Snoh was discovered by Prince.... it all makes sense now. Love her!

[@tenacious1]

Yeh especially "You"

[@Arrjsm1]

Snoh your Aura is very attractive🧘🏽‍♀️🔆

[@user-op2bh7rc9z]

[@emanualcarr7408]

Why because she looks "racially ambiguous?"

[@AshlyMonet]

[@zakariamuktar2590]

She reminds me of sade

Zakaria Muktar I SWEAR BRO glad aint the only one

[@iimaniilovee]

Zakaria Muktar yessss

[@MissEbo1985]

Yes she really does

[@DaughterOfChrist1997]

sade and amy winehouse!

[@mypharrell]

Zakaria Muktar That’s the same thing I was thinking. Her talking voice and mannerisms

[@teeboy1980]

I can listen to people tell Prince stories all day! 😂

[@dorothyparker544]

teeboy1980 yes!!! He was the best! 😂💜

[@priscillawilson9703]

I know, me too. I was listening to Arnez J talk about his experience with Prince. It was too funny.

[@L.W..]

She’s so timeless. So soulful and effortless 😭✨

[@mosshisokid9143]

She talked about her career and dreams so realistically and puts a humane aspect back on our SO CALLED superstars and reminds us fans that they are first and foremost Humans.

[@Phoenix-369]

Saw her LIVE with Daniel Caesar ♥️♥️♥️ such a natural ambient voice! Yaasss Queen

[@chrissy_rutherford]

I saw her with Daniel Caesar too! So gooood!

[@aiemiiyo4244]

Lucky I really wanted to see a Daniel caesar concert :( how was it

[@katjamia9825]

Phoenix1111 C that is literally the concert of my dreams!! Lucky you

[@CallMeGabi]

I'm going to see her in April. First concert ever and I'm 22 years old. She's the only artist I would pay money to see. I'm excited!

[@MrDISTINCTIVEMUSIC]

Prince had a type for sure

[@WrestleManiaMan1000]

DistinctiveMusicTV - Plus I could have seen them being married

[@sunnypie2]

DistinctiveMusicTV - Plus he loved talented women, but if he wanted to date them, at least 53 right?

[@lotusflower8989]

Literally the first thing I thought when she mentioned Prince! He produced an artist named Bria Valente that could pass for Snoh’s sister

[@tenacious1]

Yeh he liked exotic looking talented women with substance. She has all three. Can't lie...I see what he saw.

[@michaelclarkva]

lotusflower8989 I was thinking bria valente and snoh aalegra was the same person , I guessed wrong , 2 completely different women and spirits. Those 2 do look alittle alike .

[@kellysmith2473]

wow she is stunning

[@QueenQueenly]

Kelly Smith yes

[@nigeluchiha2386]

She's ok

[@nigeluchiha2386]

@Smiles and the Twisted MD I'm a guy

[@twilightfades_7]

K G I could say the same to you 😂 Then why the fuck are you here?

[@mwahhha226]

when i first heard her new songs i assumed she was another one of those up and coming rnb singers but she has a huge long career i’m actually fascinated about her journey

[@ProfBlaq]

This sounds like a charlie Murphy true hollywood story..."donuts...at 4am"

[@angeltorres4516]

Game.......blouses

[@LICKMYNYNE]

This bores me

[@tenacious1]

😆I thought the same

[@EyeHeartShantel]

She gives me early Amy vibes. But she has her own style, too. I really like her!

[@miacashiola3878]

Same

[@alannabors]

I need that frank ocean collab ASAP

[@ervina.52]

She making a song with Tyler soon

[@alannabors]

Collab between Snoh and Frank would be a new kind of heaven

[@saharagoddess1]

She's so beautiful, she looks like sade and sounds like amy Winehouse

[@simsmweetwa]

I fell in love with Snoh and her voice the very first time i heard I Want You Around

[@DilaamBeauty]

Her voice is soothing ❤️

[@CremedelaCreme777]

I’ve been following her forever.. so happy ppl are finally getting to know who she is. And you & me both on wishing for that Frank collab, Snoh. You & me both! 🤞🏾

[@heeeeeelrcard]

FINALLY SNOH IS GETTING THE RECOGNITION THAT SHE DESERVES!! I remember meeting her at her meet & greet in chicago a year ago in a teeny tiny little venue, and now she’s blowing up!! She deserves it all!! 💕💕

[@danica4077]

This is one beautiful woman, you can see she is extremely emotional, maybe still a kiddo a little bit, shy for sure, but beautiful person inside out ! Her singing voice brings me in such a state I can't even describe how it affected when I found her on KZbin. She carries so much emotion ih herself it reminds me of myself. We don't deserve such a pure soul. Love from Serbia

[@PhillyGirlLivefromthe215]

Snoh reminds me, so much of Amy Winehouse. I’m just learning of her but she can sing. And if Prince co-signed, that’s a definitive win win!

[@EboJ13]

I really enjoy Snoh. It's great to learn she was discovered by Prince, one of my ALL time faves💜. Heard her at One Musicfest. She said she didn't sound her best due to celebrating (which she deserved to do) but she still sounded great to us. 💖

[@Paramoah]

I love her. I also love how swedish she still sounds

[@TheAnthropol]

OMG. A Prince blessing is beyond amazing.

[@faithwalk.]

Prince discovered her and now I like her even more!

[@yb32]

I've watched this several times. She's so captivating, mature and graceful. I love hearing her talk.

[@itswysdumb]

Woah... Prince put Danileigh on game too... then Snoh... thats wild 🔥 much respect to the legend i wonder who else he had put on

[@mosshisokid9143]

I love her slang and way of talking and also how she used the word “ attire “ instead of outfit or clothes

[@gracebaloyi]

I need to see her live 😭

[@chrissy_rutherford]

Can't stop listening to her new album!

[@LisaLisa-on8gk]

she is so captivating, like she just got some magic to her it’s fascinating

[@fadhiliodewo7103]

[@ayospvceman]

Prince seemed like he loved keeping people feed and happy lol legends

[@lemonsgj]

I can listen to her talk and sing all day

[@adaobi8783]

Now I know why I like her, she reminds me of Sade👸🏾

[@MFZH_]

YESSSSSS SNOHH!!!!! You people that JUST found out about snoh are in for a TREATTT!! A whole mealll actually

[@youruniquestyle]

I thought she would sound more Swedish than this.

[@Punk-yu1ix]

Sugarrr actually there’s no Swedish accent exists lol

[@tenacious1]

I thought the same lol. But she has a very sexy voice with a slight bit of an accent. But the Iranian accent probably helped blend it out.

[@alysamonet]

If you watch interviews from 2+ years ago she has a heavier accent

[@camelio10]

She's ethnically Persian though

[@sarahawkins1917]

She was raised up in Sweden but she said she has Persian parents, so her accent is probably a mixture.

[@sillygoose1021]

Bruno & Snoh collab would go crazy

[@shonybaby9982]

One of my favorite singer

[@AlexisSoloman]

She talks how she sings! That’s rare!! 😍😍

[@LostmeBee]

Peace and Blessings Cherubs Harpers Bazaar!!! Thank you a hundred times over for this! I just love this Young gorgeous Princess Snoh !😍😍😍 Fell in love with “In your river “, song that wound up being the Apple commercial! I feverishly searched for it back 2016😂 Once I found it , I dogged the damn song to death! (* as you can tell I’m an OG, so we played the song till the record got scratched!😂🤣). So great see and hear her voice and to see new interviews. I fell in love with her because she looked like favorite Latina Actress Eva Mendez!❤️❤️❤️ Love her! Blessings to you Harper and keep the great interviews coming. Peace from the Magi Hypnotist in the East. ❤️😍🇲🇦🇺🇸✡️🙏🏿
