Snoh Aalegra - Ugh, Those Feels Again

Regular price $ 36.99

Apart from having one of the all-time greatest album-sequel titles, “Ugh, Those Feels Again” — which follows this R&B-leaning Swedish-Persian singer’s 2017 debut full-length, “Feels” — succeeds on a far more complex level: making familiar sounds unfamiliar.

Snoh Aalegra signed to Sony when she was just 13 and released a more pop-leaning album under the name Sheri in 2010, but then Prince took her under his wing, and his influence was apparent when she adopted her current name and guise in 2014. While countless thousands of recordings have been released over the past decade that explore an alt-R&B vein similar to the one on this album — a romantic, weed-influenced, late-night vibe, classic and forward-leaning at the same time — very few succeed on the levels that “Ugh” does. The bones of the songs here are familiar and similar to the ones on “Feels”: lots of mid-tempo, slightly jazzy R&B grooves with rimshots, tinkling electric piano and Aalegra’s deceptively versatile voice, which is usually singing standard-issue R&B lyrics like “Boy I’ve got my eye on you… your body next to mine … can we make this last forever,” etc.
