Snoh Aalegra official bio:
One of the most exciting voices in recent time, Iranian / Swedish singer and songwriter Sheri Nowrozi, better known as Snoh Aalegra, embodies a soulful sound reminiscent of Michael Jackson, Nina Simone, and Lauryn Hill, yet finds its own power, and connectivity, through Aalegra’s signature croon. Her music draws from the classic sounds of her idols as well as the experiences of her life as an Iranian woman who’s long felt like an outsider and now coming into her own.
Her breakout 2017 Feels album catapulted her to a major force receiving large acclaim and global recognition. Including praise from some of music’s heavyweights such as the iconic Prince, who was her mentor for two years before he passed, and luminary hip hop producer No I.D. In addition, she’s already collaborated with celebrated artists and producers such as Drake, Common, John Mayer, Vince Staples, James Fauntleroy, Boi-1da, DJ Dahi, RZA and many more. Deeply inspired by Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, among others, she’s created a sound that is reminiscent of her idols, yet lined with an authenticity and raw emotion that is unparalleled and a deep sense of outsiderdom that is largely universal.

I Want You Around lyrics:
It's not that I don't want you here (Yeah, yeah)
It's somethin' 'bout the way you stare into my eyes
I know that I don't make things clear (No)
I fall for you every time I try to resist you
We can get away
Palm trees, beach views
Ordinary day
All I wanna hear is Innervisions on replay
And sit right next to you, you
I try not to show how I feel about you
Thinkin' we should wait, but we don't really want to
I just wanna get away
And sit right next to you, you
I don't wanna kiss you yet
I just wanna feel you
Feel you
I want you around (Around)
Around
I want you around (Around)
Around ('Round, 'round, 'round)
I want you around
Around
I want you around
Around, around, 'round, 'round
I want you around
Come through, I think I need you here (What)
I swear it's hard to keep these feelings to myself
Now you're the one I'm thinkin' of
My higher ground, my rocket love
Fuck gravity, I'd rather stay up here, but...
We can get away
Palm trees, beach views
Ordinary day
All I wanna hear is Innervisions on replay
And sit right next to you, you
I try not to show how I feel about you
Thinkin' we should wait, but we don't really want to
I just wanna get away
And sit right next to you, you
I don't wanna kiss you yet
I just wanna feel you
Feel you
I want you around (Around)
Around
I want you around (Around)
Around ('Round, 'round)
I want you around (Know that I want you, yeah, yeah)
Around
I want you around (I want you around, yeah, yeah)
Around, around, 'round, 'round
I want you around
'Round, 'round, 'round, 'round
Oh, 'round
'Round, 'round, 'round, 'round
'Round, 'round, 'round
Want you around
