"I'm desperate to start a career in music"
About this Quote
Coming from a model whose public persona has long been shaped by tabloids, reality TV, and relentless scrutiny, the line also functions as a bid for authorship. Music is a medium associated with authenticity, confession, and control of one’s voice - literally and culturally. For someone known primarily through images and headlines, pivoting to music is a claim to a different kind of legitimacy: not just being looked at, but being listened to.
The quote is also shrewdly calibrated for the attention marketplace. “Start a career” frames this as serious, not a novelty single; it asks to be evaluated as a worker, not a spectacle. Yet the subtext acknowledges how hard it is to outrun your own brand. Price’s desperation isn’t only to sing; it’s to reset the terms on which the public consumes her - from object of commentary to maker of product, from tabloid character to performer with a microphone and, ideally, the final word.
