The capacity of human intelligence seems to limit the capabilities to expand upon any possible
creative aptitudes. Indeed, if one cannot even notice the facets that the ingenuities around him
are comprised of, how can he be expected to fashion a beast of his own" This inveterate sense of
constraint is a great blow to the veracity of mankind’s abilities. It restrains us and holds our
minds to the ground below, averting any possibility of rising above ourselves to something
greater; something not fathomed by the conventional mind. This concept of seeking to go beyond
one’s self, known as “transcendence”, is essentially a gateway to unlocking pieces of ourselves
that can lead to some of the most elaborate and significant creations of our world. For many, this
quest to transcend and form creations that were once considered unthinkable and overwhelming
consumes life. Certainly it is rare to find such people, but when they are found, creative
barriers are destroyed.

this mini album is sooo smooth, catchy and dreamy, the production is ACE and RINA's voice is gorgeous, each track is a banger, and thanks to the concise length, continuity and flow.......... its so easy to play over and over, damn, some best music of the year!

One of the greatest collection of pop tunes ever. Cyber Stockholm Syndrome is one of the greatest songs of all time.

Slaps. Catchy pop anthems garnished by cold R&B beats and noughties guitar riffs, now this sounds like the best 2000s throwback! Thanks to a slick production - courtesy of Clarence Clarity - the album moves from one influence to another, while leaving enough space for other elements to come in (those pulsating beats accentuating the rhythm on closer "Cyber Stockholm Syndrom" damn). It's when these more subtle elements signify their presence that the record truly affirms its place among the pop bangers pantheon.

From the immediate, glistening opening, RINA is a captivating, fully modern pop EP. It feels both intimately familiar yet still fresh for anyone that lived and listened through the 00?s era radio hits. Take the boisterous, pop-punk guitars that come in Ordinary Superstar, the ice-cold R&B beats accompanying the duet on Tunnel Vision, or the shimmering, layered rock of Alterlife: this feels less like a single artist and more like a synthesis of two decades of hits. Like a reunion tour of your favorite bands from yesterday, but each song is reworked, reimagined, and delivered with exceptional skill and clarity by Rina Sawayama.

74/100. The production is fantastic and Rina is an incredible singer, yet somehow many of these tracks failed to leave an
impression on me. While this certainly stands out in the blandness of today's pop scene, this EP ultimately lacks the
catchiness and hooks that makes pop great. Really look forward to where Rina goes from here.

One foot in yesteryear, another drenched in the catacombs of today... and two hands that have only now entered the future. Based out of London and born in Japan, model/singer-songwriter Rina Sawayama's debut EP is a very nice collection of tracks that exude an R&B pop flavor heavily influenced by artists from the 90s era. From the beauteous vocal deliveries to intriguing songcraft concepts then all the way to some hot production values, RINA is short, but sweet; oh so enjoyably sweet. I only wish there was more to the recording, though as it stands now, I'd still dive into this product if I were you.
