Allegra

“Red” marks a bold new era for Allegra — fearless, sensual, and unapologetically authentic. In this interview, she opens up about empowerment, creative freedom, and embracing every version of herself.

1. “Red” feels like a real artistic evolution for you — mature, hypnotic, and emotionally charged. How does this single represent where you are right now, both musically and personally?
“Red” is all about stepping into my power. It’s bold and confident, everything I’m feeling right now. I stopped holding back and started trusting myself more, both in music and in life. It’s me owning my space, unapologetically.

2. The visualiser for “Red” is bold and captivating — from the contrast of light and dark to your choreography. What story or emotion were you hoping to express visually with this project?
I wanted the visuals to feel as intense and powerful as the song. The light and dark contrast show that mix of confidence and vulnerability. Every movement had purpose, it’s about taking control and saying, “I’m the one leading this now.”

3. Your new EP explores a wide range of emotions and sounds, from the intimacy of “Love Me A Little” to the shadowy allure of “Ash.” What ties these tracks together thematically — is there a central message or feeling you want listeners to take away?
The EP is all about self-assurance and finding confidence in who you are. Each song shows a different side of that, from strength to softness. It’s about choosing yourself, setting boundaries, and celebrating every version of you.

You’ve worked with some huge names like Tiësto and ALOK, yet this new era feels distinctly you. How has taking creative control influenced the sound and confidence we’re hearing in “Red” and beyond?
Working with artists like Tiësto and ALOK taught me about sound, about energy, about the power of collaboration. But this era was about coming home to my own voice. I wanted full creative control. It allowed me to be fearless and to trust my instincts. “Red” sounds like me, fully and completely, and that’s the most freeing feeling ever.
5. Your previous EP “Unsent Love Letters Vol. 1” was deeply personal and confessional. How did moving from heartbreak and reflection to the empowerment and sensuality of “Red” shift your mindset as a songwriter?
Unsent Love Letters was me processing heartbreak. Red is me stepping into confidence. It’s playful, powerful, and a bit cheeky too. I stopped writing from pain and started writing from strength. That shift made the whole process feel fearless.
6. You’ve achieved remarkable chart success and built a strong fan base across both pop and dance music scenes. What’s next for you after this EP — and how do you see your sound evolving in the next chapter of your career?
There’s so much more to come. I’ve been experimenting with new sounds, new songwriters, producers and just letting myself explore freely. This EP opened a new chapter for me, the next one will be even braver, bigger, and full of surprises.
