Alessia Cara has a penchant for message songs that feel personal, not preachy, with a voice to match: rich and soulful, intimate but able to soar. Take her 2015 breakthrough, "Here"—a mellow anthem for introverts driven by a dusty sample and her smoky vocal—or the follow-up, "Scars to Your Beautiful", an ode to body positivity that builds to shout-along heights. The Canadian singer came up covering Amy Winehouse and Lorde and splits the same difference between R&B and pop, artful and widescreen. Wherever she goes, sincerity shines, as in Logic's song for suicide prevention, "1-800-273-8255", or Moana's aspirational theme, "How Far I'll Go".
