WHAT IT IS: Snoh Aalegra, an Iranian and Swedish singer/songwriter, is arguably one of the most exciting voices of recent times. Her sound evokes the soulful essence of her idols, who include Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson. But it’s also lined with an unparalleled authenticity and raw emotion, as well as a deep sense of outsiderdom that feels universal. Her music heavily draws from her life experiences and challenges as a person who’s long felt like an outcast and is now coming into her own. Her sophomore album, - Ugh, those feels again, includes breakout singles “I Want You Around” and ‘Whoa.” With two sold-out headline tours in 2019, Aalegra further proves herself as one of music’s “ones to watch.”
