Alessia Cara has just dropped her latest single, “(Isn’t It) Obvious,” a heartfelt track that previews her much-anticipated fourth studio album, Love & Hyperbole, set to release on February 14, 2025. The single comes with an emotional and artistic music video, offering fans a glimpse into Cara’s evolution as both a powerhouse vocalist and an empathetic songwriter.
“(Isn’t It) Obvious” explores the challenges of long-distance relationships, capturing the feelings of being physically apart from a loved one while reassuring them of unconditional love. Alessia’s lyricism shines through in lines like, “I see it on your face and on your mind… You’re gripping on the waist of other times,” highlighting the vulnerability of such moments. Adding to the track’s allure, John Mayer contributes a soulful guitar solo, which Alessia called a dream collaboration inspired by her admiration for his work.
This new single follows the release of “Dead Man,” another emotionally charged track from Love & Hyperbole, which has been described by critics as a “haunted pop statement” that showcases her jazz-pop influences. Alessia Cara’s upcoming album promises to be her most personal and mature work yet, continuing the journey that has earned her billions of streams, global recognition, and a GRAMMY® Award.
