After five years away from albums, Iranian-Swedish R&B singer, songwriter, and producer Snoh Aalegra returns with Legendary Love, her fourth studio album, on November 13, 2026 through Stem. It's a 13-song record built around 1980s synthesizers, drum machines, and a love story that went wrong. Here's the full tracklist, what's confirmed about each song, and the story behind the album.
Heads up: the album isn't out yet. Three singles have been released and one more song has been teased, so details on the other tracks are limited to their titles. This post will be updated after release.

The Story Behind the Album
Aalegra spent more than two years writing and recording Legendary Love, and she has said it draws from an intense relationship with an unnamed entertainer, according to a New York Times interview. The record is described as her most intimate yet, using 1980s nostalgia as the backdrop for a modern story of heartbreak. Returning to the music she grew up with shaped how the album was recorded, with period synths and drum machines at the center of the sound.
The album also marks a return after a long gap. Her last full-length release was Temporary Highs in the Violet Skies in 2021, which featured Tyler, the Creator and James Fauntleroy. Between albums, she released a few singles in 2023, including "Be My Summer," "Sweet Tea," and "Wait a Little Longer."
Track-by-Track Breakdown
Side I
1. "Run Free"
The album opener, and the first taste of the new era. Aalegra shared a snippet and a visual teaser before announcing the album, and the song has been described as a preview of its wistful, vintage-inspired sound.
2. "I Love You"
The second single, released October 21 alongside the album announcement, runs about three minutes and seventeen seconds. Nile Rodgers plays guitar and Raphael Saadiq plays bass, two musicians Aalegra counts among her heroes. She co-wrote it with Joel Compass and produced it with Compass and Josh Grant, and Alfred MarroquÃn directed the music video.
3. "Karma"
The lead single, released October 14 at about three and a half minutes. It was her first new single in three years and signaled the start of this chapter, with coverage describing a neo-soul sound.
4. "Danger"
Only the title has been confirmed so far.
5. "This That"
Title only for now.
6. "Repair"
Title only for now.
7. "Just Friends"
The third single, and at about four minutes the longest of the three released so far. It closes out Side I.
Side II
8. "Warmest Shade of Blue"
Title only for now.
9. "Timeless"
Title only for now.
10. "Nothing Compares"
Title only for now.
11. "Supernova"
Title only for now.
12. "Legendary Love"
The title track, placed second to last, which often signals a key emotional moment on an album.
13. "Greatest of All Time"
The closer. No further details have been shared.
The Collaborators
Beyond the singles, Aalegra worked with an unusually deep bench of producers and writers across the project. Reported collaborators include:
- Nile Rodgers (guitar) and Raphael Saadiq (bass) on "I Love You"
- Babyface
- Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis
- Daniel Caesar
- Dahi and Mustafa
- Joel Compass and Josh Grant on "I Love You"
Outlets haven't tied most of these names to specific songs yet, so the credits should be clearer once the album is out.
Why the Two-Sided Format Matters
The tracklist is split into Side I (seven songs) and Side II (six songs), a nod to the vinyl format. A limited-edition vinyl pressing was offered through her official store, so the sequencing is designed to work as a physical record, with a clear break after "Just Friends" before the album's second half begins.
