Following the bold break-up anthem &#8216;Strangers,&#8217; &#8216;Upgraded&#8217; serves as a powerful release of emotions, setting the tone for the personal journey of self-worth that lies ahead. Allegra is reclaiming her confidence, and insisting you do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this brand new video, Allegra is au naturel, laying in pools of sunlight in the subtle surroundings of a cosy living room. Much like the song itself, it offers hope, clarity and a fresh start. Single life and a newfound independence is exactly what Allegra needs, and as a result &#8211; she&#8217;s glowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what are you waiting for? Brighten up your Galentines this Friday with Allegra&#8217;s radiant self-love anthem.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the video for &#8216;Upgraded&#8217; below.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_30635\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7QnvR4_QrjE?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"ALLEGRA &#039;Upgraded&#039; (Official Visualiser)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/7QnvR4_QrjE\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>LISTEN TO &#8216;UNSENT LOVE LETTERS VOL.1&#8217;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Unsent Love Letters Vol.1\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3L6Z1XVYVPKz6LImGzimxT?si=2LJC7px_T3GEwzKt6Ey0-w&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s no better way to get in the Galentines spirit than with Allegra&#8217;s vibrant and empowering new video for &#8216;Upgraded.&#8217; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":89553,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"There's no better way to get in the Galentines spirit than with Allegra's vibrant and empowering new video for 'Upgraded.'
