Cara Delevingne: Music Mirrors Sobering Journey

Cara Delevingne has launched her music career with two new songs, 'I Forgot' and 'Out of My Head,' released last Friday. These tracks are deeply personal, drawing inspiration from her experiences with sobriety and mental health.

Delevingne revealed that 'Out of My Head' was influenced by her first year of sobriety and the internal conflicts she faced. She explained that the song's chorus reflects her daily effort to manage overthinking. The track 'I Forgot' aims to capture the raw landscape of mental health struggles and serve as a healthy emotional release.

She described 'I Forgot' as a song for intense emotional expression, particularly for releasing anger, which she found difficult to handle as an English person. Delevingne sought to make her music feel authentic, breaking through preconceptions to convey her flawed humanity and shared human pain.

The accompanying seven-minute music video for both songs was directed by Jessica Lee Gagné. Delevingne emphasized the cinematic quality of her music, which aligned perfectly with Gagné's visionary direction. Gagné initially declined due to a busy schedule but was moved to accept after connecting with the music.
