Dua Lipa New Album 2024: Singer Admits That Her Songs Are Grower, Not #1 Hits

Dua Lipa is one of the biggest artists of this generation. Gaining popularity in the late 2010s, Lipa seemed to have concocted the perfect formula when she was releasing her songs.

Take for example, her disco-infused dance anthem, "Dance The Night" from "Barbie" - the song might have debuted outside the Top 40 of Billboard, but it has become an earworm as the weeks go by, and ultimately peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard charts.

Dua Lipa Admits That Her Songs Are Growers

In a cover story for Rolling Stone, Dua Lipa confessed that she had noticed a similar pattern among her songs, noting that they "gradually grow" over time.

"They take so long and never get to Number One, but they stay around for a long time," she admitted.

Lipa has no complaints whether her song does not reach No. 1 immediately, or ever; while it is nice to have a chart-topper, she feels like longevity is better.

"As long as the songs stick around and people are listening to them, I'm cool with that," she added.

Dua Lipa New Album Details

Elsewhere in the interview with Rolling Stone, Dua Lipa seemed to have previewed the new album to the publication.

"The final product is uniquely and utterly Dua Lipa: confident dance pop full of witty Instagram-caption-ready one-liners. A lot of the songs are playful scenes from clubs or nights out with friends; the lyrics toggle from warnings that she'll make a fast escape to optimism about what a first kiss could become," Rolling Stone described Dua Lipa's new album. "There are no sweeping ballads, though there is one good ballad fake-out that blooms into a more buoyant Carole King- and Fleetwood Mac-inspired moment."

The album was also said to have been inspired by acts like Primal Screen and Massive Attack. Rolling Stone described it to be a "total 180 from her last era."

"This record feels a bit more raw," she described about her new album. "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."
