Dua Lipa She is willing for 2024 to be one of those years that define a career. She has her third studio album ready and, so far, has only released a preview. That ‘Houdini’ ideal to say goodbye to 2023 and which was the beginning of an era in which the ‘dance’ of the 90s will be embraced, also in aesthetics. Last week she warned on social media that the second track of that album was about to see the light of day, but what we didn’t imagine was that it would be so, so soon. We are not talking about the recorded version with all the perfection that this entails, but rather a live version that we did not count on. Because this very morning he took advantage of his minutes on the stage of the Premios GRAMMY to sing a little bit of that ‘Trainings Season’ after which he launched into the frenetic rhythm of ‘Houdini’.
Dua once again became one of the biggest centers of attention of the night, and social networks were quick to surrender to that performance that has gone viral and that we rescued you from X – old Twitter – so that you can hit ‘play’ and Discover what this new number 1 sounds like from one of the most representative voices of the best musical variety you hear on CADENA 100.
What we know about the album
A little over a week ago, Dua Lipa became the cover of ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine, where she gave an interview in which she gave some clues about what is to come with that work. Also where the journalist in charge of chatting with her had the privilege of listening to him and making some considerations, like this: “The final product is uniquely Dua Lipa: self-assured, danceable pop, full of Instagrammable one-liners.”. And he added about the journey of the 11 songs that are part of the album: Many of the songs are playful scenes from clubs or nights out with friends; The lyrics alternate between warnings that he will quickly escape and optimism about what a first kiss could turn out to be. There are no sweeping ballads, although there is a good false ballad that blossoms into a more buoyant moment inspired by Carole King and Fleetwood Mac. Overall, this album is pure pop bliss, not unlike their ‘Future Nostalgia’ approach.”
THE MATURITY OF DUA LIPA
In this journey that the journalist takes, she explains how Dua rides through themes that range from immersing herself in the sadness of ending a relationship to that search for maturity that we are going to find. “When you have a feeling like that, you feel very mature because you think, ‘Wow, I’m such a mature human being that I can watch my ex move on and feel good about it.’ I think I’ve had breakups in my life where I felt “that the only kind of breakup you could have was when things ended really badly.”is the most concrete explanation given by her, one of the most powerful voices of the best musical variety that you hear on CADENA 100.
As we said, it will have 11 songs, a couple of them less than the studio album from which this work is made – for which we still do not have a specific name and its fans refer to it as DL3-. And throughout all of them what he does is a tribute work to pop from the 80s, with Massive Attack and Primal Scream as banners on which to build the sound. Or what is the same: a tribute to the rave culture of the United Kingdom, but with psychedelic touches that give the project a broader dimension. You will also navigate through the ‘underground’, to distinguish this stage from the previous one and that It also allows you to make a foray into the 90s.
