Alessia Cara leaped into superstardom when she released her debut single, "Here", back in April. The 19-year-old pop and R&B artist charmed listeners instantly with her pure and passionate vocals and songwriting on it, and, ever since, she's gone on to release outstanding EP Four Pink Walls, accumulate loads of media attention, and perform on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Now, just over six months since that debut EP, she's bringing us her very first album, Know-It-All, and, it's just as wonderful as we expected. If you've been paying attention to her releases, you'll already be familiar with about half of the material on it, as the first five songs are all from the aforementioned work, but, what new material exists will certainly satisfy cravings for her work. ("Overdose", "Scars To Your Beautiful", and "Wild Things" are, in particular, standout cuts.) As a relative newcomer to the mainstream scene, Alessia has impressed immensely with her Def Jam-released debut album here, and we're fully expecting it to just be the very beginning of an incredible career she's set to have. Get Know-It-All on iTunes now.
