Ascendant pop star Rina Sawayama has dropped the perfect anti-Valentine’s Day song for those who won’t be participating in today’s traditional festivities.
Drawing inspiration from her 90s heroes, the Japanese artist sings about a fleeting love affair on the new track Valentine (What’s It Gonna Be), and is designed as “an anti-Valentine song for those who want a little no strings attached action” on a day that celebrates “the boring age old narrative of heterosexual monogamy”.
The song is her first new material since 2017’s mini-album RINA, which features the singles Alterlife and Cyber Stockholm Syndrome.
Stream Valentine (What’s It Gonna Be) below, then read Crack’s Aesthetic feature with the rising pop star, and listen to an exclusive playlist curated by Sawayama.
