Rina Sawayama dropped a new song called “LUCID” Wednesday in anticipation of her forthcoming deluxe edition of SAWAYAMA.
“LUCID” is a hypnotic dance anthem, complete with several build-ups to electro-pop instrumental breaks. It is the latest standout in Sawayama’s impressive discography, as it only seems to raise the bar higher for her future releases.
Sawayama explained more about the song’s creation:
It’s about living a different life through dreaming, whether it’s to be with the dream girl or to be the dream girl. Me and Lauren Aquilina wrote this together on the floor of my tiny rented living room back in early 2018. BloodPop sent us the beat and the melody flowed out so easily that I remember at one point I started hoovering cos i knew this would be easy to write lol. I’ve kept this song secret for 2 years so I’m so excited to finally release it to the world! 2020’s been a tough year so I wanted to finish it off with a dance bop to take us into a more hopeful 2021.
