Last year Allegra released her EP Red and stepped into a fiery new era of self-assured dance-pop built on empowerment and growth. We caught up with Allegra to discuss her EP, plans for 2026 and her FAULTs.

FAULT Magazine: When you look back on the release of Red, would you say listeners understood the message you were trying to convey with the record?
Allegra: Absolutely, the response was incredible; my fans connected with the empowerment and fiery self-love… especially when the music video came out. I think that gave them an extra way to connect with the song.

FAULT Magazine: “Red” feels controlled and self-assured. Is there a key ingredient in your creative process that allows that confidence to fully come through?
Allegra: I think right now in my life, I know who I am after many lessons and learning through heartbreak and life in general. Because of that, I feel more confident in my music and want to share that with my fans.

FAULT Magazine: How did you decide when a song needs vulnerability versus when it needs a club-anthem release?
Allegra: It depends on what mood I’m in when I’m writing and what I’m feeling. I showed my raw vulnerability in my first EP, Unsent Love Letters, and once I worked through that and was over my heartbreak, I wanted to be strong and confident, and that’s where Red came in.

FAULT Magazine: Do you feel more protective of your vision now than you did at the start of your career?
Allegra: Starting at 14 taught me to experiment but also learn from others, but now I guard my vision and what I want to put out to my fans. Releasing music that means something not only to me, but also to my fans is so important to me.

FAULT Magazine: As you move into 2026, what excites you most creatively?
Allegra: Releasing my next EP for sure and working with new people. I also want to do some live performances this year.

FAULT Magazine: Is there anything about your upcoming projects that feels scary or risky, but necessary for your growth?
Allegra: I think putting yourself out there is always a bit risky and scary. You want to be different and to connect with others. I always worry about how much I share, but I like to be an open book. Growing is always important, and growing with your fans is even more important.

FAULT Magazine: Dance music is often about escape—what do you personally need music to give you at this stage of your life?
Allegra: Music is my first love; it’s a way I can release my emotions. Wherever I am in the world, I always have music on. I think it’s just having the vibrations and another form of expression that helps you work through things, but in another way.

FAULT Magazine: You started music so young—was it difficult to cope with the pressures of the music industry from an early age?
Allegra: It was tough, yes, because I was in school and I hated sitting in a classroom knowing I could be in a studio writing, but I am grateful my parents told me to stick with it and get my degree; that doesn’t mean I didn’t hate it at times haha.

FAULT Magazine: What’s been the most challenging part of your musical journey so far?
Allegra: The shift from dance music to mature pop is a challenge. People know me for my club anthems and might not like the shift, but it’s up to me to convince them this is what I like and want to release. It’s hard when you have built your fanbase from more club- and dance-leaning music.

FAULT Magazine: When people look back at this Red era, what do you hope it represents in your wider musical journey?
Allegra: A pivotal glow-up! Haha, I’ve had a real shift in energy, and Red is only the beginning.
