Swedish Idol alum San Sebastian, formerly known as Sebastian Rydgren, returns with his heartfelt single ‘Again and Again’. The track captures the emotional turmoil of clinging to a broken relationship, unable to let go of the past even when it means risking the same heartache all over again. Driven by a tender yet uplifting melody, the song marries lyrics steeped in vulnerability with a soundscape that feels almost optimistic- a clever contrast that reflects the complex duality of wanting to move forward but being held back by memories.
Sebastian’s journey to ‘Again and Again’ has been as captivating as the track itself. Bursting onto the scene as a fan favorite on Swedish Idol in 2022, the young artist may have fallen just short of the top prize, but he quickly caught the eye of iconic producer Anders Bagge, whose credits include collaborations with global stars like Madonna and Celine Dion. Bagge, recognising Sebastian’s potential, took him under his wing, connecting him with top industry names and ultimately signing him to the burgeoning label, Metronica.
With ‘Again and Again’, San Sebastian shows a depth that stretches beyond his years. Blending honesty with hope, he crafts a sound both intimate and universally resonant, making it clear why he’s one to watch. It’s only the beginning for San Sebastian, and with more music on the horizon, his evolution promises to be one worth following closely.
