Snoh Aalegra's songs about romantic love tend to feel at once sensual and wounded. But even in the most downtrodden moments of her third full-length album TEMPORARY HIGHS IN THE VIOLET SKIES, her voice still draws you closer even as the lyrics suggest pulling away. The singer continues to assert her presence on an R&B stage that welcomes both the soulful contours of her voice and the nuance of her lyrics.
