Distant World Tour: Day #15 01/28/15 - Estado Do Morumbi, Sao Paulo - Brazil
Tour Article [307 Words]
Cara Delevingne performed last night the sixth date of the 'Distant World Tour' which seems like it's going to be one of the most successful tours this year, as Cara is effortlessly selling out stadiums all around the world.

Cara's performance was impressive and beautiful, Cara having impressed the crowd with her vocals which have been getting better and better every night, with her dance moves due to the heavily choreographed performances throughout the night for all the different songs, the theatrics, as the stage was just beautiful with it's depiction of a palace merging a classic or Antique aspect with modern aspects or visuals, and was compared to a modern version of Kylie Minogue's own stage during her Les Folies Tour back in 2011. The concerts was held in 4 acts and showed a stage that looked like a cavern opening with gigantic rock walls all around the stage with some precious gems encrusted in it and a screen behind the rocks. The show was amazing. New dates were announced by Cara herself and more will soon be added.

NRJ Music Awards
706 Words
Cara Delevingne flew all the way from Argentina where she had performed at for the latest date of her very successful Distant World Tour, to Paris, which also will be the first European city at which the Distant World Tour will perform at as the European leg of the tour will start next week. "Paris is such a beautiful city. The fans here have been amazing and we had so much fun meeting them. I just love just me being in my car and going through the different Parisian roads." Cara said in an interview with Fun Radio, one of the biggest radios in France for which she gave an interview earlier.
But the big appearance in the city was at the NRJ Music Awards held by NRJ which have been giving out awards to many different artists around the globe. Cara Delevingne won all the categories she was nominated in which were 'Best International Female Artist', 'Best International Artist', 'Best International Song' for her single 'La Belle' but her two other singles 'Honey' and 'Fall Out' were also nominated in this category. She also has won the 'Best International Album' Category for her album 'Distant Horizon'.
Cara first walked on the red carpet wearing a beautiful Ellie Saab couture cream colored dress with some beautiful details. Her hair was waved and pushed to the right side of her face which was covered in Tory Burch make up. While she posed for all the photographers who were at the event Cara's name was being screamed by the fans present at the event. Cara was definitely the biggest celebrity at the event, thanks to her 3 consecutive #1s in France with 'La Belle', 'Honey' and now 'Fall Out' and her #1 album 'Distant Horizon', which has been selling great in France as well and which is one the track to reaching 500 thousand sales in France, which would make it Diamond in France.
Cara's performance was a big medley of all three hit singles which made her so big in France this year. The medley started off with 'La Belle'. Wearing a black small corset top with black leather pants and large golden boots, Cara appeared on stage among the flames which were all over the stage, as the performance used many different special effects. After a powerful performance filled with an impressive choreography, a minute and a half into the song, the music switched up and Cara got down to her knees. Suddenly two male dancers tore her outfit apart, eaving her in a black Victoria's Secret Bikini, and gave her a pink lace jacket. Cara started singing the raunchy 'Honey' along with all of it's choreography and a sultry voice. The song ended when Cara took her jacket off, was given a gold leather jacket and a black cap with 'CARA' written on it, while a large open-roof car appeared on stage with Jay-Z standing in it. Cara joins him and starts singing 'Fall Out' to the heavy beat.
After the show, Cara was backstage at the press room at which Cara answered questions asked by the many photographers present at the awards show. "I so happy I received all those awards, just look at them, they are beautiful! Getting those 4 major awards in one night is great!" Cara also took twitter to express how thankful she is: "Beautiful night in paris as usual. Thank you for all those awards! #Paris #NRJAwards" she tweeted. SHe also tweeted: "So I ran into Stromae at the show, he was great person to talk to as usual, we talked about album 3 and things are moving!"
The medley had a positive effect on Cara Delevingne's chart performance in France as the album 'Distant Horizon' was back at #1 on ITunes France and 'Fall Out' was back on top while the two other singles 'La Belle' and 'Honey' were in the top 5. A music video for 'Fall Out' is supposed to be released very soon. 'Fall Out', Cara Delevingne's current single, features Jay-Z and is now available along with a remixes ep for it which features remixes with Kendrick Lamar and ASAP Rocky. 'Distant Horizon', Cara Delevingne's latest album is also available and will soon be re-released.

Le Grand Journal
753 Words
Cara Delevingne is in France Right now, doing some major promotion for her album 'Distant Horizon' and the brand new single 'Fall Out' which is a collaboration with the american rapper Jay-Z. The British pop sensation has already performed at the NRJ Music Awards earlier which led to a boost of her sales even though she already had some impressive numbers in France. To further push her sales in the country, Cara Delevingne stopped by Le Grand Journal, on which she performed her latest single along with answering a few questions as part of her interview for the show.
Cara Delevingne walked on stage wearing a red simple and cute dress created by Azzedine Alaia. When her name was announced, the whole crowd roared and got up and Cara walked on stage to the sound of the loud cheering, screaming and the fans trying to get a glimpse of her. She already had expressed her love for Paris and France in general in an intevriew with FUn Radio earlier however she talked about it again as an introduction during the show before the more 'serious' interview started:
You constantly say a city can inspire and influence the music, what exactly do ou mean by that and how do you think the place you're at influences your music?
Well I say that because I genuinely think the place you're at can have an effect on the music due to how the people around you act and affect you. It's not necessarily something positive or negative, it just exist and will give your music a certain vibe to it. My album 'Distant Horizon' was created in New York City and has a very important New York City sound in it. My next album is mostly worked on when I'm in Europe, sometimes here in France and others when I'm in Milan. It will get a certain vibe from both cities which could give the music a different sound.
What are your inspirations this time around? What has been inspiring you for this third album?
Well I had been listening to a lot of Eurodance and also some Loud-era Rihanna. You know I'm a big fan of Rihanna and she's a close friend. Her album 'Loud' has some important Eurodance inspiration and that also introduced me to it. I also met Stromae who's a great musician who basically mixes some Urban kind of betas to Eurodance and created great music, and he worked with me a lot on this third album. I can't wait to show some more of it to my fans.
You talk about the album as if it's nearly done, is it? how long have you been working on it?
Oh No no no, it's clearly not done. But it's getting to a certain point where I just know what I want. It's a "That's it, that's what I want it to sound like" kind of point. I've been working on it ever since I finished working on 'Distant Horizon' which was early December. But the serious work on it was mostly in January so far and not that much as I really wanted to record it at specific places and I can't be in Milan all the time due to my schedule.
Thank you for coming Cara, it was great having you on the show. One last question, do you have any projects besides music right now?
Not really. I just want to make the best music possible you know. I'm trying to perfect everything about my album and create everything and make it as good as possible. I'm just really in a very dedicated phase. Aside from music, there's the constant creation of my CARA collection, which will have it's latest collection revealed this week at the Paris Fashion Week and I'm creating a perfume, but both of these things really are over a time where I can have some time off music.
Cara then got up and changed into another Azzedine Alaia dress, which was light blue this time and she also wore a pair of beautiful metallic Jimmy Choo heels. The look made her look amazing and Cara sang her latest single 'Fall Out' which features Jay-Z and which has reached the #1 spot in France and is predicted to debut pretty high in the US. 'Fall Out' is now available and is featured on the album 'Distant Horizon' which is now available both digitally and physically and will soon be re-released as the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack.

Incroyable Talent
712 Words
Cara Delevingne just finished a performance on the French version of America's Got Talent, which is called 'Incroyable Talent' and which is also known as 'La France a Du Talent' (France got Talent). The performance had been regularly promoted on various hours of the day in the past few weeks because it's starting to be a known fact that every Cara Delevingne appearance on TV automatically raises the number of viewers and create massive hype. All of this thanks to Cara's latest album 'Distant Horizon', which after selling over a million copies within less than two weeks and nearing two million copies sold and becoming one of the biggest albums of the year, and thats not counting the re-release which will boost even more all those sales. "France has been very supportive of me this era, so I'm pleased to be here so much, and that's not even counting how beautiful the country is and how much fun I'm having right now." Cara said during a radio interview earlier.
For her performance on Incroyable Talent, also known as La France a Du Talent, Cara wore a beautiful red leotard which had an extra red skirt which flowed beautifully. Cara was accompanied by Jay-Z who had to rap he's verse from the song 'Fall Out', which was the song Cara performed. After an impressive intro with a large amount of dancers standing all around a metallic structure constructed for the performance, cara appeared on the top of the structure. She started rapping the song right from the chorus before jumping into the verse. All of this while the dancers were dancing all around the stage and Cara joined in the choreography during an instrumental breakdown part. Jay-Z then appeared on the structure before going down on the regular stage and getting near the crowd who started to go wild. Cara started moving in between the audience members before ending her lap on the judges table on which she danced during the dance breakdown.
After the performance, the host was back on stage praising both Cara and Jay-Z for the performance and asked Cara a few questions:
First of all, congratulations on your wins at the NRJ Music Awards!
Thank you so much I'm glad the country has been so supportive of me.
You're playing two sold out stade de france concerts in just a few days, are you scared of performing in front of so many people?
Well I get nervous, I always get nervous before I perform, whether it's on tour or on a TV show or a radio performance or anything. But then I get some confidence after hearing all my fans cheering. And now I can say I performed in front of over a hundred thousand people within one concert! Touring and performing really is just what I like.
Would you ever be a judge on a TV competition show such as La France a Du Talent/Incroyable Talent?
Maybe, why not? It would be something interesting to do. As long as I can continue doing my own music I'm fine with exploring other things.
What do you think of our different contestants?
Well They all have something special, I've seen them doing their thing, everyone is special for doing what they do. I hope they are as passionate in what they do as I am in what I do, music. Because you're going to need a lot of effort and dedication to succeed.
When Can we expect another album by you to be released?
Well My album's re-release as the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack is out in just a few weeks so my fans have that to wait till the next full actual album. The next album is out actually quite soon when you think about it. Not really that much of a wait till it's released due to the fact 'Distant Horizon' was only released less than a month ago actually.
Who else in the industry do you think is doing great music right now? Who should we bring next on the show?
Well I've been obsessing over Stromae and he sings in french so getting him would be great for Incroyable Talent! Also Azealia Banks or Rihanna, I'm close to both and they are both really good.

Cara X On N'est Pas Couché
705 Words
Yet another interview and appearance on French TV for Cara, as Cara Delevingne has been promoting on shows such as Le Grand Journal, La France a Du Talent and has even performed at the NRJ Music Awards, Cara was basically everywhere in France after being everywhere in South America a few days ago. All this travelling is mostly due to her Distant World Tour but also due to a fe other factors, such as Cara performing at the NRJ Music Awards, and later on the BRIT Awards in just a few days, but also for the premiere of her latest collection for her own self-tilted brand 'CARA', which is premiering at the Paris Haute Couture Fashion week and at which Cara will perform.
Miss Delevingne's latest appearance was on the popular French TV Talk show On N'est Pas Couché which features multiple guest per episode, all of whom interact and discuss various subjects. Cara answered questions concerning her latest album 'Distant Horizon' and the creation f her next album which will be the third, on the show. Cara also then performed the singles 'La Belle' and 'Honey' in a medley in a last effort to push both singles' sales along with a performance for her newest single 'Fall Out' which features Jay-Z.
When did you start working on 'Distant Horizon' and how much time did it take you to complete it? DO you think it will take just as long to create your third album?
Well 'Distant Horizon' was in the works ever since October 2013 up to December 2014. And I was really lost during that time, I didn't know exactly what to do... I let some producers tell me just what I had to do and all that. It just didn't feel right anymore, it was my music I wanted to be in full control. Obviously my record label helped me with all this but the final decision on what the album would sound like was based on my series of choices. I went through complicated phases. I finally chose going urban and it was seriously cemented only in August 2014! I don't think it will take that long for my third album to be done. I'm done with all the phases, I know exactly what I want and I want the album to sound in a certain way and what I want is in the works right now. I'm pretty sure it will take just a few months to complete the album.
You now write all of your songs, yourself along with some help sometimes. But you barely wrote anything on your debut album, why?
Again during my debut I was still new in the business, I just really wasn't sure about anything. I actually did write a little bit more then I'm credited for my first album, But I was still scared of putting the album out, I was unsure about many things. Now I know what I want, how I want it and how to get it. It's jsut me growing in maturity.
You've distanced yourself easily from your model image, how?
Well When I do an album I really work on it as a musician, and I do the same with everything that concerns the album or surrounds the album. I think that helped the public seriously forget about my model image and I'm happy about that since I don't want them to remember me as the 'model who tried doing songs'.
Cara Delevingne then wore a beautiful green leotard with some golden glitter covering it and many cut out all around. Cara looked beautiful in the outfit and she first performed a medley of her two hit singles 'la Belle' and 'Honey'. After the songs ended, Cara quickly performed another song 'Fall Out' which is her current single, but she performed it in full unlike the first two songs. Cara Delevingne's album 'Distant Horizon' is now certified platinum and will soon reach the 2 million copies sold mark, and features all three hit singles 'La Belle', 'Honey' and 'Fall Out' along with the promotional singles 'Once' and 'Distant Horizon' both which received music videos earlier this week. The music video for 'Fall Out' will also soon be released.

Bjork performs on The Voice UK
Last night, the Icelandic musician Bjork performed her second single - Evangeline - on the UK version of the talent competition show The Voice which is a major television network franchise aiming to seek out varying talented people with great voices. Hence why it's called The Voice. It originated from The Netherlands. It has grown to became a staple in the showbiz industry and continues to create mega stars of music to this day in versions across the globe. In fact, one of Bjork's labelmates Christina Aguilera is a pioneer coach/judge on the American version of The Voice. She has gained particular notoriety for it and is typically commended for her efforts on the show as both a mentor and a musical powerhouse for at least 5 recurring seasons ever since its much anticipated debut in 2011. It's been said that Aguilera will indeed return to The Voice US in the springtime alsongside Bjork's first appearance on the extremely popular talent competition show as both Aguilera's sole mentor and advisor which is an extensive part of being a coach during the battle rounds, after the blind auditions where The Voice has gained most of its infamy for.
In Bjork's performance appearance on The Voice UK, she performed Evangeline which conveniently serves as the second single of off her newly release 2015 LP Ekklisis following on from the button nosed lead single Arête. With this record, Bjork aims to raise her profile in various promotional platforms and bring even further awareness to the album campaign which been rumoured to be Bjork's most ambitious project and venture yet. This comes right after Catalyst Fall Records signed the Icelandic musician (more than likely known for her unique and eclectic visionary style) for an extensive two year contract. She was previously signed under an independent label who couldn't allow Bjork to have the creative freedom to do whatever she wants to do in, not just her musical career, but also in everything else and whether she deems it to be necessary or not. In addition, that certain independent label couldn't afford to pay for Bjork's album as well which basically ended things right then and there.
She wore a translucent, fluorescent teal gown which made the blue highlights in her hair stand out. She looked immaculate drench in the typical natural makeup as her face was framed perfectly by a choppy shoulder length bob cut. With that being said, the murky and dark underlying tones in her eyeshadow could've really been considered too much for Bjork's standards although it is still very nice to see her in her usual element and continue to take many risks even after becoming an established and well respected act in the music industry. This was the first time ever in a long time that Bjork has visited the UK since her widely acclaimed worldwide tour back in 2011 which was in order to promote her record back then - Biophilia. It has also been alleged quite prominently these past few weeks especially that the Icelandic musician will indeed be having a worldwide tour incredibly soon in order to attract more attention for her 2015 LP release - Ekklisis. There have been no concrete confirmations as of yet although we assume profusely that Bjork will most likely tour the UK as one of her first destinations due to how excited she seemed to be over the weekend when she tweeted: "Glad to enrich and immerse myself in British culture. I love being here! #sheiscoming". Many claim that this is a indirect tweet, hinting at Bjork possibly touring in the UK. With that being said, even if it is not a slight hint as to what we might expect next from her, we still believe it is safe to say that Bjork will indeed hold a concert in the UK (specifically the capital city and economical hub of London) no matter what could happen in the near distant future.
Her performance of second single Evangeline on The Voice UK was met with a hugely positive response especially on various social media platforms, such a Twitter and Facebook. The performance wasn't anything particularly special or daring, however, it was not bad at all in terms of promoting the current era for what it is.
Get a copy of Ekklisis - in stores now!
Bjork's second single, Evangeline, is now available for PURCHASE.
Also, please check out Bjork's promotional singles - The Cynics and The Stoics.

Bjork signs EXCLUSIVE deal with Sephora
+ Evangeline used as jingle for commercial
Yesterday afternoon, it was announced by CEO officials from Sephora and through Bjork's official (which has recently gone under maintenance a few days ago) that Bjork will indeed become the new face of Sephora. This comes just after she had released her second single - Evangeline - which is actually the second single off of her 9th studio album. In fact, the Guy Sigworth produced track was used as the jingle for the Sephora commercial that Bjork herself appears in. This commercial was reportedly filmed a few months ago and is just the first of many to come later on down the line this year in 2015. The eclectic record is affectionately referred to as Ekklisis and is heavily inspired by Ancient Greek philosophy. This is especially noticeable in the singles the Icelandic musician released right before Evangeline was official released as the second single - Arête; the lead single, both The Cynics and The Stoics; the promotional singles all reference certain parts of Ancient Greece in particularly the schools of stoicism (of which the term Arête is derived from) and cynicism. It, Bjork's 9th studio album, was released in the early hours of yesterday morning just before it was also confirmed by Sephora and Bjork's management team/record label Catalyst Fall Records that she has signed onto a deal with the household cosmetics brand company founded in Paris, France by Dominique Mandonnaud back in 1970 while Calvin McDonald is now currently fronting Sephora with his role as the CEO who overlooks the entire corporation especially when it comes to campaigns such as the ones Bjork will more than likely participate and be heavily invested in once her Ekklisis era launches into "full throttle" mode by the time she embarks on her as of yet untitled worldwide tour later on this week so definitely be sure to watch out for that one! It's been reported nationwide that Bjork will supposedly have her most ambitious project yet with her latest 2015 LP release - Ekklisis. This urban inspired record aims to raise her profile across the globe and make people more aware to who Bjork is and what she's all about since she already maintains a core following, especially on the internet where Bjork is capable of interacting with many of her fans through various social media platforms (such as Twitter and Facebook).
In the mini commercial for Sephora, it sees Bjork teasing the next upcoming line of products by Sephora which will be released during this season and become their signature "look" for the rest of this year. She seems extremely relatable with her hair clipped back in a messy ponytail although what Bjork is actually wearing tells a different story. It's a great mesh of high class and the average consumer which is what Sephora has presented itself in being ever since it was a "thing". We can definitely foreshadow how well Bjork will fit in with Sephora and we believe it is a great bargain on both parts. Her second single - Evangeline - plays throughout and almost gives the commercial a distant feeling... in a good way! It showcases these brand new Sephora products as something so unreachable that will most likely lead someone watching the commercial to want to purchase those products in order to seem "elite" compared to everyone else. It's a great marketing technique and another great way Bjork seemingly seems to be capitalising on everything she contradicts this era. We are absolutely loving how Bjork has adapted to the mainstream. Rock on girl.
The social media stratosphere was ablaze upon the release of this commercial as it aired across the United States and in selected parts of Europe and Asia. In the truth of the matter, Sephora has been teasing the promotional campaign with Bjork since last week although nobody ever expected it to come so soon and on such a large scale as this. Billboards and fliers are due to be spread everywhere in the coming days while the Sephora commercial still makes its mark on the internet. Many are looking forward to know what Bjork has in store next. However, the well respected Icelandic musician has kept everything under wraps until further notice. There's no word yet as to whether Evangeline will continue as Sephora's main jingle or not.

Bjork releases Evangeline's lyric video
This early morning, Bjork officially released the lyric video for her second single - Evangeline - which is featured on her latest 2015 LP release. The album is called Ekklisis and is heavily based off on Ancient Greek philosophy. Having said that, it does concentrate a little more on thoughts and feelings than it does mythology and everything to do with Ancient Greece. Nevertheless, the entire record references back to that specific time period/era throughout quite noticeably. This inspiration is completely evident in her latest lyric video for the second single Evangeline where an introspective take on self hatred is depicted. The lyric video sees Bjork herself stripping down to a bare minimum, leaving just her nude body, with a bunch of scars and scratches totally vandalising her beautiful porcelain skin. With every note sung, blood seeps out of these wounds but are quickly clotted back when silence replaces the soothing shrieks that Bjork rings during the entire song. She then starts peeling off her skin... literally. Afterwards, another more translucent entity faces before her and is smiling the most hysterical smile ever known to man. The entity smiles so much that metal tear drops start rolling down its cheek as Bjork cups her hands to catch them and then later on proceeds to consume the metal tear drops which have known turned to liquid once made contact with Bjork's scar ridden hands. She suddenly collapses onto the ground but conscientiously. Her fingernails start growing at a rapid rate as the entity looks down at her forlornly. Bjork then attempts to insert herself inside the entity as she struggles with this newfound sense of awareness. She succeeds. The entity somehow vanishes as Bjork launches off of a cliff into a sea of iron metal. Her entire body is encrusted with the metallic substance which gives her skin a sort of scale like effect. It's visually pleasing as well as thought provoking. Bjork then runs up to the water's surface and jumps into the atmosphere like a bullet, dragging the water with her which leaves the cliff bone dry. She spirals out of control as she is immortalised in the darkness of the skies. The camera pans out to show a mural made to look like metal as rain starts dripping onto the artwork on a seemingly sunny day. It is then shown to be a mural of Bjork and nothingness that the entity from the beginning of the lyric video represented. The mural depicts Bjork in an embrace with herself, looking defeated yet somewhat relieved as well.
In light of that, the lyrical element of what is supposed to be a lyric video comes in when Bjork starts shedding pieces of her skin as the lyrics start to appear on the bits of dead skin that eventually turn into burnt ash without any signs of flames or some way in which to turn human flesh into waste material. Ever since it's release a few hours ago the lyric video has already garnered a lot of interest on various social media platforms, especially Tumblr where Bjork has a particularly large following on there as she's hail as some sort of visionary. The lyric video for Evangeline is expected to be nominated at many award shows honouring those with specific contributions towards art and pop culture. While groundbreaking, Evangeline's lyric video also seems to have appealed to the younger generation which is always a good thing when taking into consideration who deserves the award the most. There's no word as of yet when the actual official music video for Evangeline - her second single - will be released although it's been said that filming and editing has already wrapped up. Many predict it will premiere this very week which seems the most likely of outcomes as of now. Streaming is potentially going to be an integral part of whether Bjork is successful or not this era with her 9th studio album - Ekklisis. It is absolutely essential that Bjork somehow manages to take advantage of this significant part of nowadays' music industry and make herself known amidst all the new up and coming musician who she doesn't stand a change against as an established act herself with youth being on their side as well.

*Shake it off plays as Mariah Enters the room*
Ellen : Hey Mariah! How are you doing today? On the way to work today I heard your new hit with Iggy Azalea "Better without U" it is such a great song, I'm loving it!
Mariah : Thanks Ellen, I and my producers wanted to provide the fans and the rest of my listeners a real good hot track that will get everyone pumped for my new album coming soon. I can't give too much details but it will be great. And I loved working with Iggy, her energy is just so big it makes me put a smile on my face during this really low point in my life.
Ellen : That's great, it really is great. Iggy is so big right now, and it was interesting to see fresh meat work with a pop legend like yourself Mariah. I remember being a young woman and always looking about to you and your music. It supported me when I needed it the most. I know you have inspired lots of young women with your great music in the past, and currently. So anyways, about your new music, can you give us any hints?
Mariah : Well Ellen, like I said before, I Can't give TOO much away. But what I can see this is my best work since 05' and I'm really loving it. I'm Working with R.Kelly, Timbaland, Missy Elliot, and some other great producers. Also their are other collaborators besides mrs. Iggy Iggs.
Ellen : That is awesome Mariah, I can't wait to hear more of your new music. So now to the part where I know you arn't excited to talk about, but to be honest, we really do need to talk about it Mariah. As always the people are talking about your love life, and how it is in a dark place as of right now. I know eventually it will get better for you, but I just wanted to ask a couple thing about you and Nick Cannon. How are your kids doing about the break about right now? Do they understand what is going on, or clueless to the situation?
Mariah : Well the kids are my most important thing in life right now. Without my kids I am nothing. I know everyone thinks that I have my music and fans, but without the kids I don't know what I would be doing right now. I just love them so much, you know? Anyways, to your question, they know a little bit. They ask questions like "Why is mommy and daddy fighting?" and wonder as of why we are always apart from Nick. I will tell them more as they grow older, but for right now that is all they know. And please darling, can we quit talking about that trash cheater Nick? He is a demon in my life and now gone, I don't like to dark about bad things
Ellen : Ok Mariah, I get you. Well America and viewers at home, this is the end of the show. Thank you so much for watching, you can buy Mariah Carey's new song featuring Iggy Azalea "Better without U" on itunes right now! And more Mariah music with her new Album coming in the Future!

'CARA' Spring/Summer 2015 Couture Show+Commercials
702 Words
Cara Delevingne launched back in 2013 her own brand which features clothes and pieces designed by her, the brand so far has made millions and Cara has easily went right up to the top of the fashion world after conquering the modeling and music world. During the Spring/Summer Couture Fashion week happening in Paris right now, she presented the latest Haute Couture collection at her show, which happened at the Versailles Palace. The show was broadcasted live on FashionTV and on the CARA official website. Hundreds of thousands of people apparently watched the show due to Cara being such a big star, her fans having all tuned in for the show. STatistics also show that Cara's stores have also been selling over 40% more following the fashion show.
Cara Delevingne even performed at the fashion show, making it only the second time she actually performs at one of the fashion shows of the brand after the opening show at which she performed tracks off her debut album 'CARA'. This time around however, Cara only performed songs from her latest album 'Distant Horizon' which has already shown impressive numbers in most countries around the world including in the US where it reached the #2 spot and was certified platinum, in France where all the singles from the album reached #1 and are well over 2 times platinum, in the UK where the album has been in the top 5 on the charts ever since it's release and more countries such as Brazil, Germany, Australia and Japan.
This show's collection feature beautiful complicated cuts for all the dresses, all of which were structured amazingly in the top part but were graceful and elegant in the skirt part of the dress. The main colors of this collection were the light, creamy colors along with a lot of white. Cara's collection was compared to some collections of Ellie Saab, one of the designers who did inspire the collection, as Cara commented about it on twitter following the event.
Cara wore a leotard which was based on some of the outfits from the collection, and had attached to it a beautiful cape, giving Cara an elegant yet sexy look. She came out first on stage, walking slowly to the slow sultry beat of 'Honey'. Cara's performance was kept simple to go along the collection as she preferred keeping the attention on the music and the clothes and not a full out choreography. She then sang the promotional single 'Once' which had some beautiful disco infused beats mixed with it's urban vibe. 'Too Much is Not Enough' and 'Kiss To My Heart' quickly followed before the next promotional single 'Distant Horizon'. The show ended with performances of the singles 'La Belle' and 'Fall Out'.
Cara Delevingne also appeared in a commercial for the collection which was aired right after the fashion show happened. The commercial featured Cara's single 'Fall Out'. Cara is shown wearing multiple beautiful different outfits from the collection. The commercial has already aired on TV channels around the world including in France, UK, Italy, US, UAE, Japan, Australia, Canada and Spain. The commercial start off by showing Cara walking through the luxurious gardens at the Versailles palace, while she's wearing an outfit from the collection. The whole commercial shows Cara somewhere in the gardens wearing a different outfit every time. The commercial ends by showing Cara on the Versailles palace balcony and looking out to the gardens, while 'CARA" appears on the screen before showing: "'Fall Out (Feat. Jay-Z)' Now available and featured on the album 'Distant Horizon'"
Twitter wne tinto a frenzy after the commercial was posted online on Cara's official youtube account as the hashtags and words 'CARA', '#CARATheCOllection', and 'CARAxVERSAILLES' trended. This helped getitng attention towards Cara, her brand and the collection but also Cara's music.
Cara Delevingne's single 'Fall Out' is now available and is also featured on the platinum certified album 'Distant Horizon' which features the two other Top 3 smash hit singles 'La Belle' and 'Honey'. The album will also soon be released, on February 8th as confirmed by Cara as the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack. Insiders say more information concerning the re-release will be revealed next week.

BRIT Awards+'Fall Out' Music Video
712 Words
Cara Delevingne flew from France to the UK in the past few hours to appear on the British Music Awards, the BRITS. During the show, she posed on the red carpet, received awards, talked to the media, performed her singles 'La Belle', 'Honey' and 'Fall Out' and even premiered her brand new music video for her single 'Fall Out' ,which features Jay-Z, during the show. Cara was obviously the event's most talked about person due to having this big night.
Arriving fashionably late to the event right at the peak of the red carpet appearances, Cara still stood out between all the artists at the event. She looked beautiful wearing a beautiful white Giambattista Valli white long from the back short at the front dress with black high heels, Cara also wore a large golden crown. She looked stunning walking into the events room and sitting down to watch the show. During the event she won multiple awards such as Best Female Artist, Best Single for 'Fall Out' and Best Album for 'Distant Horizon', which after getting a BEYONCE sized acclaim has been gaining awards basically at every show around the world. She also presented the Best Male Artist Award.
In the middle of the ceremony Cara got up on stage and presented what would happen next:
"Ladies & Gentlemen, I got the authorization to premiere the music video of my brand new single 'Fall Out (Feat. Jay-Z)' right here, right now live on TV from the BRITs. I would like to thank everyone who worked with me on the album 'Distant Horizon' but let's not waste any more time and let's watch the music video."
The music video started off by showing Cara wearing a black dress walking right away from a large villa. The villa looked beautiful and was obviously luxurious and it was perched in the middle of a mountain. The mountain was grey and had an impressive height. Cara looked at the horizon. Clips of Cara and a boyfriend kissing and being playful around each other inside the house are shown. The music starts playing and Cara wearing a black bikini with a high waisted studded bottom part with large black ankle boots and fishnets. Next to her stands Jay-Z and some dancers are standing around the area Car and Jay-Z are at. They all look fiercely into the camera, and the dancers start dancing. The whole crowd composed of Cara and all the people start walking down the mountain. It starts to snow just a little bit, but the place mostly was full of fog. Cara sings while light shines through the fog and we can barely see Cara but we can easily recognize her silhouette. The video focuses a lot on all the light effects. At some point Cara and Jay-Z start dancing on top of a large luxurious SUV parked on the mountain. The dancers do a choreography around the car while Cara just does a few moves looking into the camera. AT the end of the music video, clips of Cara burning down the house is shown. She basically drops some fuel all of the house and reaches her boyfriend's bedroom, who is still sleeping. She looks at him sadly before throwing some gasoline on him as well which wakes hip up, and Cara leaves immediately. She walks around the house and out of it and drops a luxurious lighter with 'CARA' written on it on the gasoline. The fire starts spreading around the house, and soon the whole thing burns down. At the end of the video Cara stands in front the house with Jay-Z while the house burns down behind her.
At the end of the BRITs Cara closed the ceremony with a performance of a medley. She performed her three singles 'La Belle', 'Honey' and 'Fall Out'. All three singles later reached the top 3 on ITunes UK which is an impressive achievement as the top 3 was fully composed of Cara. 'La Belle' and 'Honey' later dropped to #9 and #7 but 'Fall Out' remained strong at #1 especially after the music video. Cara Delevingne's album 'Distant Horizon' was also at #1 on the UK ITunes after the award show and was at #1 on the US ITunes as well.

Capital FM
729 Words
After a huge night at the BRITs Cara went straight to Capital FM which had invited her for a special interview following the award show and a performance of a few of her songs in the live lounge.
Cara performed the tracks 'Distant Horizon', 'Once', 'Honey', 'La Belle', 'Kiss To My Heart' and her latest single 'Fall Out (Feat. Jay-Z)'. 'Distant Horizon' and 'Once' both are promotional singles being used this week on various appearances and more just to get them to sell a little bit more and help the album while Cara's singles 'Honey' and 'La Belle' are already well established gigantic hit singles, both of them already reached platinum status and both of them are within the Top 5 of the highest selling singles, making Cara the only artist to do so. Cara's latest single 'Fall Out' is the main song promoted on the show as it is it's first week as an official single. Cara is also promoting the soon to be multi-platinum album 'Distant Horizon' which has been selling insanely ever since it's release on January 3rd 2014.
Congratulations on winning so many awards tonight at the BRT Awards Cara! How do you feel?
Thank you so much, I feel so honored to win so many awards. It feels good to be back in the UK for just a little bit of time after being so many weeks away and I'm getting awards so everything feels perfect.
You also premiered the music video of your single 'Fall Out' live during the show which is great for it. What are your thoughts about the music video?
Well I think it's my favorite music video, like the best one I did so far. I think the music videos of 'Magazine' and 'La Belle' were just a little bit messy, 'Explicit' was slightly forgettable, 'Honey' and 'Love My Devilish Body' were good but not as good as 'Fall Out'. The song is about one big fight, and well I burn down a villa in the video I think it fits it well.
What was the best thing about working with Jay-Z for it?
Well It really was so much fun working with such a legend. I feel honored to have worked with him. The best thing though was how hard working he was. You know some people will just do a quick collaboration and leave but he was fully focusing on it when we were creating the song. He also rehearses everything he does so much before getting up on stage.
Will you be collaborating as in an actual collaboration between you and an another artist for your next album?
Not really no. I'm not that much into collaborations you know? I keep those for remixes and such things. When I work with other people it's mostly for production or for lyrics. When it's an actual vocal collaboration it's mostly for remixes.
What can we expect to hear on your next album?
Well it's gonna be very up-beat, very dance-like, but in a poetic manner. I already am in love with my next album even before finishing it. I think it might be the best album I have done so far and I can't wait for it to be done and out.
So we already know you're working with people like Stromae, CHVRCHES and even Kate Boy for your next album, who else are you working with?
Well let me start off that I'm not longer working with Kate Boy as I didn't really like what we ended up doing so they aren't on the album. I met Kerli though, she's a great singer and I love her music. She helped me write a few songs and her own producer SeventyEighty also helped us with it. So you have them. Oh and Purity Ring. But that's it really, I'm trying to keep the album very restricted, very CARA and not being too all over the place like my debut was for example. I want my next album to be consistent.
You've recently revealed the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack that you are doing, what's happening to that? it seems like you stopped talking about it lately.
Well it's just cause we're getting closer and closer to the release date and I'm making a BIG announcement really soon, so my fans need to wait just a few more days!

I should finish up my promo for this week and write all of my articles now in the next 48 hours, but I'm so tired after this week, but I will probably end up taking a break this week. 
Anyways... Look out for exciting things next week though.
