This was my favourite pop star mag cover for some time, I mean I know it's GQ and everything but the combination of her and 'A billion people can't be wrong' with 'Could Jacob Rees-Mogg get any worse?' is pretty hard to top

"This was my favourite pop star mag cover for some time, I mean I know it's GQ and everything but the combination of her and 'A billion people can't be wrong' with 'Could Jacob Rees-Mogg get any worse?' is pretty hard to top"
I'm really bothered by the way that the question mark at the end of that line pushes past the right border of the text. It looks wrong.
For all those people reading this in 2027, when the image is gone, there was originally a picture of the front cover of the British edition of GQ magazine, May 2018. All of the headlines on the right were right-aligned to a rigid border but the question mark in the last headline, "Could Jacob Rees-Mogg get any worse?", extended over the edge of the border, and in 2019 it bothered me.
In 2027 you will walk through a miniature recreation of London and see a miniature version of yourself.

She feels very generic to me, I don’t get the appeal...

If you're looking for a popstar to sell you/the public at large on their persona (and I think that's fairly reasonable) then Dua Lipa has absolutely not managed to do that yet, but the material she's been getting chart hits with has been pretty uniformly A+ so far imo

Also if the phrase "Grammy Moment" has ever meant anything good it's in reference to her joint performance w/ St. Vincent from the most recent one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tw2LMnxvW0

the performance i linked is great less because of whatever star power dua lipa may or may not have and more because her backing band sounds incredible

also she plays the woodblock

"don't start now" builds to something so great during its prechorus only to let it all come crashing down during that clunker of a chorus
― dyl, Sunday, 22 December 2019 16:36 (four years ago) link
The way Don't Start Now goes back into the second verse is one of my favourite moments of the year. Really gives me Sophie Ellis-Bextor vibes.
Future Nostalgia is incredible. I can't stop listening to it.

I've grown to like it on the strength of the prechorus alone but otm

I was on the fence with this song as well, but I’ve fallen for it now, a process set in motion by ufo posting the Fallon performance. All the parts people have identified as great (pre-chorus, chorus, the way the verse starts) actually felt like clunkers to me at some point. That disco break after the second chorus is the real highlight though.

the new single "physical" is out friday. she's also been delivering the goods with performances of "don't start now" - esp. this one w/ its extended intro:

I love how much she changes up the arrangement for every performance and sells it every single time.
Hope this new single comes with the album announcement. Probably my most anticipated album of the year along with Jessie Ware.

"Houdini" did grow on me a little but the new one is a more successful collaboration between the same artists. Still not wowed but a good song

"A couple years ago, a friend introduced me to the term Radical Optimism. It’s a concept that resonated with me, and I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life," Lipa says in the announcement. "It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm. At the same time, I found myself looking through the music history of psychedelia, trip hop, and Britpop. It has always felt so confidently optimistic to me, and that honesty and attitude is a feeling I took into my recording sessions."
