There’s a certain irony in calling a collection Unreleased EP when it sounds this ready to be heard. Across six anthemic tracks, Allegra delivers ultra pop perfection that rarely strays far from danceable euphoria – but beneath the polished production is an artist becoming increasingly comfortable with her own distinctive voice and identity.
Romantic sets the tone with an irresistible take on the eternal hopeless romantic, embracing the possibility of heartbreak rather than running from it. Feel Sorry For Ya is sharper, sassier and packed with attitude, while Kiss Some Other Girls introduces a moodier edge and adds welcome contrast to the collection.
The standout moment comes with Dancing Alone, where independence is transformed into something celebratory rather than melancholic. Closing with the house-influenced Sober, Allegra returns to familiar club territory, delivering a chorus that feels destined to linger long after the final beat. In Person offers a fleeting glimpse of vulnerability, but even here, Allegra keeps the mood buoyant, turning introspection into yet another uplifting anthem.
Allegra clearly understands the enduring power of a great pop hook and has become increasingly assured in delivering them. What makes Unreleased EP so appealing is the unwavering confidence behind the shimmer: these songs feel less like discarded stepping stones and more like pieces of a bigger picture, revealing an artist discovering exactly where she belongs.
For a secret collection of tracks that supposedly didn’t fit elsewhere, Unreleased EP makes a remarkably convincing case for itself – and sounds more than ready to make its mark on the airwaves.
