Alessia Cara has dropped two new songs, Sweet Dream and Shapeshifter.
Led by a playful melody, the former is a bassy, upbeat pop offering, while the latter is a slower, smooth jazz-leaning track. Both are set to appear on the Def Jam signee's third album, though no further details on the new record have been revealed. She said:
"The theme of duality is recurring on this next album, so it made sense to release two songs to introduce both ends of the thread.
"The first side being Sweet Dream which represents the hardship and helplessness surrounding my last couple of years. It's about insomnia and the hoops my brain jumps through at night while I’m supposed to be asleep. Never fun! Then on the flip side, there’s Shapeshifter which is witty and sophisticated in a way that I feel represents the more mature and light-hearted parts of the album. I had to go through lots of pain to regain my footing and this song feels unwavering, despite it not being about the happiest of things."
Cara recently contributed her own take on Enter Sandman to the upcoming Metallica tribute album, 'The Metallica Blacklist', due out on September 10. She also appears as part of the worldwide 24-hour broadcast event Global Citizen Live on September 25, joining Billie Eilish, Lorde, The Weeknd, BTS and many more.
