Snoh Aalegra Unveils New Album With Song Featuring Nile Rodgers and Raphael Saadiq

Snoh Aalegra, the Iranian Swedish artist, is set to release her first album in five years titled Legendary Love. The announcement is accompanied by the release of the song "I Love You," featuring two R&B legends, Nile Rodgers on guitar and Raphael Saadiq on bass. The video for "I Love You" is directed by Alfred Marroquín. The album is scheduled to drop on November 13 through Stem.

"I Love You," co-written by Aalegra, Joel Compass, and co-produced by Compass and Josh Grant, follows the release of "Karma," Aalegra's first song in three years. Her previous album was Temporary Highs in the Violet Skies. In a press release, Aalegra shared her thoughts on the new album: "I don't believe the greatest love stories are judged by their duration.

They're judged by the person they inspire you to become. Each song encapsulates a part of who I was, who I became, and who I will continue to be as I allowed myself to love deeply. This love brought me back to the era of music that captivated me during my upbringing, offering the same longing, romance, and nostalgia that sparked my aspiration to become an artist."
