DESCRIPTION:
Pop Dance R&B, Disco LP -Vinyl Inc Hits Physical, Dont Start Now & Break My Heart
In 2017, after years of promotional buildup and an unbroken streak of hit singles, English singer Dua Lipa became a veritable superstar, conquering the pop landscape with a near-perfect debut and racking up additional chart smashes as an in-demand guest vocalist. At the turn of the decade, she returned with her sophomore effort, Future Nostalgia. Without collapsing under the pressure of high expectations, Lipa managed to deliver a package that was somehow sleeker, cooler, and more compulsively listenable than her first outing. In the spirit of pulse-pounding classics like Kylie Minogue's Fever or Madonna's Confessions on a Dance Floor, Lipa channeled the best of past decades -- '70s disco, '80s dance-pop, and '90s club jams -- to create her own joyous, sweat-glistened vision of bliss. Not a moment is wasted here, and Future Nostalgia is a brisk and breathless experience that begs to be played on loop. With an endless supply of confidence, charm, and cooler-than-you attitude, Lipa pulls listeners onto the dancefloor with immediate earworms like the funky kiss-off "Don't Start Now," the rapturous out-of-body rave "Hallucinate," and the glistening full-body workout "Physical," a distant cousin of Madonna's "Hung Up" and Lady Gaga's "Applause." At the end of the night, when things transition to the bedroom, Lipa offers the begging "Pretty Please" and the giddily horny "Good in Bed." Throughout, she finds inspiration from the funkiest of forebears, channeling 2000s Timbaland hip-pop on the title track, Daft Punk's own Chic-inspired electro-disco on "Levitating," and even INXS's guitar-based allure with "Break My Heart." She even drops a surprising sample on "Love Again," which fans of the Al Bowlly-sampling White Town one-hit wonder will absolutely adore. Flipping her hair at detractors with a wink and a smile on "Future Nostalgia," she sings, "You want a timeless song/I wanna change the game." With this flawless effort, she manages to achieve both. Future Nostalgia could have just as well been titled "Future Classic."

Last FM Information on Dua Lipa
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Dua Lipa (born August 22, 1995) is an English-Albanian singer-songwriter. She was born in London of refugee parents from the Republic of Kosovo, growing up between both countries until fully moving back to London at age 15.
Dua Lipa began to write her name in the music industry. Lipa gained attention from the specialized media as an artist after the release of her debut album in 2017, "Dua Lipa" (self-titled). It won the third position on the UK Albums Chart and featured eight singles. "New Rules" and "IDGAF" have become global hits, reaching the number 1 position in countries such as Australia, Belgium, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, as well as reaching the top ten positions in more than 30 countries, including the USA for "New Rules" . The album featured the hits "One Kiss" with Calvin Harris, "Be The One", "Scared To Be Lonely" with Martin Garrix, "No Lie" with Sean Paul and many others. It later received 5 nominations at the BRITs Awards, the most important British awards ceremony in music. She also won with her debut album two Grammys, "Best Dance Recording" for her song "Electricity" with Silk City, and moreover the "Best New Artist" award. "Dua Lipa" (self-titled) is the most streamed female album of all-time on Spotify.
But Lipa's great success would even come in her second album "Future Nostalgia", which made the promising young woman a true pillar of world pop music. Having hits such as "Don't Start Now", "Break My Heart" and "Levitating" , the album is currently the most played female album of the 2020's decade on Spotify and secured a Grammy at the 2021 ceremony for "Best Pop Vocal Album" and was present among the nominations for "Album of the Year". It also won the Brit Award for "Album of the Year". "Future Nostalgia" is the 2nd most streamed female album of all-time on Spotify. "Don't Start Now" became her most streamed hit on Spotify, nominated for "Record of the Year" at the Grammys. It was the biggest female song of the year 2020.
The British phenomenon has captured an all-time record on the Billboard Hot 100, all thanks to the success of "Levitating". The track became the longest-charting female song on the chart, with 77 weeks, being the 4th song overall to reach this astonishing feat. The same track became the biggest hit of 2021 in the United States and globally without ever reaching #1, proving once and for all that the disputed #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100, that she still doesn't have reached, doesn't define the success of an artist. For Lipa, it seems that longevity is more important than an instant success.
Her song, "Cold Heart" with Elton John and PNAU, was one of the biggest hits of 2022. She had during that year a sold-out global stadium and arena tour with "The Future Nostalgia Tour", marking her as a definitive icon of the beginning of the 2020's decade, especially in the European continent, her main music market.
She began her third album cycle in 2024, while also making her acting debut that year with "Barbie" and "Argylle" in 2024. Her third album, "Radical Optimism," was released on May 3rd, 2024.
