"Her music isn't just a listening experience, it's a feeling" -

One thought that keeps poking it's head out when I think of this album is that I guess it's a declaration of sorts: accepting loss for what it is has led me to accep- ting love for what it can be. "Can" is the key. "Can" means to be planted, grown, stretched, transferred, transformed, expanded, and personified. I learned so much while writing these songs. Even in moments charged by fear or uncertainty, I really wanted them to stand firm and not shy away from themselves, mirroring what I'd like to think I'm actively practicing in my real life. These days I try to wrap my arms tightly around the joy I've found through opening myself up to love and loss in all their complex shapes, but simultaneously throw them up over my head in radical surrender (occasionally through gritted teeth and closed fists, but surrendering nonethe-

LISTEN TO THE ALBUM

FIRE

Pick me up and take me home Reaching through my skin and bones

Changing my DNA Inch by inch

Minute by minute

All the time i used to waste Always falling by mistake

But you're rushing to my brain Like it's nothing

I'm jumping in headfirst and (Chorus)

Ooo, I'm on fire Ooo, I'm on fire

Pick me up and set me free Golden boy in dirty jeans Painting me in your light Wonder why I couldn't see it All the time I used to waste Always falling on my face But you're rushing to my brain Like it's nothing

I'm jumping in headfirst and (Chorus) x2

I wanna be where you are Anywhere else is too far I wanna be where you are Be where you are Be where you are, yeah

I wanna take you places

I wanna keep you safe and I wanna be where you are Be where you are Be where you are (Chorus)

(Outro)

SLOW MOTION

Dreaming 'bout you sinking into my bed Dizzy i see stars all around my head Lifting me up to the moon and back again You're my lucky penny, yeah You just make sens

I like to keep my cool but you're divine Mother Nature must've taken her time Come on, take me away I'll let you drive You're water and lemon over ice

(Pre)

It's late but i wanna stay A feeling i can't explain My ego's melting away

(Chorus)

I see everything in slow motion (Like a movie scene)

All the heavens suddenly opened (Hear the angels sing)

Heard you say it's me or its no one

No one gets through to me quite like you do So imma bet it all on you

Now i got you I'm lighter on my feet We flow like Badu, just two fish in the sea I'm missing you before you even leave Wishing there were more days in a week

(Pre) (Chorus)

I wanna stay I can't explain Melting away

(Chorus) (Outro)

CLEARLY

A million years later, here's you and me A million pages worth of all our history We were roaming in the desert, found an olive tree

No use in going back, deciding who was wrong

And toss the blame between us like a basket ball

I've learned that it takes two to tango, after all

(Pre)

Smoke cleared, we healed And no I don't hate you

We're on borrowed time and I don't wanna waste it

(Chorus)

I feel the ocean

Between us closing in Now were closer

And i see the fences mending slowly Can we be open Forget about the rest And start over?

For the first time I can see you clearly I visit the beginning and we've really grown

I've analyzed the ending through a telescope

Some things can work out until they just don't

Alessia Cara tutto quello che so sull'amore

Alessia Cara, everything I know about love

The young Italian-Canadian singer-songwriter returns on February 14 with her fourth album Love & Hyperbole, nine years after "Wild things", the song that made her famous among the general public. Alessia Cara is the new digital cover of Cosmopolitan Italia.

What do Brancaleone, a small town in the province of Reggio Calabria, on the tip of the boot, and Mississauga, a suburb of the Greater Toronto Area, in Canada, have in common? Little or nothing, it would seem. Yet forty years ago an Italian woman decided to leave in search of a better life, to build a family far from a complex territory, and so it goes. She becomes a hairdresser, marries an Italian-Canadian man and Alessia Caracciolo and her siblings are born, educated in the Italian way in the Canadian province.

When she is just a college student, Alessia discovers the power of her voice and manages to convince her parents to pay for a recording studio to record her first songs, while her classmates remain unaware of everything. Shy and completely new to the world of entertainment, with a family very distant from the circles, Alessia decides to radically change her life by listening to her talent.

DIGITAL COVER alessia cara

EUPHORIA.

Nearly 10 years ago, Canadian singer-songwriter Alessia Cara began making her mark as a hitmaker with a repertoire of relatable tunes. Her breakout songs, such as the anti-party anthem "Here" and the self-acceptance ballad "Scars To Your Beautiful," quickly propelled the then-teenager as not only a voice for her generation but an artist rooted in authenticity and vulnerability. With accolades that include becoming the first Canadian artist in history to win a GRAMMY for Best New Artist, a debut album, Know-It-All, racking up more than 4 billion Spotify streams, and a touring schedule that saw her supporting Coldplay in stadiums, Cara had both fans and critics eating up whatever she served.

As the milestone anniversary of her breakthrough quickly approaches, Cara reflects on her come-up, a time which she admits was completely foreign to her. With ambitions of becoming a star from childhood, Cara began uploading covers to YouTube from the age of 13. Describing that she came from a "blue-collar Italian family," Cara proclaims her knowledge of the industry was non-existent. "I don't think I really understood the gravity of what was happening to me. I'm actually quite thankful for that because I think if it had happened now that I'm older and have an awareness of how big and how scary things are, I don't know if I would've handled it as well to be quite honest," she tells EUPHORIA.

Nothing really matters: Alessia Cara finds freedom in letting go of industry pressure

From creative crisis to artistic rebirth, Alessia Cara emerges with a fourth album that embraces life's beautiful contradictions.

f you think about it, nothing really matters. This simple mantra sits at the heart of Alessia Cara's new album, 'Love & Hyperbole'. But fear not, Dear Reader, this isn't a maudlin, droll outing. Instead, this is all about letting the heft of worrying go and opting instead to seize the day has resulted in something that radiates positivity.

"Like, nothing matters in a good way," she cackles, clarifying the inherent notion. "None of these pressures are real. Everything is made up at the end of the day." It's this bluntness that freed Alessia not only as an artist but also breathed life into her fourth album. "Jumping into things and just being like, who cares?" she gestures.

The story behind LOVE & HYPERBOLE

Capturing the hearts of pop enthusiasts worldwide, Alessia Cara is back with her headline tour in celebration of her latest album, Love & Hyperbole. The Grammy award-winning artist hails from Mississauga, Ontario. Born Alessia Caracciolo, she is the voice to some of your favourite mid-2010s hits, such as "Scars to Your Beautiful" and "Stay." Since her breakthrough single "Here" in 2015, she has earned several awards, including the 2018 Grammy for Best New Artist and five Juno awards. An exceptional songwriter and talented musician, Cara has also contributed to several film soundtracks, including 2016's Moana.

After a decade of releasing music, her latest album is fourteen tracks of her most personal and mature songs to date. Love & Hyperbole is a testimony to her growth as an artist, exploring themes of introspection within isolation and relationships. Renowned for her intimate lyrics and unique voice, this album showcases her versatility, backed by a record almost entirely recorded live.

Coincidently, the interview marks ten years since Alessia Cara started releasing music-and she is not stopping any time soon. She is preparing to embark on an international headline tour, playing shows in Northern America, Asia, Australia, and Europe. Throughout our conversation, we talked about giving space for your feelings, embracing the serendipitous, and her newfound lightness, which was incredibly palpable.

"For Alessia Cara, emotion and connection is at the heart of her creative endeavors - hence why each of her three studio albums live in a unique world full of signature concepts, colors and themes built around them. Her music isn't just a listening experience, it's a feeling"

Billboard

The resentment keeps increasing in "Dead Man," an I've-had-enough song from Alessia Cara's new album, "Love & Hyperbole." As it does, the music grows more retro, moving through boom-bap drums to piano-pounding neo-soul, all the way to a brassy big-band arrangement that gives her annoyance some muscular swing.

The New York Times

Cara's fourth album should be considered her best release to date as she masterfully displays her growth over the years and her newfound understanding of the partnership between love and loss, as well as trusting the journey in between."

UPROXX

"The raw emotion from Alessia demonstrated throughout this album is inspiring, heartwarming and uplifting." "Love & Hyperbole' is anthemic, self-aware and shows listeners how confident Alessia is in herself as an artist. While it differs from her previous hits, such as 'Here', 'Love & Hyperbole' is sophisticated, honest and tender.

CLASH

"Remember when Alessia Cara was the voice of introvert anthems? The Canadian singer-songwriter has grown up, stepped out, and delivered her most ambitious work to date."

DORK

"Alessia Cara's fourth full-length record is a celebration of artistic and personal growth."

DIY

"In the process of finding the balance between joy and heartbreak, Cara has delivered her most self-assured and mature work to date. From the writing to the arrangement and performance, the 28-year old has managed to stake out a territory that feels fresh.

Sonically, there's a throwback funk and R&B influence in the music, but it plays through the lens of a modern and youthful perspective."

RIFF

"Released on Valentine's Day via Def Jam, Love & Hyperbole is Alessia Cara's boldest offering to date."
