SAHXL – AGAIN: A Dark R&B & Soul Masterclass (New Single)

SAHXL Returns with “AGAIN”: The New Anthem for Dark R&B and Soul Lovers

Fresh off the heels of his breakout EP NEVERMIND and the viral success of “NOT THE ONE,” Western Sydney’s rising star SAHXL (pronounced “Sa-hil”) has dropped his latest single, “AGAIN.” Released on December 5, 2025, via broke/Def Jam, the track is a masterclass in atmospheric production and raw, unfiltered storytelling.

For fans of the “Trap-Soul” movement pioneered by artists like Bryson Tiller and the moody introspection of Brent Faiyaz, “AGAIN” is a must-add to your late-night rotation.

A Sound That Blends Dark R&B, Pop, and Soul

SAHXL has always been an artist who wears his heart on his sleeve, and “AGAIN” is no exception. The track perfectly encapsulates his signature sound: a hybrid of dark R&B, contemporary pop, and classic soul.

• The Production: Built on a foundation of echoing guitar loops, minimalist percussion, and wide reverb, the song creates a cinematic space that lets SAHXL’s vocals breathe.

• The Vocals: Sahxl utilizes his slinky, high-pitched register to convey a sense of vulnerability that feels both intimate and grand.

• The Vibe: It’s a “3 AM in the city” kind of record—moody, contemplative, and deeply emotional.

Channelling Raw Emotion

Since he began recording music in his bedroom at age 12 as a form of “emotional release,” SAHXL has been the “sadboy” of the Sydney scene. “AGAIN” explores the fragile cycle of heartbreak and the courage it takes to open up once more.

His lyrics don’t just tell a story; they “rhyme reality.” Whether he’s seething with romantic frustration or offering a slow-burning plea for trust, SAHXL captures the Gen-Z experience of navigating modern love and anxiety.

Why SAHXL is the Artist to Watch in 2026

With co-signs from The Kid LAROI and Ebro Darden, and as the first Australian artist to sign directly with Def Jam Recordings, SAHXL is no longer just a local hero. His performance at the Sydney Opera House for Vivid LIVE earlier this year proved he has the stage presence to match his studio precision.

“AGAIN” marks a new chapter for the Indo-Fijian Australian artist. He isn’t trying to sound like anyone else; he’s busy redefining the sound of Australian R&B for a global audience.
