The sensitive, strong-minded, and undeniably soulful, Alessia Cara, is bringing the Love & Hyperbole Tour to the Event Centre at Grey Eagle Resort and Casino this May!

Since signing with Def Jam Recordings at just 18-years-old, the Toronto-based singer/songwriter’s down-to-earth honesty and larger-than-life talent have earned her massive acclaim and countless accolades, including five Juno Awards and a 2018 GRAMMY for Best New Artist. In the making of her fourth album Love & Hyperbole, Alessia brought her newly emboldened vision to a body of work exploring emotional territory previously uncharted in her music: the beautifully strange thrill of finding true happiness.

The follow-up to In the Meantime—a 2021 LP hailed as a “mighty pop opera” (Rolling Stone),“a sleek ode to in-between states” (Pitchfork), and “an inspired blend of hard truths and tropical bops” (NME)—Love & Hyperbole marks the latest turn in a dynamic career that kicked off with Alessia’s five-times-platinum, chart-topping, record-shattering breakthrough single “Here.” In bringing the album to life, Alessia joined forces with A-list producers like Mike Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Joy Oladokun), Greg Kurstin (Paul McCartney, Adele), and Yakob (SZA, Lauv), dreaming up a lush and free-flowing sound informed by her love of timeless rock and pop from the ’60s and ’70s (e.g., late-career Beatles, Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac). Mainly recorded live—with the help of guest musicians like superstar guitarist John Mayer—Love & Hyperbole endlessly matches its raw emotion and unbridled energy with a newly heightened mastery of her sophisticated musicianship.

“More than anything I’ve ever done before, this album feels closest to what I actually listen to—it was like I was playing with a whole new canvas where the colors were made up of all the elements I love most in my favorite music,” says Alessia. “I was very meticulous about seeing everything through and tweaking every little detail. I think that’s the only way you can make your best possible work.”
