Ahead of her Hold The Girl album arriving next week, Rina Sawayama has shared a preview of another "dance banger" on the record titled "Holy (Till You Let Me Go)".

So far Sawayama has released four singles from her upcoming second album - "Phantom", "Hold The Girl", "Catch Me In The Air" and "This Hell" - and yesterday (7 September) on TikTok, she treated fans to a sneak preview of another track on the record titled "Holy (Till You Let Me Go)".

Sawayama said of the song, "It marks a turning point. It gets a little dark after this. It's a dance banger."

Hold The Girl will follow her 2020 debut album SAWAYAMA, and was written and recorded over the last ​​year and a half with help from Clarence Clarity, Lauren Aquilina, Paul Epworth (Adele, Florence & the Machine), Stuart Price (Dua Lipa, The Killers, Madonna) and Marcus Andersson (Demi Lovato, Ashnikko).

Last week Sawayama revealed that she had to get approval for "This Hell" from ABBA's Benny Andersson after realising the guitar riff sounded like their "Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" song.

Rina Sawayama's Hold The Girl album will arrive on 16 September via Dirty Hit, and is available to pre-order now.
