British-Japanese Pop Sensation RINA SAWAYAMA has been raring to go and after several setbacks during the Pandemic, is now in high gear on her Dynasty Tour. The Tour in support of her debut album SAWAYAMA has been selling-out city to city and in many instances requiring venue upgrades.
Sawayama played a 16-song set spanning material from her debut EP, latest Disc and new unreleased material. She even got the Toronto audience to sing her mother in Japan, “Happy Birthday”!
The talented Entertainer spreads a message of self-love and acceptance, especially to those who deal with prejudice on the daily. She sported a rainbow flag during her track “Chosen Family” reaffirming herself proudly pansexual. The Track also has been released as a duet version with Elton John. We were thoroughly impressed how polished a show she put on and the audience couldn’t have had more fun!
After collaborating with Lady Gaga on a Remix of “Free Woman“, Sawayama is rumoured to be joining the icon on her upcoming Chromatica Tour this Summer.
Some snaps from Sawayama’s second ever show in Toronto, and first show at HISTORY. We did meet her quickly earlier in the day although she was in a rush, waving over. One day we’ll get that Selfie!
See Sawayama perform “Happy Birthday” with the audience, and “Cherry“, which she calls her ‘coming out song’.

2020 was a year indeed, but despite being filled with one tough blow after another, Music was there for us to guide us through these challenging times. While some of the year’s biggest smash hits turn back to the drumbeats and synths of the ’80s for inspiration, this is a good thing as that nostalgia translates to happiness and dancing.
While nothing beats a great Music Video, we’re seeing that the success of a single doesn’t necessarily depend on a flashy video. In fact, Megan Thee Stallion‘s hit “Savage” only has a Lyric Video and an Animated Video, but its exposure on TikTok helped propel it into the stratosphere of success.
And on the other side of things, Taylor Swift continues to top album sales charts without any definitive hit single. Times are changing on the musical landscape and more than ever on the Billboard Hot 100 we’re seeing songs from previous years land in the 2020 Hot 100 which either is a sign of people latching onto familiar things for comfort, or maybe chart criteria perhaps needs a deeper look.
Below are our Top Ten favourite singles of 2020! What are yours? Tweet us at @mrwillw!
1. Midnight Sky – Miley Cyrus
2. Rain on Me – Lady Gaga ft. Ariana Grande
3. Break My Heart – Dua Lipa
4. Say So – Doja Cat
5. Adore You – Harry Styles
6. ily – Surf Mesa ft. Emilee
7. How You Like That – Blackpink
8. August – Taylor Swift
9. Savage – Megan Thee Stallion
10. Naked – Ava Max

This was so epic and made it so much better that we have to wait another year for Lady Gaga’s Chromatica Ball. We were originally to see her in August!
See Gaga‘s superb performance at the 2020 MTV VMAs last night, joined by Ariana Grande in a show of Pop excellence in a performance of their track RAIN ON ME. IN MASKS! This was legit as you can hear the reverb coming out of her mask as she sang.
We’re floored. So good.
Gaga swept for Cinematography, Song, Collaboration, Artist of the Year and the TRICON Award! Well-deserved.
Other great performances last night:
DOJA CAT – Say So
BTS perform their debut English single DYNAMITE
THE WEEKND – Blinding Lights
MILEY CYRUS – Midnight Sky

Lady Gaga is back with her sixth Studio Disc CHROMATICA a cinematic ’80s and ’90s-inspired Album returning the superstar once again to the world of Electronic-Pop. The cohesive collection, split into three sections, marked by interludes Chromatica I, II and III, takes us away on a escape to the planet on which Gaga resides, packed with jaw-dropping collaborations. The likes of Ariana Grande, whom we’ve heard on superb second single Rain on Me, Elton John and K-Pop queens Blackpink appear on the Chromatica and while the Album has been pushed-back amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the wait proved worthwhile.
Joanne Collaborator BloodPop returns once again in a Producer capacity and this marriage proves a beautiful union as Gaga stands her ground, but also gives him a proper chance to shine.
We’re thrilled to hear Gaga back doing what she does best and we are excited for this uplifting era and pandemic permitting, hopefully it won’t be too long a wait to see the Album’s eponymous stadium tour.
Preview some of Chromatica‘s highlights:
RAIN ON ME (ft. Ariana Grande)
