Dua Lipa – Future Nostalgia

[GP]

THIS IS HUGE!

[Juan Carlos]

Dua has teamed up with /Nyden on capsule collections, which is due out in November.

She spoke exclusively to Vogue and you could read the article here. Regarding this, she said the following:

"My first love is music, but fashion also plays an important role in my life because I believe it's so vital to self-expression. I look for clothes that reflect strength and fearlessness, but also match up to today's fast pace. So I'm excited to be co-creating with /Nyden on my designs – it's going to be a collection that's completely suited to me, both onstage and off, and for my fans."

[Juan Carlos]

Dua was interviewed by NME prior her UEFA Champions League Final opening act, where she teased more surprises all this year, including her Silk City collaboration. Her sophomore album, which is inspired by Outkast and Prince, is slated to be released next year.

Regarding the album, she said the following:

"I started writing it at the beginning of the year. I guess when I'm touring it's quite tricky to find time to write but I'll be writing a lot again during the middle and end of this year. I've got some surprises coming this year but I'll try and put out my own new music next year."

And this is what she said about the direction of the album:

"Again, it's pop but it has some diverse sounds. I'm trying not to stray too far away from my sound which I have described as "dance crying" for a while. You can dance to a lot of the songs but if you listen to the lyrics they come from quite a place of heartbreak. It has throwback elements, too. I've been listening to a lot of Outkast and Prince and things sonically I'm such a fan off so I'm just trying to take that and put it together with pop."

Not a fan of the album not coming until next year, I hope she has one more collaboration in between then at least (in addition to the Silk City track).

[Juan Carlos]

She confirmed to Fantástico, a Brazilian TV sports show, that "One Kiss" will be included on the album. Also, she's planning to come back to Brazil next year, so I hope she could do shows in more Latin American countries, including Peru, of course. *crossing fingers*

Has Dua Lipa recorded the new James Bond theme? Years & Years may have accidentally revealed the news.


ames Bond fans still have over a year to wait until the next instalment is released, but it looks like the artist behind its theme song has already been lined up.

In an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, Years & Years member Mikey Goldsworthy said he hoped the band would be asked to record the next Bond theme but Dua Lipa had already bagged the role.

He said: "I thought they'd ask us to do the theme song but alas I think it's Dua Lipa doing it."

After the presenter said Mikey had just exclusively revealed the news, he replied: "Am I not supposed to say that? That's what I've heard. I feel bad now, maybe I've ruined everything. Well hopefully, then we can do it!"

The last Bond theme, Sam Smith's Writing's On The Wall for the Spectre film, was the first ever Bond song to reach Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart. See where every James Bond theme has charted in the UK here.

Meanwhile, details around Dua Lipa's upcoming single Electricity with Mark Ronson and Diplo have been revealed. The song is expected to be released this summer.

That would be an easy multi-week #1 hit on the UK so hopefully it's true! (And it's more "Skyfall" than "Writing's on the Zzzzz...")

[Deleted]

She's really everywhere right now, happy for her!

Oh, Mikey.   

I'd be happy with either of them doing it, but I think Dua has the better voice for it.

If they play their cards right and to her strengths sonically, she could truly have a huge second album era that we haven’t seen potentially since TDb

[Juan Carlos]

Dua was interviewed by Rolling Stone, where she mentioned that the music video of "Electricity" was shot last week and revealed details of her sophomore album too.

Regarding the song, she said the following:

"We did a song together that I'm again really excited about. It's something different, but it does lead into some of new music that I'm going to bring in my albums. It's got some throwback elements to it; it's dancey; it's still a pop song. I just shot the video — I shot it the day before yesterday but I finished at 7am. yesterday morning. We shot all through the night. It wasn't at the Louvre, unfortunately — it was in New Jersey."

[Janhova's Witness]

Just when we thought pop was dead... all signs point to this girl's next era being the biggest since The Fame Monster. Quote me in a year.

Yeah, they should have gone all in with the New Rules live version. No way IDGAF gets much love.

it better be a bop i swear

Maybe it's just one last video. "Kiss and Make Up"?

[Juan Carlos]

I agree that it should be a visual (music or live video?) because she wrote 'saw' instead of 'listened to'. If it was the latter, it would have been a new song. However, I don't see the point of that if it's considered that she also said 'the last treat', which may imply it's something from the Complete Edition of her self-titled album.

[Ty]

My guess is a video of 'Want To'. It's the first new song released from the repackaging. Doing one for KAMU, I imagine, involves more work, and I think they're perfectly fine with that song doing its thing completely on its own (well, with the support of Spotify).

[Juan Carlos]

Dua teased on Instagram stories that she has been in the studio with Tove Lo in Sweden.

[Normi]

Omg I need this

[Juan Carlos]

Two-day writing session. I hope they made more than a song together and they make the cut as well.

Ooooh my god yes.

[Juan Carlos]

She won the International Music Award at the BAMBIs.

Mark Ronson is going to work with her on her sophomore album.

Regarding "Electricity", he said the following:

"We had a lot of the song back in November and I asked her if she wanted to sing it and she really dug it. She came and helped finish writing it in March. From November to March, I'd say her shit went up by like 300%, and by the time we recorded it, she was a superstar in America.

Romy from The xx had written a lot of lyrics and Dua came and put her spin on it. And then in the bridge, she really brought it to life and put all these harmonies on it. It was really good timing but at the end of the day, I didn't ask her because she's blowing up, I asked her because she has an incredible voice and I just love the way she fucking sounds. Her vibe is so cool."

[Juan Carlos]

She and her family were invited to the Vatican City. Also, she performed "Homesick" in the Teatro Argentina.
