The new chapter in Allegra’s career is a radical shift from the club heavyweights to an intensely personalistic pop sound. Her new single Strangers is about the tough part of a relationship ending, and the complicated desire that two people never met in the first place. In this journey, she demonstrates that it requires tremendous bravery and artistic vision to move beyond the tried and tested.
This artistic transition is a sign of the transitional story of being an independent hustler versus a major label’s restrictions. Often, the pressures from the art market dictate that artists produce new work that is reminiscent of previously successful formulas.Artists are sometimes under pressure from the art market to produce new work that takes them into uncharted territory. In a way, Allegra has broken out from the commercial cage and has charted a personal path through personal authenticity, allowing her to bare her soul in a diary-like lyricism.
Ou bat tanbou epi ou danse ankò.
