Rina Sawayama is back with pop-country anthem This Hell
Sprinkled with classic ‘Rinaisms’ such as a spoken bridge section, metal guitar solos and sparkling vocal riffs, Rina Sawayama’s new single This Hell is an encapsulation of 21st century sounds and country pop.
This Hell is not short of pop culture references, nodding to Shania Twain and Paris Hilton with phrases such as “let’s go girls” and “that’s hot”, Sawayama has created a euphoric and timeless track.
Sawayama continually circulates back to the refrain, “This hell is better with you,” while dropping in iconic names such as Whitney Houston, Britney Spears and Princess Diana.
Rina sends rightful jabs at the paparazzi, yet alongside the repetition of “This hell is better with you” creates a sense of community between those mentioned, the audience and Rina herself.
