'Thinking some NEW MUSIC BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR might be cute,' Sawayama wrote

Pop singer Rina Sawayama took to her social media account today November 21 to tease the possibility of brand-new music which she plans to release before the end of 2020.

Along with a photo of the singer laying down with her back arched shared on both her Instagram and Twitter accounts, Sawayama wrote, "just relaxing in this comfy cosy position thinking some NEW MUSIC BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR might be cute." Check out Rina Sawayama's teaser and photo below.

Fans have been quick to share their excitement with many speculating as to what the exact material will be. "Omg@i’ll pass out plz," said a fan while another wrote in all caps, "IM SO F**KING EXCITED." Comments on both Twitter and Instagram are filled with hopes for Sawayama's long-awaited track 'Lucid'. "RELEASE LUCID THEN," said a fan. 

One fan wrote, "LUCID IS COMING." Another fan added, "LUCID STANS RISE." Other fans are anticipating a deluxe version for her self-titled debut studio album. One fan notes, "sawayama deluxe would save 2020." Meanwhile, several fans are loving the photo. "Girl... you’re gorgeous and new music before the end of the year would be VERY cute," says a fan.

"Chiropractors hate her," jokes a fan on Instagram. For those unfamiliar with the song, 'Lucid' has been teased as far back as May 2020.  In an interview with Twitch streamer HANAWINS in July, Sawayama confirmed that 'Lucid' would be a non-album single and that it is getting a "performance video." She said, "I just filmed... I don't want to say it's a music video, it's more like a music performance video because it's using this very interesting technology. Basically, it's social-distance-compliant and it's one of the few socially-distant-compliant studios in London. And I filmed it across two weeks, and so it's quite hardcore, but, yeah, it's for a non-album single." Sawayama then went on to say that she planned to release it before the end of summer.

Sawayama actually teased the sound of the track during her DJ set performance at a 'Minecraft' virtual concert in May. You can watch a snippet of the 'Minecraft' concert and 'Lucid' by clicking here.

As far as a deluxe version for 'Sawayama', the singer hasn't made any previous announcements or teased the possibility. If we are to hazard a guess based on her latest teaser, the usage of the word "music" and not the specific mention of "song" could allude to the plural form of new material and not singular. Either way, Rina Sawayama dropping more music is sure to be epic. Be sure to stay tuned for more updates or check out her social media in the days to come.
