Confession? I really love Snoh Aalegra. There’s just something super special about her overall sound and how she delivers her music to the masses. So it’s no surprise her new ‘Sweet Tea’ anthem is just right and sparks an immediate need for her to dish out the song’s origin with Apple Music.

Snoh links with Apple Music 1’s Eddie Francis to discuss her latest single, its origin, linking up with producer No I.D. and her strategy for putting out audio gems. Tap in.

Snoh Aalegra Tells Apple Music About The Origin of “Sweet Tea”…

I wrote it prior to kind of finishing up the production and once it was completed, it just really felt really spiritual in a way. It also has one of my favorite bridges I've ever written, and that bridge really takes me to another place in the song. I work a lot with No I.D. At the time, he was working a lot with Greg Phillinganes and he kept telling me that we should all work and we finally made it happen and I feel like they really brought the song to life. They took it to somewhere else from when I had written it and it was just really special to finish it up with them. And it was just a very special experience being in the studio with both of them… and yeah, he's such an incredible musician and No I.D. really knew where I wanted to take this song. So I thought it was so perfect that we made it with Greg. I feel so much when I hear certain chords and that's just really what this is, all these magical chords that Greg knows how to play.…so we all did it together and it always depends on how a song is made. This one in particular, I had written it prior and then we try to finish it with the music and everything. Sometimes when I work with No I.D. it's like I'm writing to his music, to his beats, so it all comes together differently. But this one was like that, where we were just all in the room and figured it out together and just felt it all together. So it's really special.

Snoh Aalegra Tells Apple Music How She Decides When To Release New Music… 

I just love obviously making music, I've been making music my whole life, but I just put out stuff that I'm really proud of and that I want people to hear. So it's just that.I don't like to rush anything or put a timestamp on anything or like, "Oh, I have to put out music." Just, it got to feel right. I can't force it.
