Sagiri Sól Releases Long-Awaited Single 'next to your love' After Hiatus

Sagiri Sól's Comeback with 'next to your love'

On August 5, 2026, the talented singer-songwriter Sagiri Sól will release her latest single titled "next to your love," marking her return after a hiatus of approximately nine months due to vocal cord nodules. The upcoming release, which follows her previous single "dead end love" from November 2025, showcases the artistic growth and resilience of this extraordinary artist.

Collaborating with the producer SPENSR, "next to your love" is a heartfelt mid-tempo ballad infused with elements of Neo Soul. The arrangement showcases live instruments, creating an inviting warmth that complements Sagiri Sól's powerful and expansive vocals. The production minimizes the use of electronic elements, allowing her rich voice to shine through.

The lyrics explore themes of love received from cherished ones, intertwining feelings of loss and regret while illustrating the journey forward with that love in one's heart. Specifically, the phrase "next to your love" acts as a symbolic motif, emphasizing not the act of overcoming separation, but rather living on with the love that has been given, illuminating the path ahead.

In addition to her new single, Sagiri Sól plans to release new music every month until the end of the year, ushering in a brand-new phase in her musical career. This commitment to consistent art production is exciting for fans who have eagerly awaited her return.

Sagiri Sól is also scheduled to perform live in a one-night-only event titled "BACK TO MY ROOTS featuring Sagiri Sól" at TimeOut Café & Diner on September 26, 2026. This performance will delve into her musical roots and unique cultural background. Originally slated for May 8, 2026, the show was postponed due to her health issues stemming from vocal cord nodules. The new performance date brings a sense of anticipation as she prepares a deeply personal experience for her audience, celebrating her influences and the multifaceted styles that define her music.

In her own words, Sagiri Sól reflects on the creation of "next to your love":

"I wrote this song before my vocal cord nodules in May, and after taking a two-month break, it felt like the song mirrored exactly what I was feeling during that time.

> During my hiatus, I encountered many people and lots of love. No matter how sad things could be or how painful separations awaited, our lives continue to move forward. Therefore, I want to live with the love I've received throughout my life. I believe that love will illuminate my future. I wrote this song with that sentiment in mind, and I hope it can provide some solace to someone out there."
