Description: On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Alessia Cara. Cara made an exceptional introduction with 2015’s “Here,” a sultry anthem dedicated to introverts who feel lost at house parties. Since then, she’s racked up billions of streams and bagged a Grammy for Best New Artist, becoming the first Canadian musician to earn the award. This past Valentine’s Day, Cara returned with her fourth studio album, Love & Hyperbole, a collection brimming with romance, personal growth, and more adventurous sounds. In a conversation with Madden, the singer opens up about her songwriting process, what inspires her the most, and her latest record. ------- Listen to their Artist Friendly conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify.⁠⁠⁠ ------- Follow Artist Friendly!
