Akhil Sahni’s debut EP, "Puzzle", released on September 19th, is a compelling exploration of modern love, framed through the artist’s signature piano-led soulfulness. Following the success of his breakout single "Make You Love Me", Sahni expands his emotional palette across five tracks, blending contemporary pop introspection with heartfelt balladry reminiscent of John Mayer and Stephen Sanchez.
At its core, "Puzzle" delves into the intricacies of romance, heartbreak, and the elusive nature of connection. Each track presents a unique lens on relationships, capturing both the uplifting highs and the sometimes-painful lows of modern love. Sahni himself describes the EP as “a 5-track journey through the quest for a love that feels just out of reach- a search for 'the one' that always seems to have one missing piece of the puzzle. As modern relationships become more complex and layered with more variables than ever, you can meet the perfect person and yet still find that something’s in the way- distance, timing, family, circumstances… It’s never quite a complete picture.” This sentiment encapsulates the EP’s emotional depth, portraying love as a multifaceted, often imperfect experience.
Born and raised in New Delhi and now based in London, Sahni brings a global perspective to his music, subtly weaving his Indian roots into a contemporary pop framework. The EP demonstrates a remarkable emotional maturity for a twenty-two-year-old artist, with each song thoughtfully composed and delivered with soulful precision. "Puzzle" confirms Sahni’s status as a rising talent, promising further evolution and creative output as he continues to make his mark on the global music scene.
