Oct 10, 2019TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Alessia Cara is one of my top 3 artists, and I first became a fan after the release of this album. The first song I heard was Wild Things, and I had never heard anyone with a similar voice to hers. Here and Scars to Your Beautiful are the most popular songs on the album but my favourites were Seventeen and My Song. As I am 17 right now, the song is very relatable about how you just want to freeze time. My Song is a positive and fun song with powerful lyrics. I enjoyed and still do every song on this album. I would recommend this to anyone who is already a fan of Alessia's new music, and to those who just want to hear a beautiful singer. @Mr.Balance of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Alessia is a very talented Canadian born singer-songwriter that actually is very underrated in my opinion. Know-it-all is the debut studio album that was released on November 13th, 2015 through Def Jam Recordings. I’m sure that most of you know that she has the song “How far I’ll Go” in the popular movie Moana, and she has some body positivity songs like “Scars to your beautiful.” She is definitely a talented singer that is mostly pop oriented, but, there is R&B in this album. This album has actually led Cara to win the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2018! This album is definitely worth listening to and the songs are definitely going to get stuck in your head. Her voice is so unique and what she can do with it is absolutely shocking! I personally will give this album 4 out of 5 stars! @SpookyCat of The Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board Know-It-All is the debut full-length album by Canadian born singer and songwriter Alessia Cara. Aside from her radio hits, I had yet to listen to a full-album from her, and I can now say I was pleasantly surprised. Seventeen is about the struggles of growing up. The changes and fear of the "new", that Cara really embodies and expresses in a way that's relatable and her own. Here really is the song that in my opinion, established Cara's success. Her feelings of doubt and self-awareness in a social setting really was something many can relate to and was to her benefit. Know-It-All really shows Cara's potential. She has a sound similar to that of a young Taylor Swift talking about growing up and love, but in her own ways. Her relatability in her songs in something that really stuck out to me and I'd highly recommend giving this album a listen. 4 Stars @Ruby_Tuesday of the Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board
