TUNES // Snoh Aalegra – I Want You Around

Post by Sanchez

Snoh Aalegra knows what she wants. No kisses right now, just present presence. She cuts effortlessly through the common thread that undoes most relationships: miscommunication.

Over her signature style of heavy quick drum loops and casual minor key melodies, her voice confidently flows. The phrasing is hypnotic. And the shoreline is clear.

Emotional intimacy is so taxing. Stare into your significant other’s eyes for 3 minutes consecutively. 12 minutes. 25 minutes. You’ve done that? Congrats, you’ve completed at least my qualification to be bonded eternally.

But Aalegra sells it. Riding and holding hands with Harlem’s underrated A$AP Twelvyy in the single’s video, the Persian-Swedish soultress makes good on her cloud nine sunset Santa Barbara fantasy. A sequence of kodak moments shot on Kodak.

It’s not a case of asking for the bare minimum. While it’s easy to jump into physical intimacy Aalegra necessitates the importance of bringing it back to basics; golden hour and comfort of one another. I like you and I don’t exhibit it often but we’re going to smoothly transcend to this neon red astral plane together in the middle of the ocean (I hope you don’t mind).

Snoh Aalegra resides in Los Angeles and released her debut album FEELS in 2017 on ARTium Records. You can find this single, her album and her previous EPs across all streaming platforms. She recently completed her FEELS tour but will be performing in Sacramento at the end of April.
