Allegra announces herself with “Refund,” a highlight from her debut album, 'Unsent Love Letters Vol. 1.' Full of sass and self-assuredness, the song captures the instant of final clarity when it’s time to sever ties and leave. Like so much of her music, Allegra’s mix of sparkling production and razor-sharp delivery turns heartbreak into empowerment and shows she isn’t afraid to call out what no longer serves her.
This track was written from that femme perspective; it pushes an infectious energy through the rhythmic beats and spirited melodies that reflect the ups and downs of that emotional rollercoaster. Allegra’s delivery is fierce without effort, an anchoring presence that reinforces the song’s theme of seizing back self-worth. No note stands amiss, and "Refund" becomes the battle cry of those fully prepared to take steps forward without looking back.
Many of Allegra’s songs are unapologetically blunt about romance and heartbreak, and “Skeleton” drives that point home with a message of independence and self-respect. The clever “refund” metaphor also gives the track a bit of levity, if not an acerbic edge; this is a breakup turned transaction gone awry, and she’s ready to cash out. It’s a new, relatable take on release, supported by production that maintains listeners’ attention from beginning to end.
"Refund" also highlights Allegra’s ability to balance vulnerability with empowerment, a feat that would become emblematic of an artist already coming into her own. And with this track, she’s making sure everyone knows she’s worth more.
