Dua Lipa

To say how much the internet seems to want to point out how Dua Lipa is over and the album was bobbins she has still sold out the stadium dates over here this morning apparently, fair play. Should give that album another go.

Think I underestimated how many bangers she had pre-Future Nostalgia. I’d like to see her but not for £100ish standing

Future Nostalgia is her weakest album.

2 of the songs are based around the same rubbish Offspring song, that’s two too many.

Scared you’ll ruin this album…but what songs and what offspring tune?!

I skip the last couple tunes on FN but the rest is all time for me

Completely this. My AOTY for 2020 despite those two tunes.

Boys Will Be Boys is good, actually, is my favourite water cooler topic. And I’m right!!!

The riff from Physical is the same as The Kids Aren’t Alright, and then she slams that fact home by singing the kids aren’t alright a few songs later.

Oh shit! Gonna check this out tonight - always get some Dua into my DJing and I was planning on having a little go tonight.

(I also quite like the kids aren’t alright even though it’s a bit rubbish :grinning:)

Yeah, I don’t mind it, but it was on the cusp of me going from loving Smash to realising everything else they’ll ever release will be makes raspberry sound

The Kids Aren’t Alright is banger, so the songs are made better for being similar to it IMO

The Majority of Americana are bangers tbf

A fairly interesting interview with Dua Lipa’s Music Director about putting her shows together, and musical direction in general for big pop stars:

As an aside, amazing to see his career trajectory from drumming in I Was A Cub Scout through to this!

He’s still the drummer in Brontide too iirc.
