Don't Explain is the second EP by Swedish singer Snoh Aalegra. It was released on 8 April 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]
