Dua Lipa

the remix, live in LA or whatever it's called has the excellent percolating intro, which as someone said above should be the standard version of the song… and I have heard it on multiple radio formats and in RL situations in the past month…it is immediately effective in every single context I have encountered, so I would think it would go down a storm at the LGBT party of which you speak…probly a lot of the people who will be there do already or will know it by then, and any that don't would likely be immediately into it…

god the live in la version is so perfect

I've played it at Hot Mess in Glasgow and it does GO OFF! for sure. I played the mikeandtess edit that I linked above.

thanks, Veronica.

i'm glad to hear ppl's kids like her. personally i rarely hear anyone talk about her irl, tho this song and "new rules" are def big/widely heard

"New Rules" and "Don't Start Now" have become supermarket music, which is to me the undisputable, definitive proof that an artist has really broken into mainstream.

Aren't you the guy who
Tried to hurt me with the word "goodbye"
'Fore it took some time to survive you
I'm better on the other side

Feel like this is explicit acknowledgement that the lyrics are 'I Will Survive Pt 2' but maybe I'm reaching

I think it's a definite.

I know these sort of single-instrument Youtube covers usually are pretty boring, etc, but this is undeniably great:

I love that!

Yeah that cheered me the fuck up!

I remebered seeing this recommended to me on YouTube but hadn’t clicked on it – thanks for sharing it, it's great.

Only on ILM could there be an apparently earnest discussion over whether or not Dua Lipa has broken into the mainstream.

I was asking about North America.

I guess the new album just leaked. Did anyone got the chance to hear it?

the last song has a rhyming couplet style I’m not especially fond of and doesn’t really gel with the rest of it, but other than that...incredible

“cool”, “love again”, and especially “LEVITATING”, all stupendous songs

new single friday is the INXS one and that’s a banger too

She's pushed the official release date for the album up a week. It's out this Friday!

[spoiler] hello white town sample!!!! [/spoiler]

Yeah, that was a nice surprise.

I was expecting to hate the last two songs based on the reaction on Popjustice and RYM, but I kind of love them. Great album.

such a strong record.
I get the feeling some people might have with the last two songs but, personally, I have no problems with them.

on the one hand I really want to listen to the leak immediately; on the other hand I really don't want to make Dua Lipa cry

If you support Dua, please don't stream the leaked version of tue album!! Look at her she's devasted 😢Pleaseeeeeee it's her body of work RESPECT HER #DuaLipa #FutureNostalgia @DUALIPA pic.twitter.com/FWyWa5iiX8

I guess this will be her E•MO•TION huh?

What’s the name of the song with a White Town sample? dying to hear this one.

Is the MME good again? ;)

(thanks phone)

only thing i don't really care for on this is "good in bed", pretty solid otherwise and indeed very early 00s uk pop throughout. "cool" is especially wonderful

"love again"

Love Again should be the next single

it is!

Oh, I thought it was going to be Break My Heart but maybe that's just a promo/buzz single. I get so confused. Either would work, but Love Again seems like the most obvious hit on the album.

lol sorry i got their titles mixed up, you're right kitchen person

This album is fucking relentless. And "Break My Heart" is a great covid-19 anthem (I wonder if this is why it was chosen as the next single).

Chorus reminds me of Shakedown Street

So, this is pretty much the album of the year until the Jessie Ware one comes out right?

hi

the "need you tonight" interpolation in "break my heart" is really bugging me, it doesn't quite work with the rest of the song

video rules though

Once first listen, loving « Break my Heart »(indeed it’s zeitgeisty !) and the fabulous-kinky-obvious summer hit « Good in Bed » !

THE NEED YOU TONIGHT SAMPLE DKGKTKEKKDJFJF

Oh it’s actually “need you tonight” not “shakedown street”!

“Good in Bed” sounds like Lilly Allen to me, not sure I care about it.

Non-single tracks that I like on first listen: “cool”, “love again”

This album is *Cars voice* just what I needed.

I dig Good in Bed. Fun bop.

You want me
i want you baby
my sugar boo
i’m levitating
the milky way
we're renegading
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH

very early 00s uk pop throughout.

This ain't the early 00s. But why does it feel so good?

Damn, I haven’t seen the ILX hivemind so stoked for an album since Random Access Memories.

We've come too far.

It's good; it reminds me of Selena Gomez's January album. I like pop stars releasing these tight albums.
