The Norfolk State Spartans take on the Old Dominion Monarchs at home on Tuesday, April 8th!
Sensitive, strong-minded, and undeniably soulful, Alessia Cara writes songs that speak to the most hidden parts of the heart. Since signing with Def Jam Recordings at just 18-years-old, the Toronto-based singer/songwriter’s down-to-earth honesty and larger-than-life talent have earned her massive acclaim and countless accolades, including five Juno Awards and a 2018 GRAMMY for Best New Artist. In the making of her fourth album Love & Hyperbole, Alessia brought her newly emboldened vision to a body of work exploring emotional territory previously uncharted in her music: the beautifully strange thrill of finding true happiness.
