Peppy, colorful, and emotive, Allegra’s ‘Refund’ is a single taken out of her debut album ‘Unsent Love Letters Vol.1’. A fantastic piece of electro pop that drips with Allegra’s unique stylish flair, ‘Refund’ found its way effortlessly into my heart.
Allegra is a singer and songwriter based in London. Her pristine, radio-friendly sound make her music instantly catchy and easy to vibe with. Smart as well! Allegra’s songs usually have an element that sets her apart from other pop artist. On ‘Refund’, a seemingly simple pop song, we find a wealth of musical and melodic ideas that can take a few listens to unfold and be duly appreciated.
From the steady and tight, overdriven guitar arpeggio, a staccato, palm-muted figure that rips mostly throughout the song, introducing a rhythmic element to the song’s flow, to the subdued beat and the lush synth pad soundscape, ‘Refund’ is a song with a distinctive character. Moreover, we cannot miss Allegra’s colorful vocal delivery. Capable and catchy, Allegra’s vocal part seems effortless but is readily twisting and is an ample display of her vocal talent, showcasing fantastic control. The song’s simplistic composition, featuring only a few chords, put alongside the hypnotic consistency of the beat, make for one smooth drive.
Allegra’s music is always fun, and diving deeply into her carefully structured and spirited soundscapes is always rewarding. ‘Refund’ is no exception. Another great addition to her steadily growing catalog.
