In her February cover story, Dua Lipa sat down with Rolling Stone and spilled the details about her new album. Here’s what we know.
‘s third album is almost here. She’s been teasing a new era since November, when she debuted “Houdini,” the first single from the long-anticipated project. In March, after weeks of speculation, she revealed the album title:that was released in January. Here is everything she told us about her new music and what we can expect from hertour, so she had time in between to start thinking about her next move.
She did end up writing quite a lot… 97 songs in fact. Obviously most of what Lipa wrote for the album ended up on the cutting room floor, especially the songs written before she launched her tour. For Lipa, the album didn’t really begin until she put Kevin Parker, Danny L Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr. and Caroline Ailin in a room together. Those four ended up being her primary collaborators on the album — she refers to as her “band” — and ended up working on eight of the 11 songs.
“Dating, I think overall, is just a little confusing,” she admitted of her experience. “It’s either through friends of friends or people you trust where you can meet new people, because is not really so straightforward when you are, I guess, a public person.”At least two songs hint at the end of her long-term, highly publicized relationship with Hadid.
“When you have a feeling like that one, you feel really grown because you’re like, ‘Oh, whoa, I’m such an evolved human being that I can see my ex move on and feel good about it,’” she explained, adding that this was a new for her. “I think I’ve had breakups in my life where I felt like the only kind of breakup you could have was when things just ended really badly. Things ending in a nice way was such a new thing.… It taught me a lot.
“This record feels a bit more raw,” she explained. “I want to capture the essence of youth and freedom and having fun and just letting things happen, whether it’s good or bad. You can’t change it. You just have to roll with the punches of whatever’s happening in your life.
