Last week Sawayama shared a teaser of another song on the album called "Holy (Till You Let Me Go)".

Hold The Girl will follow her 2020 debut album SAWAYAMA, and will feature previous outings "Phantom", "Hold The Girl", "Catch Me In The Air" and "This Hell".

Earlier this month 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.

"Hurricanes" will be released at 6:30pm BST today (12 September). Rina Sawayama's Hold The Girl album will follow on Friday (16 September) via Dirty Hit, and is available to pre-order now.
