A voice with a sense of direction
Some artists make you want to move before the first chorus is over. That is a simple way into Dua Lipa’s world: listen to the bass, the beat and the way her voice plays off both. You do not need to know the choreography to find your way into a song.
In 2019, she won the Grammy for Best New Artist and also took home Best Dance Recording for Electricity with Silk City. Together, those two milestones capture the arrival of a new voice and its connection to dance music.
An album worth hearing from start to finish
Future Nostalgia won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2021. Beyond the award, returning to the full album reveals connections that a playlist of singles might miss: shifts in energy, transitions and contrasts between songs.
Our listening suggestion is simple: give it one uninterrupted play, then listen again while following just one element, such as the percussion. Comparing the two experiences can turn a familiar album into a small discovery. You can explore the dance floor from home, too.
