As you can see on her Twitter timeline, Alessia Cara is a big SZA stan. And the feeling seems to be mutual.
​​On Saturday, Cara showed more love to the TDE artist by posting her rendition of "Drew Barrymore," the lead single off SZA’s debut studio album, CTRL.
“[H]ad this laying around for a bit so I decided to post it,” Cara wrote in the video’s description. “[T]his album is magic.”
You can listen to Cara’s “Drew Barrymore” cover above.
The 21-year-old Canadian singer has really made a name for herself since the release of her 2015 debut album Know-It-All. She’s delivered critically acclaimed hits like "Here," "Stay" with Zed, and "Scars to Your Beautiful," as well as a feature on Logic’s "1-800-273-8255."
In a March interview with Rolling Stone, Cara discussed the follow-up to Know-It-All, specifically the kind of sound she wanted to present.
"The last album was very metaphorical, lots of wordplay. Which I love. But I'm trying to see what will happen if I write a bit more simply. But sonically, I really wanna lean more toward the vibe of 'Here,' that kind of gritty pop-soul, R&B thing," she explained. "That's where my heart is, and I think that sound kind of got away from me a little bit just because I was young and so unsure of what I wanted to do."
Here's hoping her cover of SZA is a step in the right direction.
