At the tender age of just nine-years-old Aalegra, born Shahrzad Fooladi, began writing her own music. At 13, the Persian songstress signed her very first artist development deal with Sony Music Sweden in 2001. Now, after years of hard work and dedication the "Situationship" singer has released two studio albums in the past three years with her most successful being her sophomore musical offering, Ugh, Those Feels Again (2019). The 32-year-old's sonically soothing vibrations allowed her to peak at the 39th slot on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and 76 on the Billboard Hot 200 Albums chart.
With a hit album that has garnered the attention of both R&B and hip-hop purists, the new Roc Nation signee is headed on tour in the coming weeks.

Snoh Aalegra Takes Her Velvety Vocals To NPR Tiny Desk
Prayers have been answered.
Snoh Aalegra is one of the most angelic voices gracing R&B at the moment. I’m sure the Swedish-Iranian singer was on many people’s wishlist of artists to appear on NPR Tiny Desk and that dream has now become a reality. Her songs conjure the kind of intimate atmosphere that would obviously translate well to the series’ stripped-back performances.

Watching her perform her velvety tracks, her singing appears just as effortless as it sounds. Her Tiny Desk setlist mostly consisted of cuts from her 2019 sophomore album, – Ugh, those feels again, which propelled her closer to stardom and earned her Swedish Grammy nominations. From that project, she performed “Love Like That”, “I Want You Around”, “Find Someone Like You” and “Woah”, which received a remixing by Pharrell last week. She dove further back into her catalog for “Fool For You” from her 2017 debut. This song attracted much love through her appearance on the “COLORS” web series.
Snoh Aalegra remains a favorite on our R&B-centric Spotify playlist, “R&B Season”, which is updated weekly with new releases and throwbacks that fit the calming vibe. You can listen and subscribe to that here.
