With her new album, -Ugh, Those Feels Again, the Swedish-Iranian songstress proves she's ready to take over the charts.
“I just have this otherworldly love for music,” Aalegra, 32, toldbackstage following a performance in New York City. “I can’t even really explain it with words. It’s like a force that’s taken over me. There is nothing else I’ve wanted to do.” Here, Aalegra opens up about finding her place among a growing audience, ambition, and writing love songs.I’ve always wanted to make music, ever since I was a kid. I fell in love with it early.
I’m just trying to tell stories in the most vivid way possible. Everything I write and sing about, I’ve experienced.MC: Your music feels vulnerable. What was it like to build your image as a musician, and stay true to yourself as your audience grows bigger?I would say I’ve definitely grown into where I am today. When you’ve worked hard for something, you appreciate it more. You stay grounded and you don’t take it for granted. I always want to grow and be better.
MC: You have such a distinct sense of style. Who are your fashion icons and how do you get inspiration for your looks?I’m Iranian and I’m Swedish, and I feel like I show both sides of me [at different times]. I love less-is-more and simplicity in terms of Swedish design, so off-stage I’m probably in a hoodie and sneakers. But on-stage it’s usually the opposite. My fashion inspiration has always been Micheal Jackson, Janet [Jackson], Stevie [Wonder]—that’s why I’m always glittering on stage.
