Alessia Cara is a Canadian singer-songwriter from Toronto, Canada. She is currently signed to EP Entertainment/Def Jam Recordings and is best known for Here, her debut single from her upcoming debut album. Prior to her work with EP Entertainment/Def Jam, Cara was known for her acoustic song covers on YouTube.
"Here" is unapologetically autobiographical: "'Here' is a true story," Alessia confesses. "It’s a party song, but really it's the complete opposite of a party song. It’s absolutely me; it shouts out the person in the corner of the party, looking around uncomfortably. I feel like this song narrates what the wallflower is thinking."
There’s a new breed of pop star seizing hold of the world's airwaves and online— more accurately, a conscious pop star who has set to subversively top charts and sway hearts and minds. This enigma embodied is 18-year-old, Canadian-Italian Alessia Cara, who is riding the refrains of her ironic anthem, “Here.” Premiered by The Fader, “Here” garnered over 500,000 total streams in its first week as well as hit #1 on Spotify, resounding praise for its freshness and insight.
Alessia’s mature pen game is matched by her larger-than-life voice; she’s dazzlingly chameleon-like, boasting the kind of versatility that makes Rihanna such a force. In short, Alessia has cause to be confident, but she is still the bashful, small-town girl, even in the big city. Alessia is equal parts fresh face, old soul, newcomer and lifer.
Just heard "Here" for the first time today & I've played it like 30 times. I am obsessed with it. She might be stan-worthy if she comes with more bops like this.
Thread is so dead. Where my fellow fans at?
Anyways, she's coming to my popular local radio station's music event. Not sure if I should go since I hate the lineup.

Finally listened to the EP.
I was gonna wait for the album since I didn't want to hear 1/3 of it before it came out but I figured one listen won't hurt.
I'm Yours is godly
