Album Review: SnohAalegra’s ‘Ugh, Those Feels Again’ is a familiar-sounding but deceptively complex and innovative take on R&B.
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.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.
But the unusually complex production lofts it to a level that is leagues beyond “Feels”: The upper frequencies are often bright and clear, but the bass and low end is woozy and blurry; various sounds and melodies float dreamily in and out of the mix.
But all of the above focus on the album’s sound is not to take away from Aalegra’s significant development as a singer over the past couple of years: She shows remarkable range and switches up her delivery to match the ever-shifting music, but perhaps most strikingly, even when the lyrics and the melodies are intense or confrontational, they’re blunted by her phrasing or the effects on her voice, so the album neverconfrontational, even when it is.
