Supermodel Heidi Klum releases debut single with her idol rapper Snoop Dogg. It will be a dance composition called Chai Tea With Heidi. Heidi Klui is not the first successful model to try herself as a singer. But not all of her predecessors managed to succeed in the world of music. The production team Weddingcake worked on the creation of the Heidi Klum and Snoop Dogg track. The song in the dance genre, which will be released this Friday, January 14, is expected to top the major top charts, it will also be featured on the German Top Model program, where Klum is hosting.
As an additional promo for the release, the famous photographer Rankin shot a music video for the rapper and model, or rather, now the singer. In the video, Heidi Klum appeared in her usual frank image - a corset dress with voluminous sleeves, from under which underwear shone through. Fishnet tights and high-heeled over the knee boots added even more audacity. The brightest part of the image of Snoop Dogg was the orange collar on the coat, and, of course, the massive gold chain.
"I love to go beyond my comfort zone and challenge myself, so this was what I definitely wanted," - quotes the words of the model about the arrival in the world of pop music The Sun.
According to the aspiring singer, Snoop Dogg has always been her idol, and she dreamed of recording a song with him that would cheer people up. “I knew there was only one person I wanted to duet with. I am a big fan of Snoop Dogg, so I decided to go all-in or not take this case at all, says Klum. “I pitched my idea to him, and to my surprise and delight, he invited me to come to his music studio.”
The 48-year-old top model is far from the first who, after completing her professional career, decided to try herself in a new field. Back in 1994, Naomi Campbell released her debut studio album, Babywoman. It was the first and last attempt of the British model to realize herself in music. The R&B-styled album could only climb to #75 in the UK music chart, although it was produced by top writers and released by major American record label Epic Records. In general, about a million copies have been sold worldwide.
A more successful professional singing career developed with Carla Bruni. After she left the main catwalks of the world at the end of the last century, the supermodel of the 90s took up music and began performing as a singer. She released her debut album of her own composition in Italian and French in 2002, the third release entitled “As if nothing had happened” was presented by Bruni already being the first lady of France, the wife of Nicolas Sarkozy. The release attracted a lot of attention from the public, who bought copies in the millions. The model named her seventh album of 13 tracks by her own name and presented it in July 2020.
As Carla Bruni said in an interview with The American Songwriter, she was inspired to write songs by a feeling of anxiety that she experienced long before the start of the pandemic. “I almost had an accident a year ago. Every time you get close to death, you start to feel more alive, ”she explained the choice in favor of encouraging songs.
Top models of the 2010s, Cara Delevingne, managed to become a world-famous actress and even a singer, while acting in advertising campaigns and participating in fashion brand shows. One of the fans of the British model can be called Luc Besson, who included her song I Feel Everything in the soundtrack collection for the film Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017), in which Delevingne played one of the main roles.
By the way, at the Chanel Salzburg 2014/15 Métiers d'Art show in Paris, the model performed the song with Pharrell Williams, and a year earlier she recorded the song Sun Don't Shine in a duet with singer Will Hurd. “She has an extraordinary voice, and if she wants, a successful career awaits her,” the performer later spoke about the talents of the model.
However, now Delevingne's tracks have ceased to be very popular. According to the Spotify service, the number of unique listeners on the model's page is slightly more than 34 thousand per month.
Singing models are especially fond of being invited to appear in commercials for advertising companies, so that they demonstrate not only clothes, but also perform well-known compositions.
For example, Natasha Poly performed in this format for the shooting of the Frame Denim clothing brand, Coco Rocha performed the song I Wanna in the promotional video for the Roberto Cavalli brand, Gisele Bündchen covered the song All Day and All of the Night by the 60s British band The Kinks especially for the H&M video, and for advertising Chanel fragrances, she sang and played the guitar. Unlike others, Bündchen didn't stop with music at this point. She repeatedly posted videos on Instagram with the performance of various compositions with a guitar in an amateur format.
