According to The Guardian, Swedish-Iranian singer Snoh Aalegra has delivered her most successful front-to-back statement yet with her fourth album, Legendary Love. Reviewer Shaad D'Souza notes that Aalegra's hypnotic, Sade-ish voice is placed in dizzyingly plush environments, such as the hybrid of Afrobeats and 80s R&B on 'I Love You' and minimalist guitars on 'This That'. However, the review points out that she still struggles to shake off a talent-show-ish reverence for her idols, with certain tracks falling short as lesser tributes to legends like Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston.
