After returning with the irresistible \u2018Romantic\u2019, London-based singer Allegra is unveiling a hidden five-track collection of songs – the immediate and emotionally candid \u2018Unreleased EP\u2019.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Bringing the sparkling and euphoric energy of her renowned club hits with a new independent clarity, it\u2019s a wonder why the rising pop star kept them secret for so long. Infectious, bold and self-aware, she elevates the attitude and sophistication of previous EP, \u2018Red\u2019, and effortlessly delivers her most assured work to date.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Romantic\u2019 sets the tone here: a slick tale of broken boys that shows it\u2019s okay to believe in the perfect fairy-tale romance, despite the inevitable heartbreak it can bring. Catchy and compelling, she transforms previous melancholy into an uplifting message, crafting a space for hopeless romantics to thrive amid an often chivalrous modern dating landscape.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allegra reflected on the meaning behind \u2018Romantic\u2019:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“\u2019Romantic\u2019 is a song that I wrote about being the girl who believes in the fairy tale. A girl who doesn\u2019t turn away the broken things but falls in love with them and believes in them. You know it might hurt you but just maybe if it all works out it will all be worth it.It\u2019s like the Santa line\u2026..You\u2019re told the fairy tale as a child and then as you grow up you learn the \u201ctruth\u201d but I still choose to believe in the magic and hope\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Romantic\u2019 isn\u2019t the only rose-tinted secret to uncover, however. These glowing instant hits have no fixed abode, instead, it’s colourful and varied – blending numerous punchy dance textures with moodier atmospheres and playful winks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Feel Sorry For Ya\u2019 has a killer chorus, and even more killer bassline to match, while \u2018Kiss Some Other Girls\u2019 and \u2018Dancing Alone\u2019 strike a balance between the alluring Allegra we\u2019ve all come to love with glittering and satisfying melodies. \u2018Sober,\u2019 however, feels like a grand finale – chant-worthy, club-focused, and reminiscent of her previous chart-topping dance fixtures without being recycled: instead, she\u2019s continuing to meticulously craft something new.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Armed with mainstream appeal, razor-sharp lyrics, and a vocal performance that feels stronger than ever \u2018Unreleased EP\u2019 is magnetic, and, simply addictive addition to her blossoming collection.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
