Dua Lipa – Future Nostalgia

[Juan Carlos]

Dua was interviewed by Variety, where she mentioned that her sophomore album is conceptual and she already has the album title.

From Variety:

She reveals that the new album is conceptual, but she's cagey about specifics. "I want a bit more depth," she says, "but if I told you how, I'd have to tell you the album title." That's a secret she wants to keep under wraps, she explains. At least "for a little bit, until I put it out into the world. Then it belongs to everyone."

She has been hanging out with Tove Lo and Romy Madley Croft, as well as Noomi Rapace, Ella Jenkin, Frances Phillips and Ilirjana Alushaj.

Genesis is still such a jam. I need to pick up that deluxe edition of her album for my collection.

[Juan Carlos]

It has been revealed that "New Rules" was the #1 most played song on Top 40/M radio for 2018, so she received a plaque for that. It's on the second slide.

Dua is the most streamed female artist in the UK and second globally behind Ariana Grande on Spotify.

From Music Week:

UK artist Dua Lipa broke out as global star in 2018, and she also features strongly on Spotify's rankings. She's the second most streamed female artist of the year globally and the most streamed female artist in the UK.

Her Calvin Harris collaboration "One Kiss" - which was big on Deezer's 2018 chart - was the UK's second most streamed track behind "God's Plan". Dua Lipa's self-titled, platinum debut was the third most streamed album of the year in the UK and fourth globally.

Nominated for Best New Artist and Best Dance Recording with "Electricity", her collaboration with Silk City, at the GRAMMYs.

I hope Electricity wins. Considering most BNA acts struggle after winning that... not sure if I want her to take it.

Love for Dua to win both her nominations but I'd rather someone else take BNA considering... yeah. Let's go Electricity!

[wavey.]

UGH

[SHOOTER]

She better pull a Daya and take that Grammy home!

[Juan Carlos]

Regarding the last surprise Dua mentioned last October, she confirmed that she shot something in LA for two days and it will be unveiled around January. Also, it's not related to her sophomore album.

[Juan Carlos]

2 billion streams on Spotify! <3 Also, Dua recorded a message too.

[Juan Carlos]

And it seems that the surprise she was teasing since October was that she recorded the soundtrack for the Alita: Battle Angel film called "Swan Song".

May 24, 2018 17:19:38 GMT -5 Juan Carlos said:

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

She confirmed that she parted ways with /Nyden and she will announce something special in the new year.

[Juan Carlos]

There's a rumour that Dua is going to collaborate with Spanish singer and songwriter Rosalía after this information appeared on Folha de S.Paulo, which is a Brazilian newspaper.

From Folha de S.Paulo: (translated from Portuguese)

Doors are also opening up among artistic colleagues. The singer has made recent partnerships with J Balvin and Dua Lipa and in 2019 will release music with Pharrell Williams and appear in the next film of Pedro Almodóvar, Dolor y Gloria, with Penélope Cruz and Antonio Banderas.

I wonder how her sessions in Jamaica turned out. I wouldn't mind hearing some Dancehall tracks from her. I think she could really pull it off.
