Feb. 18, 2020 | Sidney Madden -- Almost without trying, Snoh Aalegra has an unforgettable presence. Strolling into NPR's music department on the day of her Tiny Desk Concert debut, the striking Iranian-Swedish singer donned Off-White Nike Dunks, baggy jeans, dewy skin and a sleek ponytail, carrying herself with the kind of camera-ready, cool-girl aura that silenced a mass of people waiting for her. Even with all that, the moment she started to sing is when the real beauty shone through.
Like a fragile candle flame in a pool of melting wax, the texture of Aalegra's voice mesmerizes without overpowering. The 32-year-old has spent years perfecting that balance. Drawing her musical cues from Brandy and Sade while racking up a list of collaborators such as Vince Staples, James Fauntleroy and, most recently Pharrell Williams, Aalegra always finds her groove in the unexpected pockets of emotion. Much of her latest album, 2019's -Ugh, those feels again, is an ode to the comfortability of love, one that's even more appreciated within the close confines of the Tiny Desk.
On this day in particular, Aalegra's tracks were stripped of their punchier, album-version kick drums and trap echoes. In their absence, it's Aalegra's delicate vocal runs and chemistry with her supporting singers that resonated most. "I Want You Around" and "Whoa," which usually rest on a bed of glitchy, spiraling production, felt lighter thanks to the dreamy string section, and by the time she sang her concert closer, "Find Someone Like You," the room was in full swoon. It's clear that at just 16 minutes, Aalegra and her crew knew how to create a memorable moment.

I had to say it every Grammy and award is about your gender now.... and 2nd if yall wanna start really given credit thank the gospel churches 90% of these bands musicians come from them.

[@robertgranat9185]

This version of “Love Like That” sounds ideal for a really heartbreaking nighttime drive.

[@GlamEverAfter]

Robert Granat :(

[@rudegirlmon]

Definitely Relatable

[@MrBrandoncook10]

Just listened to this with quality headphones and bass boosted. After watching 10 times before my love has gone even higher. Band blazing, background bananas. Snoh showed out

[@bdavid738]

She's a mixture of Sade, Alicia Keys, and Michael Jackson. I've became a fan of this wonderful artist since day one. Along with others, this is my favorite Tiny Desk by far! She is talented, beautiful, and very underrated. ❤

[@volcaniadread]

We’re gonna need a wider lens

[@brimcnair]

VOLCANIA DREAD lol

[@Kik_Hat_Sne]

And.. A medium size desk, maybe.

[@ktammz]

Nah, there's no need for a full band it destroys the intimacy....

[@Jennifrlim]

i know she sings so gooooood but i cant stop staring at her FACE. so perfect

[@awake5650]

Jennifer Lim make up, she is pretty tho

[@courtneywitt4548]

Stunning!

[@cakech3493]

Yes!!! She's like Natalie Portman and Amy Winehouse. I guess the eyeliner reminds me of Any not the singing.

[@zandiqwalana3072]

Me too 💕

[@rexxroyal]

Omg yessss, her passion for music makes her 1000× more beautiful

[@MsNairah1]

She sounds even better live my god her voice is amazing!

[@ThabangRPhotography]

3 years later and this is still therapy 🥰 thank you for blessing us with your musical gifts.

[@AdrianDunevein]

Snoh we want you around too!

[@surprisemonyai3059]

Indeed! 1000%

[@beatstreetmedia]

I love how the band didn’t stop for transition between Love Like That and I Want You Around. So seamless, so masterful.

[@rocheleconley8509]

I listen to this every day. it's become part of my daily routine at this point

[@toddthagodd685]

Same!!

[@kautharkasker560]

I listen to this everyday

[@EricG-bv2ui]

Brittany Howard: Be ready NPR I'm bringing a full band. Snoh Aalegra: That's cute.

[@nprmusic]

haha! For reference: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqq6Zo2wZdxksMk

[@aeme549]

This makes me realize how much I miss live music.

[@ryanhopkins7311]

Live music is the best

[@ChelyAmour]

Same :(

[@crislainevalenca3222]

I can't tell you how many times I've seen this. It's my favorite Tiny Desk Concert by far! I wish I could see Jojo and Sinéad Harnett here.

[@AMillionDollarPathway]

Her voice is so good.

[@tsmith9038]

This is an artist who doesn't sacrifice the music for anything, and it shows.

[@playablue]

If she was black and not openly opening her legs like a stripper she wouldnt get the same attention.

[@jean-marcbetrix2755]

@@playablue defuk you're talkin about!

[@nkwakutoure]

Go visit some southern rural black churches if you want to hear someone sing but be warned that they are not light skin and petite nor vegan.

[@AlexanderNevermind888]

This is totally unfiltered, no voice-altering in the studio during production, just her pure voice. I can see why Prince respected her talent. Listening to her newest album now, Temporary Highs in the Violet Skies, and it is a truly excellent album.

[@Lvlolv]

Pure talent

[@thehomiejayomni]

All facts. New album gets better with each listen!

[@tecorarogers7723]

Thanks 😊 for the album information

[@candidthoughts5656]

Just heard dying 4 your love and I came here to appreciate this beautiful voice

[@AlexanderNevermind888]

That's an incredible song. From beginning to end, that Temporary High album is an amazing piece of work. It's definitely one of my top 5 albums so far this year

[@schewanwilliams6802]

I listen to her music everyday. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her music.❤️

[@bridgettewilson9777]

Her music is so relaxing

[@kwonyii3025]

Facts❤

[@dollarbill10485]

9:56 - These background singers didn’t come for play, play. Repeated those 30(ish) seconds.

[@hahahuhu832]

Zurich Thomas brian mcknight’s level

[@LGnLA]

I felt them thee ENTIRE time, wow just WOW!! Shouldn't be background...

[@drearoses1306]

[@sparkle5675]

Exactly!!

[@eugenedixon9715]

Thought just out here getting solos lol

[@KCee984]

I need a Wale & Snoh Aalegra collab. I believe their artistry will blend together so well.

[@simphiwegumede3898]

YES!!!!!

[@cjsmith9616]

KBC33 I agree.. it was be so poetic ❤️🖤

[@olawaleadegoke3782]

Wale approves of this message 😁

[@Blaqmench]

KBC you should be a A&R, because that Wale and Snoh combo would be EPIC! 🔥

[@Mikeymike301]

Wale or Anderson Paak would be ridiculous!!!

[@KelebogileCM]

Her music makes me feel warmth and feeling I can’t explain

[@joycem9934]

The entire arrangement is beautiful and the backing vocalists are exceptional. Found myself singing along to Find Someone Like You and I'm hearing the song for the first time.

[@marshallmays8171]

This exact thing happened to me. Wow.

[@PeppoMusic]

This sound is making me nostalic for the 90s, good times.

[@diplayball]

me too

[@obibraxton2232]

anybody else binge watching Tiny desk concerts in Lockdown ?

[@itspossible3381]

Jon Batiste Tobe Nwingwe Yes sir!

[@colinthorn]

Yesss!

[@godsorganiclove]

Found her on my own and it was one of my fave findings when I found her music a while back. I get to say no one put me on haha. She deserves more recognition than what she gets man. She’s dope. didn’t even know she did a tiny desk, why the tiny desks be so good tho, like dang I’ve seen a couple and the purity in the live sessions is so dope, like they go all out with these.

[@cymbidium3]

Me too! I found her when this NPR vid first came up. I clicked because she was so darn pretty and I've been hooked ever since 😍

[@shelleydennis8350]

Me too!! She is dope🔥🔥🔥 She has a vibe for sure 💯

[@miraclerain3035]

I am new to youtube content creating check us out.

[@jaseyeates4431]

I want u around can believe this song is 2years ..😍😍am in love.

[@CreoleKidd954]

Thaddeus Tribbet on bass guitar ladies and gentlemen 🙏🏽

[@adoptmefand8054]

Creole church folk mad about that 😡😂😂😂

[@C.Franxx]

And Spanky on the drums... she had to have sang for Tye in GA

[@RobertCarvalhoUK]

Creole oh wow.

[@jewdproductionmainemanvide9913]

👍🏿 I Recognize that 4 string My Man makes it talk

[@joshuajean-charles5342]

Respect ✊🏾

[@shutupbru]

Snoh makes me feel like unconditional love is all that I need for the rest of my life. Thank you for bringing her, Npr

[@WinningWithWini]

For real though!

[@sophia-luciakwon2792]

omg, *tear*

[@NostalgicNathan]

This comment describes exactly how I’m feeling. Her voice/music feels like a warm bubble bath with your lover.

[@user-yz7jq8tq5y]

Love love Snoh all the way from South Africa. Looking forward to when she finally comes to perform here ❤❤❤

[@maanomakuya8232]

She is coming to Rocking the Daisies in October

[@dojaturtle6788]

What a time to live... I can't believe I'm watching this for free 😭🥺💓

[@shimueljones5777]

Those are not backups, they are "frontliners"

[@Snoh3976]

many people slept on her for years, so glad shes getting the recognition she deserves

[@janinelindsey-williams1927]

Since when? Tell me her storrry

[@manimichelle495]

Well that’s how it is for most musicians. Then they work hard and start getting recognition.

[@Snoh3976]

Janine Lindsey-Williams signed a development deal to Sony at 13 but released music 8 years after in 2009, her story is amazing to be honest and have been a fan for years

[@Snoh3976]

Got mentored by prince as well after he found her music and reached out around 2014

[@eddy5750]

3976 imagine getting a shout out from Prince.

[@bharanijuli]

this is worth watching, at the very least, once a month. snoh and the band are phenomenal

[@oyas_oracle]

Just about how many times Ive watched it!
