Alessia Cara covered Nelly Furtados breakthrough hit Im Like a Bird for the Spotify Singles series. Cara also recorded a stripped-down, poignant take on herThe Pains of Growing track Out of Love for the streaming service.
Caras take on Furtados debut single remains faithful to the bright, liberating tone of the 2000 hit. On the acoustic cover, Caras voice perfectly matches the warmness of the original. As part of the Spotify Singles two-song package, Cara turned her heartbreak ballad Out of Love into something even more affecting with her acoustic rendition. Cara swaps out the albums use of a string section with an acoustic guitar for the live take.
The Pains of Growing is Caras sophomore album and was released last year. The LP features Caras first credits as sole producer on three of the tracks. Earlier last year, she took home the Grammy Award for Best New Artist, which followed her achieving her first two Top 10 hits with Logics 1-800-273-8255 and Zedds Stay.
