Snoh Aalegra's "Ugh, Those Feels Again," released on August 16, 2019, is a stirring addition to her musical journey, positioned as an emotional sequel to her prior album "Feels." In this captivating body of work, Aalegra touches on the roller-coaster ride of love, intricate relationships, and the self-reflection needed for personal growth. Seven tracks offer a narrative underscored by a profound emotional tone, diving deeply into personal realms with resonating storytelling.
The music in this album courses through an entrancing mix of R&B, soul, with refined touches of rap, a style she lovingly dubs "cinematic soul." Standout tracks including "I Want You Around," "Situationship," and "Find Someone Like You" manifest Aalegra's sublime vocal capabilities and the myriad of emotions she portrays. Subtle yet profound auditory explorations appear in tracks like "Charleville 9200, Pt. II" and "Peace," showcasing her art in creating rich, reflective sonic environments.
Critically embraced, "Ugh, Those Feels Again" won over reviewers with Aalegra's enchanting vocal delivery and the album’s skilled production and steady theme. Earning a commendable 73 out of 100 on Metacritic, it evidenced how she struck a chord within the world of R&B and soul, climbing various Billboard charts with ease. For those fervent seekers of evocative contemporary music, this album hits all the right notes. - Kimberly
