Canadian singer-songwriter
live album, and several guest features. She bought her first guitar at age 10 and taught herself how to play by ear. Three years later, Cara started a YouTube channel where she would post cover versions of popular music.[1] Aged 16, she hired EP Entertainment as her management team and signed with Def Jam Recordings. Cara began writing songs for her debut studio album, Know-It-All (2015), with Sebastian Kole and its producers Pop & Oak.[2] She released the four-track R&B and pop extended play (EP) Four Pink Walls in August 2015, followed by the album three months later.[3][4] The latter, an "album about youth and teenage life" according to Cara, included 10 songs co-written by her; Billboard's Clover Hope thought it displayed "a strong sense of adolescent idealism and a spoonful of smart cynicism".[5][6][7]
Cara co-wrote all 15 songs featured on her second studio album, Jon Levine.[11] The Christmas EP Holiday Stuff was released the following year.[12] Her third studio album, In the Meantime (2021), included 18 songs co-written by her; Rolling Stone's Sarah Grant described it as "a mighty pop opera" that guides listeners through the five stages of grief.[13][14]
Cara has contributed songs to film soundtracks: "How Far I'll Go" (2016) to Moana, "The Other Side" (2017) to The Get Down Part II, and "Feel You Now" and "Last Goodbye" (both 2021) to Blade Runner: Black Lotus. She has been featured as a guest artist on songs by several other artists, including Logic's "1-800-273-8255" and Zedd's "Stay" in 2017. In 2021, Cara was among more than 40 artists who recorded "Himno a La Alegria" as "a voice of harmony and hope" to promote "a kinder and more humane world".[15]
