Dua Lipa Excites Fans With Anticipation Of Upcoming Album Next Year
Dua Lipa has some exciting news for her fans and music lovers. The pop singer-songwriter recently revealed in an interview with T Magazine that her highly anticipated third studio album is set to drop in 2024. Fans won’t have to wait too long to enjoy new music from their favorite artist.
In a departure from her signature disco sound, the 27-year-old mentioned that she plans to take a new direction with her music. However, she reassured fans that her music will still stay true to the pop genre as she emphasized that she doesn’t want to “alienate” her dedicated fanbase. Her upcoming project draws inspiration from the intriguing world of “1970s-era psychedelia,” promising a fresh and unique musical experience.
For this album, the Levitating singer is making intentional choices in her creative process. She’s collaborating with a more intimate group of fellow musicians, and while rumors swirled about her partnership with Kevin Parker of Australian psych-rock band Tame Impala, Dua playfully dismissed those speculations. When asked about it, she laughed and quipped, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
The artist also revealed that her upcoming album will offer a “more personal” glimpse into her world. However, fans shouldn’t expect to find out something surprising. Dua expressed her thoughts on this trend, stating, “I think it’s a marketing tool: How confessional can you be? I also don’t put so much of my life out there for people to dig into the music in this weird, analytical way.”
Dua’s recent emotional connection to music was sparked by the 2020 Bee Gees documentary How Can You Mend a Broken Heart. She recounted how she found herself “bawling my eyes out” while watching it. She resonated with the concept of music that simply makes you feel good and aims to convey that same emotional resonance through her upcoming songs.
Renowned producer Mark Ronson, who worked on the Barbie soundtrack, shared his excitement about Dua’s involvement in the project. He praised her contribution to the track Dance the Night and couldn’t contain his admiration for her upcoming album. “I’ve heard some of it, and it’s incredible,” he enthused.
As Dua’s new era unfolds, fans got a taste of what’s to come with the music video for Dance the Night. The video features a disco ball smashing, symbolizing her transition from the disco-themed music of her past into an exciting new chapter.
