Ahead of Her Debut EP, Allegra Releases Remixes and Acoustic Mix of Lead Single “Strangers”
Heralded as one of the UK’s standout talents, London-based star Allegra is set to release her debut EP ‘Unsent Love Letters Vol.1’ on September 27th on Radikal Records. Produced by Tim Gosden the collection of songs is poised to be her most honest work to date, uncovering hidden love letters and encapsulating the several stages of a break-up.
The EP’s lead single, “Strangers”, delves into the aftermath of a broken relationship and the wish that it had never happened. Departing from the dance-pop fusion seen in her recent hits, “Strangers” marks a new chapter, showcasing Allegra’s emerging emotive pop style.
Ahead of the EP’s release, Allegra is supporting “Strangers” with an official remix package. ‘Strangers (Remixes)’ features 5 new mixes of the single, including remixes by dance producers Block & Crown, Perfect Strangers, So Cool Network and 2 Sub Dude. The release also features a special Acoustic Mix of the track, which highlights the emotional weight of the track.
Allegra broke onto the dance music scene last year with her collaboration with Tiësto on a remix of her track ‘Round & Round’. This success launched her into the spotlight with a #1 hit on the Music Week Commercial Pop Chart, which was followed by the dance-floor anthem ‘Love You Right Back’, featuring the acclaimed DJ Alok.
Her new journey from breakout club hits to crafting a collection of deeply personal tracks showcases her versatility, as she continues to captivate audiences with her distinctive fusion of emotive pop and dance music. Her ability to intertwine vulnerability with empowerment ensures that ‘Unsent Love Letters Vol.1’ will leave a lasting impression, marking the next phase of her already impressive career. The diary-like lyricism of the EP reveals the singer’s intimate side, creating an overarching narrative of self-love and independence designed to empower women.
“Each song on the EP is an unsent love letter with a different storyline. It goes from heartbreak, to going through the process of a breakup, to realizing I’m a boss ass woman! But the EP is raw and vulnerable. I’ve always had this thing about love letters – when I was younger and got upset, I would write letters and never send them. It’s how you get your feelings out.” – Allegra
