Don't Explain is the second EP by Swedish singer Snoh Aalegra. It was released on April 8, 2016 through ARTium Recordings. It contains features and production from James Fauntleroy, No I.D., Boi-1da, Christian Rich and DJ Dahi.[1][2]
The EP features a cover of the 1944 song, "Don't Explain" by Billie Holiday and Arthur Herzog Jr.[3] John Mayer plays guitar on "Under the Influence",[4] and the final track, "Chaos", was written by Sia.[5]
In a review for DJBooth, Lucas Garrison compared Aalegra's style on the EP to Drake, pointing in particular to the similarity in contributors, as Frank Dukes, Boi-1da and DJ Dahi also worked on Drake's 2016 album Views.[6]
