Elizabeth Gabrielle Lee

**Elizabeth Gabrielle Lee** (b. 1994) is an artist, researcher and writer based between London and Singapore. Her practice is guided by the iterations of slow violence and the dynamic between the ‘near’ and ‘elsewhere’. In attempting to disarm instruments of knowledge production, her practice shies away from reduction and completion. Steering away from essentialisms, she is interested in once-forgotten micro and muted narratives. By revisioning fractured traditions, she engages with visual and textual interventions to navigate the nuances of perception and retention.

Lee also runs XING, a research platform centered on the poetics and politics of Southeast and East Asian art practices. Assuming form of a shapeshifter, it morphs between localities and temporalities; with(in)flux. A domain of not-yet possibilities, the platform attempts to dismantle matrices concerned with the region from non-dominant perspectives.

## Lyrics

You know

It's not all it seems

Underneath it all

We're all human beings

Girl on the screen lookin' mean

I never woulda guessed that we'd be friends

Oh, but you don't want to be seen

With me

I wanna see what you see

We're living in a world that’s full of hate

Oh, but you don't care what they say

Do you?

Because

I'm just an ordinary superstar

So far but always hanging where you are

I'm just an ordinary superstar

I'm just like you

I'm just an ordinary superstar

So far but always hanging where you are

I'm just an ordinary superstar

I'm just like you

Don't you wanna be ordinary with me?

Don't you wanna be ordinary with me?

Don't you wanna be ordinary with me?

Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be?

Girl on the screen, you're a queen

But you're livin' in a cloud where there's no rain

Oh, what if it all went away

Today?

(Then what's left inside?)

Because

I'm just an ordinary superstar

So far but always hanging where you are

I'm just an ordinary superstar

I'm just like you (I'm human too)

You're just an ordinary superstar

So far removed from who you really are

You're just an ordinary superstar

So look at me, oh, I

I'm doing this for myself only

Or so I thought

I'm just an ordinary superstar

So far but always hanging where you are (Where you are)

I'm just an ordinary superstar

I'm just like you (I'm human too)

Don't you wanna be ordinary with me? (Superstar)

Don't you wanna be ordinary with me? (Where you are)

Don't you wanna be ordinary with me? (Superstar)

I'm just like you

Don't you wanna be ordinary with me?

Don't you wanna be ordinary with me?

Don't you wanna be ordinary with me?

Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be?

## 11 November 2021: *Together*

In November 2021, Balmain and (RED) launched "The Together Project", celebrating universal stories of love, intimacy and friendship, focusing on the relationships between different artists and the people who are most important to them (lovers, parents, family, best friends).

For the first edition of the project, Evangelia Kranioti photographed and filmed *Together*, a series capturing eclectic subjects and their loved ones, "set in bed as a unique way of translating vulnerability and intimacy." Rina Sawayama was one of the subjects, accompanied by her mother Noriko. *Together* was displayed inside the Balmain stand during the 2021 Paris Photo through 11-14 November.

> *The films record the subjects’ most intimate musings on the beauty of affection and intimacy—while adding more poignant and sometimes darker reflections on fears, tragedies, disease, rejection and fragility. Kranioti has chosen to set the subjects in bed as it is an intimate space where people are often most vulnerable yet connected to their self and companion.*

Some limited-edition images for the project, photographed by Kranioti, were available for sale with its proceeds dedicated to (RED) to help the organization raise needed money for The Global Funds’ essential work in fighting AIDS and COVID in sub-Saharan Africa.

But we got credit cards (We like to party)

We deserve a holiday

'Cause we're working way too hard (We like to party)

(No)

Money, money, we like to party

Money, money, money, that bees and honey

Money, money, we like to party

Gimme, gimme, gimme that bees and honey

Money, money, we like to party

Money, money, money, that bees and honey

Money, money, we like to party

Gimme, gimme, gimme that bees and honey

We don't have job security

Just hustlin' on the side (We like to party)

It's a gig economy

But we still got our pride

(No)

Money, money, we like to party

Money, money, money, that bees and honey

Money, money, we like to party

Gimme, gimme, gimme that bees and honey

Money, money, we like to party

Love It If We Made It

Song by Rina Sawayama

"**Love It If We Made It**" is a cover recorded by Rina Sawayama and produced by Clarence Clarity, of the song originally sung and written by Rina's labelmate band The 1975, released in 2018 as part of the band's third album *A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships*.

## Background

Sawayama covered this song in May 2020 as part of The 1975's takeover of *The Face* magazine. "We asked some of the band's friends to cover songs from their back catalogue."

The song was eventually included on the deluxe edition of Rina's debut album *Sawayama*, released on 4 December 2020. It is also included on the album's remix EP, *Sawayama Remixed*.

## Media

### Video

Rina Sawayama covers 'Love It If We Made It' – The Face
## Lyrics

We're fucking in a car, shooting heroin

Saying controversial things just for the hell of it

Selling melanin and then suffocate the black men

Start with misdemeanours and we'll make a business out of them

And we can find out the information

Access all the applications

That are hardening positions based on miscommunication

Oh, fuck your feelings

Truth is only hearsay

We're just left to decay

Modernity has failed us

And I'd love it if we made it

Yes, I'd love it if we made it

Yes, I'd love it if we made it, oh

Yes, I'd love it if we made it, no, no

Poison me, daddy

I got the Jones right through my bones

Write it on a piece of stone

A beach of drowning three-year olds

Rest in peace Lil Peep

The poetry is in the streets

Jesus save us

Modernity has failed us

And I'd love it if we made it

Yes, I'd love it if we made it, yeah

Yes, I'd love it if we made it, no

Yes, I'd love it if we made it

Yes, I'd love it if we made it

Yes, I'd love it if we made it

Yes, I'd love it if we made it

Yes, I'd love it if we made it

Tell me something I didn't know

Consultation

Degradation

Fossil fueling

Masturbation

Immigration

Liberal kitsch

Kneeling on a pitch

"I moved on her like a bitch!"

Excited to be indicted

Unrequited house with seven pools

"Thank you, Kanye, very cool!"

The war has been incited

And guess what, you're all invited

And you're famous

Modernity has failed us

And I'd love it if we made it

And I'd love it if we made it

And I'd love it if we made it

Tell me something I didn't know

And I'd love it if we made it

And I'd love it if we made it

Yes, I'd love it if we made it

And I'd love it if we made it, made it

And I'd love it if we made it

The Dynasty Tour/Interludes

Rina Sawayama's concert tour The Dynasty Tour (2021–22), associated to her debut studio album *Sawayama* (2020), started on 8 November 2021 at the Academy in Dublin, Ireland. The tour featured two visual interludes directed and edited by Chester Lockhart, who also creative directed the tour.

## Interlude II

The second interlude comes after the performance of "Cherry", after Sawayama and her band and backup dancers walk offstage.
Alone Together (EP)

***Alone Together*** is an unreleased extended play by Rina Sawayama, written and recorded from 2014 to 2016. The EP was programmed to be released in 2016, but it was canceled for unknown reasons. Sawayama eventually released her debut EP *Rina* in 2017.

For the project, Sawayama released two singles: "Tunnel Vision" and "Where U Are". A third release titled "Love Tonight", was canceled along with its recorded music video, directed by Ali Kurr.

## Background

Sawayama revealed the "concept extended play" title in an interview for Babyface. She said it is "based around similar themes of our 21st century life online."

In a February 2016 interview with *Dazed* magazine, Sawayama revealed that she would be releasing the extended play soon that year. "It's not finished yet – I'd say it's about 80% done, but it keeps going back and forth because I'm being a perfectionist."

Sawayama told to *i-D* that the EP is mostly about "how we sit spending time on our phones, contextualized into a love story."

> Studies have shown that young people are more depressed and anxious and have lower self-confidence than generations that grew up without the internet. It's really interesting because there's no musician talking about it. There's a lot of 'internet music' out there, but it only sounds like the internet technologically. I wanted to make music that was inspired by the unashamed pop I listen to from the early 00s like Mariah and Justin Timberlake, but that still means something. Maybe it's because I studied politics, but I always feel like everything has to have real meaning.
>
>

## Title

   The EP title might be inspired after the book *Alone Together* by American author and sociologist Sherry Turkle, published in 2011. In the book, Turkle explores how technology is changing the way people interact.

A copy of the book owned by Sawayama can be seen in the music video of "Where U Are", song about living in a digitally-driven world focused on ego and social media.
