Allegra has been labelled a hit-maker, and her EP is no exception. However, it adopts a maturation in sound and showcases her newfound versatility, displaying a dynamic blend of influences and moods. The title serves its purpose, uncovering unsent letters to exes that she would write as a source of solace for her pain. Now, she converts it into a set of powerful tracks that will linger in the listener's minds long after the first listen.
‘Upgraded’ is gently uplifting, revealing a more intimate side to Allegra’s previous dance-pop hits. Shying away from club floor-fillers, the star explores the growth from an unhealthy relationship - a track that many listeners can resonate with. This heartfelt venture into self-love is multiplied by ‘Strangers,’ which evokes the wish that she had never met her ex-partner.
Whilst the EP explores themes of loss and anger, the main outcome is uplifting and positive. ‘Refund’ is fun and playful, emerging with a sense of self-worth and desire to get a ‘refund or return’ for her relationship. ‘Rain’, coloured with an enchanting, electronic soundscape, proclaims the acceptance of her independence with touching melodies and a charming feel.
