Today multi-platinum singer-songwriter JP Saxe and indie-electronic producer Shallou release “I Haven’t Said Enough (Shallou Remix)” out now via Arista Records. The pair have joined together to bring brand new energy to the R.E.M. classic “Losing My Religion.”
JP Saxe and Shallou collaborate for the first time on the remix for “I Haven’t Said Enough” recently released on Make Yourself At Home, as it is now infused with Shallou’s atmospheric beat-driven production. On the story behind “I Haven’t Said Enough” JP Saxe explains, “I had these verses for months. I wanted them to feel devastatingly committed to remaining moved in the face of phone screen imagery that slow drip kills your willingness to feel like a human, but I couldn’t get that feeling right, and then one day in the studio I started singing R.E.M.’s ‘Losing My Religion’ along with my verses, and it was perfect. I asked them if I could use it, and to my immensely grateful surprise, they said yes. So, here’s my interpolation of one of my favorite songs of all time, at a time when remaining a big feeling person committed to compassion is getting increasingly complicated.”
Discussing collaborating with JP Saxe, Shallou shares, “JP has a rare ability to write lyrics and songs that seem to reach out from the speakers and grab you. In this case, I deeply resonated with the message of the song—and as a longtime fan of R.E.M., that connection ran even deeper. While most interpolations tend to fall flat for me, this one stood out as an excellent reinterpretation of the original concept, thoughtfully recontextualized for a modern audience. With the remix, all I aimed to do was enhance the beautiful elements already present—adding a bit of top-down, volume-all-the-way-up energy. The kind of sound you blast in the car letting those feelings of frustration pour out.”
Recently, Saxe shared his album Make Yourself At Home exploring universal emotions and experiences with charismatic vocals and relatable self-examination. While diving into themes of belonging, desire, and discipline, Saxe is unafraid of questioning his own desires and motivations. The album included, “STRANGERS” featuring Argentinian star TINI, a gorgeously tense and highly relatable song that balances nostalgia with acceptance for a relationship that’s run its course. The single is part of a run of tracks that perfectly pair thoughtful and bluntly real emotional exploration with evocative instrumentation throughout the two-part album.
Before that came Articulate Excuses singles including: “SAFE,” which explored masculinity in an R&B-kissed pop track co-written/produced by Malay (Frank Ocean, Lorde, FLETCHER); “SMARTPHONE MAKE ME DUMB,” a deeply vulnerable meditation on modern escapism; and “I WANNA MOVE TO BROOKLYN,” an apology for being the worst part of oneself turned into an addictive pop song.
In 2024, Saxe wrapped up his sold-out, headlining A Grey Area World Tour following his support of John Mayer’s 2023 arena run and the release of Saxe’s last album, A Gray Area. That reflective set was largely produced by Malay and included the single “I Don’t Miss You” with Mayer, plus collaborations with Latin-GRAMMY®-winning Colombian artist Camilo, the folk-pop trio Tiny Habits, and beloved singer-songwriter Lizzy McAlpine. The album garnered praise from Billboard, People, Forbes, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, and more.
Saxe shared a pair of performance LPs last year: A Grey Area (Live Sessions) — featuring acclaimed guest instrumentalists like Cory Henry and Tal Wilkenfeld — and Live on Stage, which included a solo version of his 2019 blockbuster, “If the World Was Ending,” a 4x Platinum GRAMMY® nominated song that has been streamed over 2 billion times worldwide. Saxe has already proven himself to be a master of off-the-cuff intimacy, but in his current era, it’s clear he’s intent on bringing us in even closer — experience that in-person at one of the upcoming dates below.
