Dua Lipa -- Discussion Thread
I didn't see a thread talking about Dua Lipa. Now that she has a part in a movie out now, I thought I would start one.
Anyone here a fan of her music? I only recently started listening to some of her songs after hearing them on the radio.
I know the song has gotten a lot of airplay, but I quite like listening to Houdini. And the music video is very simple.
and I also like this session version
and of course she there is the song from Barbie
Just fun and catchy up tempo dance music that I can listen to stuck in traffic.

^^^ I don't get that. Just some random ass YouTuber saying he heard someone accuse her of plagiarism. Who the fuck cares?

I love her so much. This Day Drinking session with Seth Meyers is so fun.She is kind of guarded at first, but once she loosens up, it's great.

Random YouTuber? That's the lead singer/guitarist of The Darkness. He has a channel where he reacts to songs and whatnot. Roger Taylor's son Rufus Taylor is the drummer for The Darkness, as well. It's a lot more than just some "random YouTuber." Did you actually watch the clip and see how he compared the original to the lifted shit in her track? I hope INXS got some royalties for the lift, along with that reggae band.
I'll take The Darkness's "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" over Due Lipa's entire catalog. With that said, I'd still fuck the shit out of Dua Lipa. Let's not get it completely twisted.

She has been around since 2017 and dropping hit singles and not somebody new though gaining a little more recognition with her movie work but Djariya does not know since he has been living under a rock the last 7 years
This was not a single or a hit but a good song.

I stopped following pop music actively over 10 years ago, so I wasn't aware of Dua Lipa untl I heard the song from Barbie. And now her new song "Houdini" started getting a lot of airplay whenever I listen to the radio and I dig that song and will probably start trying to listen to more of her stuff.

You didn't already know these two songs? Both were pretty ubiquitous for years.

And they say Taylor is unfairly tough on her exes.

She's pretty much what I think of for modern pop music. It's catchy and well performed. She also seems to have a fun personality, I liked her Tiny Desk at Home gig during the pandemic:
Apparently she fell asleep at the bar and was wheelchaired out by her assistant without really notifying anyone... so she returned to the show, where her and Seth did more shots and got tattoos on stage. It was amusing.

Lipa will be touring in the U.S. next Fall
North American fans of Dua Lipa who’ve been clamoring for the U.S. to get a piece of the “Radical Optimism” tour will get their day… but they’ll have to wait for it, as Lipa won’t be coming to the States until September and October of 2025.
The pop superstar announced 20 dates in the U.S. and Canada for the fall of next year on Thursday, as part of a broader tour announcement that also included concerts she is adding onto her tour in Europe and other parts of the world starting in March.
The first U.S. shows will be Sept. 5-6 in Chicago, followed by similar two-nights stands in Boston Sept. 9-10, Atlanta Sept. 13-14, New York Sept. 17-18, Miami Sept, 26-27, Dallas Sept. 30-Oct. 1, Los Angeles Oct. 4-5, San Francisco Oct. 11-12 and Seattle Oct. 15-16. She has Canadian dates just prior to hitting the U.S., but not many — she’ll do two nights in Toronto next Sept. 1-2.

Tour is really small compared to her last one. I saw her in Detroit in 2022 I believe. Looks like I won't be seeing her this time.

I don't care much for pop music, especially current pop music, but I really dig Dua Lipa. Her albums are fun and short, just because a CD holds 80 minutes worth of music doesn't mean you have to fill it up.
