Scars To Your Beautiful:你值得拥有!
生活里,工作中,你会不会羡慕着别人,嫌弃着自己?
嫌弃自己不好看就去整容,结果你妈妈都不认识你是谁了,你还说做自己。
听着Alessia Cara的这首《Scars To Your Beautiful》,心里总会充满希望:
为什么非要成为别人呢,没有什么比做真实的自己更美好。
所有的美好,你值得拥有。最漂亮的一击,叫忠于自己!
想必大家更熟悉的是Alessia和戳爷Troye Sivan合作的《WILD》以及跟Zedd合作的《Stay》吧。
出生于1996年的Alessia是一位加拿大女歌手,年纪虽然不大,但是音域广,肺活量突出,有‘铁肺’之称。
她一出道就拿下加拿大重要音乐奖Juno Awards最具突破新人大奖,获得2016年全美音乐奖最佳新人提名。
今年8月,Alessia凭借《Stay 》和《Scars To Your Beautiful》分别获得第34届MTV音乐录影带大奖“最佳舞曲录影带”和“最佳体制对抗”奖。
