“Rooting For You” and “Ready” follow “Out Of Love,” Cara’s single from her sophomore album, “The Pains of Growing,” released last November. She is currently touring with Shawn Mendes and will begin her own headlining U.S. tour on October 21st at the Orpheum Theater in Boston.
Cara is still riding the success of her debut album “Know It All,” which was released in 2015 and spawned the hit singles “Here” and “Scars to Your Beautiful.” She followed that success with a pair of guest spots on massive singles, Zedd’s “Stay” and Logic’s anti-suicide anthem “1-800-273-8255.”
