NayutaMaybe they waiting on clearance on things or something, but that's a long ass album rollout with the first single dropping now. For 2022, that's crazy
yeah it’s the same thing Charli did for her Crash album, my guess is they’re waiting for the vinyl to get made before they release it but still want to start the rollout

Hold the Girl is an eclectic 13 tracks ordered to chart a journey of emotional growth from pain through revelations to existing in a healthier place. Her trauma is contained in the album – and she’s sure that some fans will be able to deduce what it is – but she doesn’t want to speak about it yet. “For me, it’s important that the listener is able to listen to it as a pop record first without that background, and make their own feelings about it,” she says. “And then, when I’m ready, I think I will be able to talk about what it’s actually about.” What she is happy to talk about is that the album focuses on the idea of “re-parenting yourself”, something Sawayama believes she did with some success through therapy. The self-help definition of re-parenting is to give yourself what you didn’t receive as a child – in her case, from her Japanese mother who raised her as a single parent in London, where she didn’t speak the language. If there is a tiny child (“inner child”) within us all, it’s screaming out for love and attention, demanding that its needs be met.

Even when her subject matter is hyper-specific, Sawayama strives for some level of universality. “Being kicked out of your home for being gay is not something that most of the world experiences, but that feeling of parental rejection is,” she says. “I always try to keep the chorus more universal, generic, so it’s easy to understand, and then try to tell a story in the verses.” As she prepares a new album, she says, “That’s something that I’ve really amped up for this next record, and I will continue to do. If I can heal someone around me or someone that I don’t know with the songs I write, and I’ve been given an opportunity to do so, why wouldn’t I take it? There are so many songs out there in the world, it kind of turns into noise, and I just want to do meaningful work,” she says. After all, “as we saw from the last two years, we might die at any moment.” Sawayama laments the fact that in the UK, “there’s been a big shift toward transphobia. And it’s just like, I cannot believe that trans people are the scapegoat now. It feels like at one point, it was immigrants, and now it’s trans people.... It has real-life consequences,” she adds, pointing to the higher suicide rates among the trans population. “I don’t have confidence that I can change legislation,” she says, “but if I can provide music that makes people feel happier, then that’s what I want to do.”

Thanks to therapy (“we love therapy”), boundaries are something Sawayama has been practicing. They’re in place when it comes to the new album, too, which she’s resisting the urge to overexplain. “With this record, there’s a lot of personal things explored in it. But what’s beautiful about music and art is that there’s space for people to create their own perceptions and connect to it in their own way. And I don’t want to fill the narrative around the album so much that people can’t listen to it any other way.” How much she keeps for herself and how much she shares publicly is “a constant thought in progress… I want to put out intentional things into the world,” she says. “So, if it doesn’t feel right to me, I’m not going to do it.” In this way, she embodies both an auterish avant-garde sensibility and the potential for mega-pop stardom; as much living proof as a driver of a rapidly and thankfully changing music landscape. Although she didn’t dream of fame, Sawayama’s aspirations are clear – and don’t expect her to compromise. “I don't want to be a niche artist,” she says. “I want to write huge songs. But I don’t want to lose what’s important to me.”
