“I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for sharing the #SAWAYAMAISBRITISH campaign worldwide and igniting this important conversation about Britishness.”at Metacritic.com, the review aggregation site. Sawayama, 30, was born in Japan, but emigrated with her family to Britain when she was 5. She has indefinite leave to remain status in the U.K., which gives her permanent residency and the right to live and work in the country. But she’s not a British citizen.
“I’m signed to a U.K. label [Dirty Hit]. I’ve lived here uninterrupted for the last 25 years. I’m only tax-registered in this country. The whole album was recorded in the U.K. -- as well as in L.A. It was mixed in the U.K. My lyrics are in English, except for one verse in one song.
