Rina Sawayama has shared the first single from her forthcoming album ‘Hold The Girl’.Produced by Paul Epworth, ‘This Hell’ is described as a “joyous and roaring slice of pop-meets-country” which is “awash with glam rock riffs and lyrics that are peppered with tongue-in-cheek one-liners shouting out a pantheon of gay icons – Britney [Spears], Whitney [Houston] and Princess Di,” in a press release.“I had so much fun writing ‘This Hell,’ said Sawayama. “The past couple of years I’ve been listening to lots of female country singers and wanted to write a euphoric and tongue in cheek country pop song.
Country music at its core to me represents comfort, brilliant storytelling and authentic expression of the writer’s reality.
I put in as many iconic pop culture moments as I can, but the song is more than that.”She added: “It’s an important song for me given the human rights that are being taken away from minorities at a rapid rate in the name of traditional religious beliefs, more specifically I was thinking about the rights being taken away from the LGBTQ community when I wrote this song.
