Charming and incredibly gifted Dua Lipa has burst into the hearts of millions of music lovers. Having overcome a very difficult path on the path of establishing her career, the singer has become a favorite of the world public. She captivates with her striking appearance, stunning voice, and unrivaled charm. The most authoritative publications in the world write about her, her photos do not leave the covers of the most popular magazines, and the future of the British pop queen is predicted for her.
New Rules
Perhaps the coolest track of the artist. The video for the song was presented on YouTube in July 2017, and in a relatively short time, the video was viewed by over a billion users. By the way, Dua turned out to be the youngest performer with so many views – at the time of the video premiere, she was only 21 years old.
New Rules topped the UK charts, and Lipa became the first girl in the past two years – since the hit Hello from Adele (2015) – whose single became the main leader of the most popular UK charts.
The cherry on top was the British Single of the Year and British Artist Video awards at the 2018 Brit Awards. By the way, at the ceremony, Dua set another record, winning five nominations – as the first female performer with so many awards.
I Would Rather Go Blind
Dua grew up in a musical family: her father Dukagjin Lipa is a member of one of the Albanian rock bands. According to the girl, it was the parent who influenced her the most – the girl grew up listening to his songs, which, in her words, resemble the hits of Sting, Stereophonics, Bob Dylan, and Radiohead. At the age of 14, Lipa began recording covers and publishing them on YouTube. Among the girl’s idols were Nelly Furtado and Pink, but Dua is not averse to experimenting with the blues – a cover of one of the famous songs by Etta James is an example of this.
Hotter Than Hell
The composition was presented in May 2016 and became the third single from Dua Lipa’s debut album. The song peaked at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart, and also entered the top twenty hits in Australia, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Lipa herself explained that Hotter Than Hell is a fairly clear statement about her willingness not to worry about an unsuccessful romance. “I was in a relationship in which my nerves were seriously frayed,” the singer admitted. – In the song, I replayed (the situation) and ended up in a better position, I was the person who will pull your nerves. It helped me to cope. It was good therapy. “
IDGAF
The seventh single from the album Dua Lipa entered the top three hits of the UK Singles Chart and reached 49th place on the Billboard Hot 100. In January, a video was presented, in which renowned director Henry Scholfield worked in collaboration with the Belgian artist Stromae. The video was nominated for the MTV Video Music Awards 2018 in the Best Choreography nomination.
“It took us 22 hours to shoot,” Dua said. – And (while working) magic happened with wonderful people and a team. This video is about fighting your strengths and weaknesses for the sake of realizing that self-love is what will help you overcome any negativity. “
By the way, IDGAF is an abbreviation of the phrase “I don’t give a f ***”.
One kiss
In April, the public was presented with a joint composition by Calvin Harris and Dua called One Kiss. This is the second single from Harris’s sixth album, with Kelvin serving as a producer, giving all the vocals to Lipa. The song quickly hit the leading positions in the charts, and was liked by music critics, in particular, the Forbes columnist noted that One Kiss “sounds like a tribute to ’90s house music”. “
Be the one
After the release of her debut album, Dua stated, “I want people to see a part of me. So that they have an idea of what happened over the years when I recorded the album, and recognize me. The song Be The One is about me. I want people to know that they are not alone and that we all go through difficult times. This is my main goal. Be as honest as possible on this album, and then all this club stuff. “
Lipa describes Be The One as a song about “your faith, perseverance, and struggle for what you want.”
Lost in Your Light
Lost in Your Light Dua was recorded with American singer and producer Miguel. The girl presented the song in April 2017, and the song was so successful that it got into the “50 Best Songs of 2017” according to Rolling Stone magazine (34th place). “The collaboration of the diva Dua Lipa with the R&B encyclopedist Miguel is an amazing rhythm and crazy vocals of two leading artists”, – the music reviewers describe the composition.
Blow your mind
It was not easy to conquer the UK, but in August 2016 Dua decided to become famous on the other side of the Atlantic. Her single Blow Your Mind debuted at # 72 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking her first step in conquering America.
Columnist Spin called the song “short and pretentious,” and the Idolator blog noted, “Playful like champagne, the perfect thing to become the first official single in the US.”
