London-based artist Allegra has firmly staked her claim as one of the UK’s most exciting talents, blending pop and dance music in a way that’s at once empowering and personal. With a string of chart-topping singles and collaborations with some of the biggest names in dance music, Allegra’s rise has been a thrilling musical rollercoaster.
Since making her entrance in 2019, she’s proven her ability to dazzle audiences with her original fusion of emotive pop and infectious dance beats. Her debut single “All About Us,” climbed to the #2 spot on the UK’s official Music Week Commercial Pop Club Chart in 2021. This success was just the beginning, as she went on to score seven Top 3 singles on that same chart, including a #1 hit with her collaboration with Tiësto on a remix of her track “Round & Round.”
Her global reach has been equally impressive, with chart-topping positions on iTunes in the UAE and a Top 10 spot on the Billboard Dance Chart in the USA. With millions of streams and views across platforms online, Allegra has quickly built a vast and loyal following.
Now, with the release of her debut EP Unsent Love Letters Vol. 1, Allegra is ready to showcase a more intimate, reflective side of her artistic vision. The EP’s lead single, “Strangers,” is a poignant exploration of heartbreak and regret, framing the emotional aftermath of a broken relationship. Produced by Tim Gosden, “Strangers” blends Allegra’s instantly catchy melodies with a softer, more delicate tone, ushering in an exciting new path for her musical vision.
Still distilling her dance-focused pop sound, the track offers a shimmering synth driven arrangement and pulsing rhythms capped by Allegra’s alluring voice. Threading elegant melodic hooks throughout, the smooth ebb and flow of the instrumentation delivers an engaging soundscape that’s as moving as it is energising.
Accompanied by a playful music video filmed in London, “Strangers” highlights Allegra’s ability to connect with listeners on a personal level. Directed by Rupert Bryan, the video features Allegra performing the track in various locations around the city to offer a visually stunning pairing for her exquisite new single.
Commenting on the, she offers, “It’s a really fun video. There is a figure at the beginning of the video who represents my boyfriend, and then it ends. It goes through the process of being with him and leaving, then walking through the city, wishing you were strangers and feeling completely empowered.”
