Dua Lipa - Dua Lipa

[Juan Carlos]

She still has three songs inside the Top 15 in the UK and "Be the One" has reached a new peak of #9 this week, becoming her highest chart position to date there.

From Music Week/BuzzJack Music Forum:

Dua Lipa's "Be The One" secures both its own and her highest chart position, rising 10-9 despite sales falling slightly to 28,963. She fails in her attempt to rack up three Top 10 hits in as many weeks, however, with Martin Garrix collaboration "Scared To Be Lonely" remaining at No.14, although its sales increase 12.40% week-on-week to 24,202.

I LOVE how hard she's smashing over there. Hopefully the U.S. pays her the same respect.

Dua is giving a (hopefully!) last final push in the recording of her self-titled debut album.

A limited vinyl edition entitled The Only EP will be released on April 14, which is exclusively sold through Urban Outfitters.

And it's sold out! :o

[nightshade]

I bought tickets to see her in Dallas this Sunday. Can't wait. :)

[Glove Slap]

Her show in New York was really good. Be The One was the definite highlight for the audience. Running was my personal favorite from the tracks without studio versions out there, I hope it makes it onto the album.

[Juan Carlos]

AHHH!!! If it's not coming out on June 2, I will cut a bitch.

The fact that she now has two top 10 hits on the UK chart bodes well for the album finally being released. Hopefully the US doesn't pay dust to Be The One.

[Juan Carlos]

Dukagjin Lipa, who is Dua's dad, confirmed that "Genesis" will be on the album and it may be the (album) opener.

William Bowerman is a musical director and the drummer on Dua Lipa's tour. He tweeted the following some days ago and looks like that a new song (most likely her new [and overseas] single) will be added there.

Also, when someone asked her why she hasn't released/uploaded the full version of the acoustic version of "Genesis" which was featured on her documentary See in Blue by The Fader yet, she replied that something else is coming out this Friday. I'm not sure if it's related to the aforementioned new track or to "Scared to Be Lonely" which she teased something a month ago.

[Juan Carlos]

The surprise (maybe, a new track from her?) is coming out next week.

[Juan Carlos]

Dua was sending/replying messages through DM on Twitter yesterday and she mentioned a couple of things. (1 / 2 / 3)

• There's not coming a new track from her on Friday. However, if it's considered that Noise11 was listing that an acoustic version of "Scared to Be Lonely" to be released yesterday on their release schedule and it didn't happen, it's safe to say that this is the surprise she was talking about.
• She isn't going to perform new songs from her album on her European leg, but the set will be longer, including new production.
• She's going to be featured on a Wale's track, which will be included on his upcoming album.
• She might reveal who are the collaborators on her London show, which is on April 13.

As a side note, she and one of her friends mentioned on her Instagram story a couple of days ago that a banger from her is coming out in April during her trip in Spain, so I assume her new single will be out later this month. Also, I'm aware that her self-titled debut album isn't available for pre-order on iTunes in the States, but the following information appeared in the pre-order overseas, with the exception of the German speaking countries, where she's under Vertigo/Capitol instead of Warner.

℗ 2017 Dua Lipa Limited under exclusive license to Warner Music UK Limited. Tracks 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 ℗ 2016 Warner Music UK Limited. Tracks 4, 13, 15, 17 ℗ 2015 Warner Music UK Limited.

If it's taken into consideration the information above, I guess that the order of the tracks could be changed from the deluxe edition of the album, although I'm not too sure if this could happen without taking out the pre-order from iTunes. I personally find strange that "Last Dance" and "Room for 2" aren't considered as 2016 releases, while "New Love" is listed as one, when it came out in 2015, for example. Also, it could imply that some of the songs she has been performing on tour ("Want To", "Bad Together", "Running" and "Genesis") were registered some time ago and they made the cut, although it's said that "Genesis" is the album opener and track #1 isn't listed above. Oh! And the standard version was pulled out too.

On the other side, track #5 is listed as explicit, which it wasn't a while ago, so I think that this is the song which is coming out next.

I'm surprised the collabs haven't leaked yet lol

I hope you're referring that there's still not information who the collaborators are instead of that these tracks (assuming that it's not only one?) are out there.

It's more than one.

But no, nothing is leaking or even close to it. The information is out there though.

Thank you for clarifying this. I think that she was mentioning them in plural instead of singular a couple of times, but I had some doubts about that.

Wait! Really?!?

As far as I know, MNEK and Andrew Wyatt should be the collaborators because they spent some time with Dua separately in the studio around February, but I scratched the latter because of "New Love" and I assume it should be someone who she didn't work before like the former. That said, there's a rumour that she was with Calvin Harris during her tour in the US, but I think this is too good to be true though. Obviously, if any of them aren't, I don't have any clue who they are.

To my knowledge Calvin Harris isn't one of the collaborations on the album. If he is, it's uncredited. 

And by "the information is out there", I mean it has leaked but it hasn't gone public where anyone can just look it up. Sorry, that wasn't clear.

[Linnethia Monique]

She is featured on Wale's new album Shine on a song called My Love with Major Lazer and Wizkid.

I was going to tell you that it's very unlikely that he appears as a featured artist, but I guess you're referring as a writer instead. If that's the case and his birth name isn't there, I doubt that both of them collaborated in a song.

Nah! Don't worry. I get what you mean. :)

[Juan Carlos]

She's going to be next week in the US for a special performance at Space 15 Twenty and she will be taping an outdoor mini-concert the next day for Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

Mess. My favorite from the non-singles from her show. Would have preferred Genesis to be removed instead.

IDGAF better make up for it. Sounds like my kind of subject matter (aside from [INSERT CURRENT KATY PERRY SINGLE/MATERIAL HERE] of course).

I haven't listened to some of her non-released songs, so I can't give a proper opinion regarding "Running" yet, but the preview of the acoustic version of "Genesis" she did for The FADER in the See In Blue documentary sold me and it's the one I'm looking forward to honestly.

Looks like "IDGAF" is one of the latest songs she recorded and, apparently, "Want To" was replaced because of this, so I'm wondering if this is the MNEK track or not.

[Juan Carlos]

Marc Kinchen (aka MK) has remixed "Lost In Your Light". You could listen to Miguel's part here.

Want To is so fucking good and should've been on the album instead of New Love.
Does anyone know if New Love got a new mix?
