Snoh Aalegra released her new album Legendary Love on November 13, 2026, her first full-length release in five years. The 13-track album is out now via Stem, through her own Feels Run Free imprint, and it arrives with a London-shot video for the standout track Supernova.

The album closes a long gap. Aalegra wrote and recorded the record over two and a half years, shaping the songs around a karmic relationship that never fully materialized, and documenting her own growth in the process. The final early single, Warmest Shade Of Blue, landed earlier this week, and the full Legendary Love album followed on Friday.

The Legendary Love album tracklist runs two sides

The sequencing is deliberate. Side one opens with Run Free and moves through I Love You, Karma, Danger, This That and Repair before closing with Just Friends. Side two opens with Warmest Shade Of Blue and runs through Timeless, Nothing Compares and Supernova, then the title track Legendary Love, and closes with Greatest Of All Time. Three singles led the rollout: Karma, I Love You, which arrived on October 21 with a video directed by Alfred Marroquin, and Just Friends, released on October 28 as the seventh track on the album.

The full tracklist is: 1. Run Free, 2. I Love You, 3. Karma, 4. Danger, 5. This That, 6. Repair, 7. Just Friends, 8. Warmest Shade Of Blue, 9. Timeless, 10. Nothing Compares, 11. Supernova, 12. Legendary Love, 13. Greatest Of All Time.

Supernova brings the album to London

The Supernova video, directed by Alfred Marroquin, finds Aalegra dashing through London, and it gives the album a visual centre on release day. Watch it here:

In a message to listeners shared alongside the release, Aalegra dedicated the record to the relationship behind it:

To a love that felt written long before we met, even if it only lived in a moment. A karmic, ancient memory I recognized before I understood it. This album is my dedication to what never arrived in my hands, but still took root in my chest like something sacred.

Babyface, Jimmy Jam and a Canadian contributor

The sound is built on period detail. Aalegra chased the warm nostalgia of 1980s R&B and recorded every synthesizer, drum machine and guitar line on authentic vintage gear. She co-wrote with Babyface, and the contributor list mixes generations: Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Raphael Saadiq on bass and Nile Rodgers on guitar, alongside contemporary collaborators Mustafa, producer Dahi and Toronto singer Daniel Caesar. The Caesar credit gives the album a direct Canadian thread, one of the era-defining R&B voices of the last decade contributing to a record built from the sounds that shaped him as well. Joel Compass reunited with Aalegra for the album, and a new creative partnership with Josh Grant helped forge its true-to-life sound.

Reviews on release day have singled out I Love You, built on Rodgers guitar and Saadiq bass, and the Babyface co-write Timeless as early standouts, with Supernova noted as the album’s one move into synth-funk.

A five-year gap, closed on her own terms

The five-year wait is part of the record’s weight. Legendary Love is Aalegra’s fourth studio album, following Temporary Highs in the Violet Skies, and it is her first full-length statement since that album cycle closed. Rather than returning on a major label’s schedule, she released it through her own Feels Run Free imprint with Stem handling distribution, and she shaped it around a single relationship, written through in real time as it rose and ended. Early critical reads have framed the album as vintage romance with modern restraint: a quiet-storm record built from period instruments, where the restraint is the point and the songs carry the drama.

That framing fits the tracklist’s shape. The first side is the fall, all rush and recognition, from Run Free through Karma and I Love You. The second side is the reckoning, opening on Warmest Shade Of Blue and closing on Greatest Of All Time, a title that reads as both a claim about the love and a claim about the record itself. Legendary Love is streaming in full now, and a cream vinyl variant is available to pre-order alongside the digital release.
