]

Queen of weather and rock

[@CammyWammy0313]

I got to hear her perform this song live before the album release at OutsideLands here in San Francisco. The crowd went bananas and was singing along by the second chorus 🥰🙌🏾💛

[@neilwritesstuff]

Rina is one of the most interesting pop girlies we've had in a long time 😍

[@kirylmazitau7526]

Why is every song such a hit? 😳😍

[@Jeremy-im2tc]

April showers finally making way for warmer weather But yet I still feel the same Doing yoga just to feel untethered, but my mind keeps Ru-ru-ru-running away Chasing hurricanes 'Cause I can't feel the rain Second guess my pain 'Cause I've been walking 'round in chains So won't you give me a sign if you're really there? 'Cause I've been lost inside waiting on a prayer Until I find your door, until the wind blows north I'm running, I'm running, running into hurricanes Always wanted to be best at everything Even when it brings out the worst in myself (worst in myself) So I create a storm and bury it deep, hiding the key In plain sight just in case I need help, help Chasing hurricanes 'Cause I can't feel the rain So won't you give me a sign if you're really there? 'Cause I've been lost inside waiting on a prayer Until I find your door, until the wind blows north I'm running, I'm running, running into hurricanes So won't you give me a ride? Be my getaway I'm not the girl I tried to be yesterday Until I find your door, until the wind blows north I'm running, I'm running, running into hurricanes Ooh Oh, I'm in a cyclone, I'm spinning Crashed through the floor Don't give me heaven, I'm flying Tearing down the doors of the city Ooh, you know I'm running, I'm running Running into hurricanes So won't you give me a sign if you're really there? 'Cause I've been lost inside waiting on a prayer Until I find your door, until the wind blows north I'm running, I'm running, running into hurricanes So won't you give me a ride? Be my getaway I'm not the girl I tried to be yesterday Until I find your door, until the wind blows north I'm running, I'm running, running into hurricanes

[@mamisaranghae7547]
