As a kid, the future supermodel dreamed of being a musician—learning to play drums and piano, writing her own angsty lyrics, and even briefly signing a record deal with Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller, who wanted to launch her as a cookie-cutter pop star. But life took Cara Delevingne in a different direction as one of the biggest models of the 2010s, with her blend of aristocratic ancestry and roguish insouciance. After leaving the fashion industry in 2015, Delevingne spiraled into years of alcohol and drug addiction, ultimately getting sober in 2022. Following years of random guest spots on tracks by the likes of Fiona Apple, MGK, and St. Vincent, Not Normal represents the fashion icon’s first full-length foray into music—a suite of songs that probe intense subjects like addiction and dissociation, countering tender art-pop with harsh bursts of electronic distortion. (Apple, a longtime friend, has co-writing credits on “Need It.”) “Was it all a dream?/I couldn’t feel a thing,” she sings on “I Forgot,” the sonic embodiment of an existential crisis. But the mood lifts on “Crazy, Baby,” a glitchy, slightly unhinged love song to her partner of four years.
