Dua Lipa has got me, I woke up this morning with her 'Don't Start Now' song in my head as an ear worm. Listened to her newest album yesterday why biking Wickham park mtb trails, Futura Nostalgia and it really is a nostalgic record. For one, its really good to listen to while working out, ie uptempo danceable. Two, Bringing the 80s Euro Trash slash pop diva music back with some disco. You may not have liked that music but I did. On this record and it is hidden somewhat but there are bits of pieces of well know 70s/80s pop hits. You pick up on that the more you listen to it. Borrowed baselines, blibs, chirps and drum beats. Her voice is pretty good. The english accent adds something to it and she has a little bit of a breathing sexuality to it. Of course the lyrics are all about sex and partying and dancing and having fun. Also, so much pop dance (borderline bubble-gum) that I'm sure a lot of pop-music haters won't like it. But, I hear elements of good musicianship. It's produced of course, but leaves enough soul in the music for a middle-aged, er, older gentlemen would like it. Katy Perry had a baby and now singing about daisies (although I like her new music as well)...Dua Lipa moves in #1 spot on my Pop Diva Queen (flavor for the moment).
