Rina Sawayama Drops New ‘Frankenstein’ Music Video
Halloween came a little early this year. Rina Sawayama released a music video to “Frankenstein,” a track appearing on her second studio album, ‘Hold the Girl.’
Japanese-British singer Rina Sawayama teased fans last week when she announced that her Halloween pop masterpiece, “Frankenstein,” will be receiving a music video. Fast forward to October 27, and the Rated R “dirty hit” video arrived with a special disclaimer: “I don’t wanna be a monster.”
Sawayama’s sophomore record contained thirteen tracks and several music videos. The “Frankenstein” visual directed by Jak Payne transports viewers to a crazy house party with Sawayama not enjoying herself. However, that is all about to change once she gets to the bathroom, where she faces her glammed-up reflection. She sings to her reflection, “You’re the one / That can save me from myself,” which prompts the other version to crawl out of the mirror and take over the fun.
The Sawayama, in full glam, struts the whole house, dancing and having the time of her life. She is confident and ready to run the house.

The “Forgiveness” singer discussed the meaning behind “Frankenstein,” revealing, “I wanted to write about how I’ve relied on my partner to help put me back together, but I realized it’s no one’s job but mine.”
She elaborates more on the Hold the Girl songwriting process, expressing, “If I can heal someone around me or someone that I don’t know with the songs I write, and I’ve been given an opportunity to do so, why wouldn’t I take it?”
Rina Sawayama has done it again. Celebrate Halloween with Sawayama’s “Frankenstein.” Hold the Girl is available to stream on all major music platforms. You can watch the official music video below.
