Second draft of double page spread story

Cara Young

Stand first: 
She has taken over the internet world and is now slowly taking over the real world, but what makes this heavenly-voiced angel so damn good? 

Article:
At the enormously dark studio in Ealing, West London we caught up Cara Young having a photo shoot for her upcoming album. The 19 year old internet sensation  was rocking her dark make-up and a tartan dress whilst breaking the silence with a nicotine fulled cough. "I'm going to need a break now" puffed Cara whilst walking towards us. "These boots are absolutely killing me," she sighs as she sits down ready for her first exclusive interview. Cara Young, only had her YouTube account up for 6 months has already earned herself over 5 million views on all of her videos. "I still don't believe it" she replied "I honestly thought I'd only get about 50 views from my friends and family." Cara's main inspiration to start a singing career was her favourite artist, Lana Del Rey. "I think she [Lana] is an amazing artist. Truly remarkable. It would be an absolute honor to work with her if I ever got the chance." Cara has covered many of her songs on YouTube such as National Anthem and Young and Beautiful. "Her songs gives me inspiration" explains Cara. Cara has also covered many songs by other artists of the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Jake Bugg and The Vaccines. "They are also my favourite band" Cara expresses her thoughts on the Arctic Monkeys. "One day I will be as popular as they are" giggles Cara, but putting the jokes aside, with an angelic voice and a fast growing fan base like hers anything is possible. "My first album is going to be very exciting. I cannot wait for all my fans to hear it, and for others to hear it too and hopefully enjoy my music." Cara inserts her cigarette between her lips. "I've played a few little gigs here and there covering some songs, also singing some songs that I have written myself that unfortunately haven't made it onto my first album." puffs Cara, "but there's always room for the next one!" Ever since Cara has become popular, many people have been asking quite personal questions. "I understand that fans would want to know everything about a certain artist/band when they are new to the scene," explains Cara, "but sometimes it gets too personal. But I can say that I am currently single though, and I do not plan to get a boyfriend anytime soon. I have to focus on my career." Cara Young respectable approach to relationships will be a great influence for her youthful fans. We moved to a little boxed room to carry on our interview after Cara finished off her photo shoot. The white walls were much more calming and intimate than the massive studio full of darkness. "I'm very excited to start my own mini-tour when my album is complete" announced Cara with excitement. "I'll be doing Glastonbury this year as well, on the other stage. I'm also very thrilled about that." Cara has dreamt of being at Glastonbury since the age of 14. "I've always wanted to go and see the acts play and be a part of the audience" chuckled Cara, "but now I'm actually playing at Glastonbury! Madness!" Cara has achieved her success very quickly, considering she hasn't even published her own debut album. "My album will be out in March, hopefully." giggles Cara while sipping her cup full of sprite. "I always get tempted to sing my songs aloud when I am out and about, but I have to stop myself, obviously I'd be one of the only artists that could potentially leak their own album." Snickers Cara, she laughs a little too much and ends up having a laughing fit. Casual. Cara has announced that she will be supporting one of her favourite artists on their tour: Jake Bugg! "He's a great guy" Cara says, "I really enjoy his company. We have the same sense of humour and music taste, obviously." Cara and Jake have been speaking since he has heard her cover of 'Seen It All.' "When he followed me on Twitter I literally screamed" giggles Cara, feeling a little ashamed. "After that we just started talking and really clicked." A lot of people have said that they would be a very cute couple. "People on the internet have been 'shipping' (where you want two certain people to be together in a relationship) but we're just friends." Explained Cara. Shame that those two aren't really together, they would have been the equivalent to Beyonce and Jay-Z, just, an Indie Rock version of them.
