Rina Sawayama streams smooth new track “Where U Are”

“Online you can present your best edited self, and bypass lots of the messiness and awkwardness that comes with real human interactions. Your overheating phone substitutes human warmth. Weirdest of all- you’re together, but also very alone”.

All eyes on London-based Japanese singer and producer Rina Sawayama who is streaming a heartwarming and smooth new track, ‘Where U Are’. Speaking about the thoughts behind the track, Ri says; ‘Whether you’re doing long distance, or meeting people on a dating app, being catfished, or sexting- the characteristics of an online-based relationship are super interesting to me. Online you can present your best edited self, and bypass lots of the messiness and awkwardness that comes with real human interactions. Your overheating phone substitutes human warmth. Weirdest of all- you’re together, but also very alone”. ‘Where U Are’ is set for release alongside ‘Tunnel Vision’ later this year as part of the Alone Together EP.
