Critic Reviews
Show All-
The Washington Post
Either way, this sound — muddled, breezy, numbing, hypnotic — is here to stay for a while, and we should be listening for its nuance.
-
Pitchfork
With dreamy experimental production and standout Tyler, the Creator features, the L.A. singer’s latest is an affecting document of how pain can smolder beneath a veneer of nonchalance.
-
The Guardian
inventive R&B with retro charm.
-
Medium
With TEMPORARY HIGHS IN THE VIOLET SKIES, Snoh Aalegra creates a new-wave funk pop/R&B vibe that is certain to catch the ear of the unfamiliar listener (think lo-fi with actual lyrics).

Uproxx
Keeping your head in the clouds is a bad thing, as some might say, but the way Snoh Aalegra tells it, these Temporary Highs In The Violet Skies are everything and more.
-
NME
healthy dose of introspective R&B.
-
Black Boy Bulletin
At times, Temporary Highs in the Violet Skies can feel a bit stagnant because Snoh goes for a much more restrained overall vocal performance in comparison to her last record, but it never drags thanks to the variety of production choices. We’re halfway through 2021, and Snoh Aalegra has emerged as yet another key player for women in R&B this year.

Ben's Beat
Snoh Aalegra is peaking at the perfect time and making herself one to watch going forward in the world of R&B. Her style is a completely distinctive mix of the old and the new, and being able to hold my attention throughout despite the lack of many obvious hooks is impressive. With her connections, she should only continue to rise.

All Music
Aalegra neither exaggerates her grievances nor oversells her evanescent joys for theatrical effect. It's this LP that best showcases her ability to truly sing without raising her voice.

Clash Magazine
On ‘Temporary Highs…’, sleepy mid-tempos bleed into one another and that may be the point: For Aalegra love exists on a continuum, love is meditative, love is holy. As the summer reaches its apex, Snoh Aalegra's chronicles of yearning desire will be the soundtrack once again.

The Line of Best Fit
TEMPORARY HIGHS IN THE VIOLET SKIES is Snoh Aalegra embracing centre stage.

HipHopDX
At its best, Aalegra’s third full-length album justifies her hype, proving why she’s been able to carve out a lane for herself as a budding star in the modern R&B landscape, showcasing her strengths but also suffering from dipped quality when forraying out of slow-paced comfort zone.

Snoh Aalegra soars to new heights with the release of her third studio album, Highs In The Violet Skies.
