Japanese-British singer-songwriter Rina Sawayama has released an album, an extended play, 15 singles and 10 music videos.

Sawayama's music career began in 2013, with the single "Sleeping in Waking." In June 2015, she released a music video, directed by Arvida Byström, to her track "Tunnel Vision." In 2016, she released the single "Where U Are," with an accompanying music video co-directed by Alessandra Kurr. In March 2017, her single "Cyber Stockholm Syndrome" premiered on The Fader.[1] In 2017, the singles "Alterlife" and "Tunnel Vision," a duet with Shamir, were released, followed by her debut mini-album Rina.[2][3] Sawayama was then an unsigned artist, and Rina was released independently; she confirmed on Twitter that she worked for two to three years in order to save money to release the EP.[4] The Guardian deemed the album "bracing and modern" and Sawayama as having proven she can shepherd pop into the future, too."[5] Pitchfork ranked the album in its list of best pop and R&B albums of the year.[6]

In August 2018, Sawayama released the track "Cherry", in which she explores her sexual identity.[7] Sawayama embarked on her Ordinary Superstar Tour across the UK and America in late 2018. In 2019, she was the support act for Charli XCX's tour across the UK.[8]

In 2020, after signing to Dirty Hit records, she released the singles "STFU!", a nu metal, heavy metal, pop and avant-pop song, and "Comme Des Garçons (Like The Boys)", an "homage to early 2000s dance tracks", both from her then-upcoming debut album.[9] A third single, the rock and 2000s R&B inspired "XS" was released on 2 March.[10] Her debut album Sawayama was released on 17 April to widespread critical acclaim.[11][12]
