Cara Delevingne musical debut and activism

Overview

Musician and model Cara Delevingne promoted her debut musical project, ‘Not Normal’, through television appearances and its subsequent release. During an appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, Delevingne performed her song ‘Crazy, Baby’ and discussed the upcoming album. During the interview, she shared an anecdote about singer Stevie Nicks attending a Los Angeles concert and gifting Delevingne a ring after expressing that she “felt the pain in the music.”

Following the album’s release, which features production by BJ Burton and involvement from Fiona Apple, Delevingne’s activities expanded to include fashion and activism. While participating in Paris Fashion Week as a global ambassador for L’Oréal Paris, she utilized her platform to advocate for female empowerment, mental health awareness, diversity, and LGBTQIA+ rights.

In discussions regarding her transition into music, Delevingne stated her desire to create a sound rooted in “a pure place of emotion.” She revealed that past struggles with adolescent substance abuse and resulting feelings of “self-hatred” caused her to delay her music career, as she felt unable to manage public scrutiny while not sober. She also noted that the songwriting process for tracks like ‘Need It’ involved exchanging handwritten notes with collaborators.
