Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor Rina Sawayama is one of a handful of artists who released an album just as the pandemic was beginning and watched, astonished, as their stars rose during lockdown. The Japanese-British singer’s debut, “Sawayama,” was a wild fusion of Lady Gaga with nu-metal guitars, but also showed a penchant for sentimental ballads amid the power chords and intensity. The album won a co-sign from none other than Elton John, and its videos got her cast in the fourth installment of Keanu Reeves’ “John Wick” series, due in March. In fact, Elton was one of many people who spoke out against Sawayama’s exclusion from eligibility for England’s BRIT and Mercury awards because she isn’t a U.K. citizen, even though she’s lived in England since the age of 5. After #SawayamaIsBritish became a trending topic on Twitter, the British Phonographic Industry changed the eligibility rules to include anyone who lived in the country for at least five years, including her.

Mykki Blanco has released the latest single from their upcoming album, ‘Stay Close To Music’, a track called ‘Pink Diamond Bezel’.“I am always hoping to create a new alchemy for my sound and for my entire career I have been experimenting with how far I can push rap – from the production to the musical choices to the inspirations”, says Blanco. “Much of my new album and last year’s ‘Broken Hearts & Beautysleep’ is a departure from anything I had done in the past and I hadn’t really made a hip-hop track in years when I wrote ‘Pink Diamond Bezel.’ The song feels as if it’s the love child of Pharrell Williams and The Neptunes as much as Jack White”.“When I think about the vibe of ‘Pink Diamond Bezel’ I imagine a stretch limousine riding through snow-capped mountains, drinking Kahula and cream with a group of friends in cashmere sweaters, very après-ski, then out of nowhere a shaman appears in the middle of the road, the car halts – a spell is cast, the road catches fire, and we’re forced to kneel in supplication to the forces of nature”, they go on.

Hamish Hawk has announced that he will release his new album ‘Angel Numbers’ early next year, following on from 2021’s ‘Heavy Elevator’.Out now is new single ‘Think Of Us Kissing’, of which Hawk says: “’Think Of Us Kissing’ comes at you like a cannonball.
