Last month Rina Sawayama made her feature film debut in John Wick Chapter 4. Her turn as Akira won praise from co-star Keanu Reeves â who told NME that Sawayama was a “really open artist” and “so curious [and] personal” â and critics alike; but it wasn’t just her acting skills Sawayama brought to the franchise, as the multi-hyphenate also contributed a song to the film’s soundtrack which plays in the film’s end credits.
The grunge-flecked ‘Eye For An Eye’ is a belter. Meshing Sawayama’s distinctive vocals with scuzzy guitars and industrial production, it’s a stadium-shaking offering from the artist. ‘Eye For An Eye’ makes its way straight to the NME Radio A List this week, with other new additions to the playlist including the return of V V Brown, a choice cut from Depeche Mode‘s new album âMemento Moriâ, and the latest taste of Olivia Dean‘s upcoming record ‘Messy’.
