Arka plan ve kompozisyon

Lipa, ailesi ile birlikte Kosova'da yaşarken 15 yaşında İngiltere'ye taşındı ve burada müzik kariyerine başlamak istedi.[1] Ev arkadaşı ile birlikte Camden, Londra'da bir daire paylaştı ve Sylvia Young Theatre School'da yarı zamanlı işe başladı.[2] Sahne aldığı gece kulüplerindekilerle bağlantı kurdu ve 2013 yılında X Factor'e katıldı.[3]

Eğitimini Parliament Hill School'de tamamladıktan sonra müzik menajeri aramaya başladı ve şarkılarının demo kayıtları, Warner Bros. Records'da çalışan Ben Mawson'ın dikkatini çekti.[1][4][5] Mawson'ın talimatlarıyla 2015'te ilk çıkış albümünün hazırlıklarına başladı.[6] Lipa, Birleşik Devletleri'ne gidip şarkılarının tanıtımına devam etti ve albümü "karanlık pop" olarak tanımladı.[7]

İnsanların benden bir parça görmesini istedim. Albümü yazarken aslında insanların tam olarak neler olduğunu ve beni tanımasını istedim. Çok iyi oldu çünkü 'New Love' ve 'Be The One' yayınlandığında insanlara 'Bu tamamen benimle ilgili' dedim. İnsanlara o duyguyu yaşatmayı, yalnız olmadıklarını ve tüm aynı olayları atlatabileceğimizi istedim. Amaç buydu. Bu albümde olabildiğince doğruluk yaşatmak istedim. Kulüp şarkıları sonra da gelse olur."

—Lipa çıkış albümü hakkında.[8]

Albümün yönlendirilmesinde Lipa, "Kendi müziğime baktığımda Nelly Furtado, P!nk ve Destiny's Child dinlediğimi gördüm ama büyürken de hip hop'a olan düşkünlüğümü de gördüm böylece rap dinlediğimi de fark ettim... Bunun arkasındaki gerçekliği gördüm ve müziği böyle yönlendirdim. Yeri geldiğinde rap söyledim, yeri geldiğinde pop nakaratları söyledim," dedi.[9]

Haziran 2017'de Official Charts Company ile yaptığı röportajda Lipa, "Söz yazarken çok fazla çalışıyordum ve hep daha fazla yazdım, albümü bitirdim... gerçekten çılgınca oldu - birçok muhteşem insanla çalıştım. Durup baktığımızda birçok şeyin gerçekleştiğini fark ettim," dedi.[10] MNEK ile de stüdyoda çalıştığını doğruladı.[11]

Yayınlanma

Albümün orijinal yayınlanma tarihi 30 Eylül 2016 olacaktı ancak 10 Şubat 2017'ye ertelendi.[12] 11 Ocak 2017'de Twitter hesabından albümün yayın tarihini tekrar ileri tarihe attığını açıklayan Lipa, "olabildiğince yeni şarkı eklemeye çalıştığını" söyledi.[13] 26 Ağustos 2016'da "Blow Your Mind (Mwah)" adlı parçasını yayınladı ve albümün kapağını dinleyicilerle paylaştı, aynı zamanda albümü ön siparişe sundu.[12][14]

Nisan 2017'de ise Joe Webb tarafından albümdeki her şarkının animasyon kolaj resimleri yayınlandı.[15]

Albüm adı ve kapak resmi

Albüm adı ve kapağı için Lipa, "Albüm kapak resmini paylaşmak için sabırsızlanıyorum ve tüm bu sabır ve destekleriniz için teşekkür ediyorum. Albümün kendi adımın olmasının sebebi albümün tamamen beni içermesi. Aslında size bir şarkıcıdan ziyade kendi kişiliğimi sunuyorum," dedi.[12] Albümün standart versiyonun kapağı "minimal" olarak yorumlanırken Lipa'nın üzerinde bir ceket ve ıslak saçlarla, elini yüzüne koymuş şekilde poz vermesi beğenildi. Deluxe versiyonunda yine aynı resim kullanırken arka plan renginin renk tonları değiştirilirken[12] Complete Edition baskısında yine farklı tonlar kullanıldı.[16]

Early life

Dua Lipa was born in London,[1] the eldest child of Kosovo Albanian parents Anesa (née Rexha) and Dukagjin Lipa from Pristina, FR Yugoslavia (present-day Kosovo[a]).[2][3] Her family is of Muslim heritage.[4] Through her maternal grandmother, she is of Bosnian descent.[5][6][7]

Her ancestry can also be traced back to the city of Peja, Kosovo. Both of her grandfathers were historians.[8] She has a sister named Rina and a brother named Gjin Lipa.[9][10][11][12] Lipa was musically influenced by her father,[13][14][15] who was the lead singer and guitarist of the Kosovan rock band Oda.[16][17][12] Her father continued to play music at home, including his own compositions and songs of artists such as David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Radiohead, Sting, the Police and Stereophonics.[14][15][18] Lipa started singing at the age of five.[19]

Lipa grew up in West Hampstead, London.[17] She attended Fitzjohn's Primary School,[20][21] where her music lessons included the cello.[3] When she auditioned to enter the school choir, the teacher told her that "she could not sing".[3][14][22] At the age of nine, she began weekend singing lessons at the Sylvia Young Theatre School.[3][23][24] Lipa moved with her family to Pristina after Kosovo declared independence in 2008.[23][19] There, she attended Mileniumi i Tretë School[25] and learned more about the Albanian language and considered a musical career.[26][27]

Lipa moved back to London at age 15.[28][29] At Parliament Hill School she achieved her A-Levels, then re-entered Sylvia Young Theatre School part-time.[29][30] She uploaded her own songs to SoundCloud and on YouTube. She began posting videos of herself covering songs such as "If I Ain't Got You" (2004) by Alicia Keys and "Beautiful" (2002) by Christina Aguilera on YouTube.[19] Lipa modeled with Topshop[28] and signed with a modelling agency, helping her land a role as a "singer" in an ITV advertisement for The X Factor in 2013, covering the song "Lost in Music" (1979).[31][32] She acquired a producer and a manager.[2][29]

Music career

2013–2017: Career beginnings and Dua Lipa

Lipa in 2016

In 2013, Lipa signed a contract with Tap Management, directed by Ben Mawson and Ed Millett, while working as a waitress in a cocktail bar. Lipa was introduced to Mawson by her lawyer, who discouraged her from signing another publishing deal that was offered to her. Subsequently, they offered her a monthly salary to leave her job and focus on recording music.[33] During one of the sessions, Lipa co-wrote the song "Hotter than Hell",[33] which would eventually lead to her signing a record deal with Warner Bros. Records in 2014.[34][35] Millett retrospectively elaborated: "Dua was really smart – she signed to Warner Bros. partly because they didn't have a big female pop artist and they needed one. They really wanted her, so she had the focus of the team from day one."[33] In August 2015, Lipa released her first single, "New Love",[36] produced by Emile Haynie and Andrew Wyatt.[37] Her second single, "Be the One", was issued to European success in October 2015,[38][39] reaching number one in Belgium,[40] Poland and Slovakia, as well as charting within the top ten in over eleven European territories. In Australia and New Zealand, the song became an airplay success, reaching numbers 6 and 20 respectively.[41] In November 2015, she was revealed as one of the acts on the BBC Sound of... 2016 long list.[42] Her first tour in the UK and Europe began in January 2016,[43] and concluded in November 2016.[44]

We've seen artists who might get half a good song out of 10 writing sessions; with Dua, one in five or one in four is a banger. She gets results out of other people as well, because her personality is so engaging and she is so charismatic. She definitely has that special something.

—Ben Mawson on Lipa's songwriting[45]

On 18 February 2016, Lipa released her third single, "Last Dance", followed by "Hotter than Hell" on 6 May. The latter reached success, particularly in the UK, where it peaked at number 15.[46] On 26 August, her fifth overall single, "Blow Your Mind (Mwah)", was released, peaking at number 30 in the UK.[46] It became the singer's first entry on the US Billboard Hot 100, debuting at number 72.[47] The song also topped the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart[48] and reached number 23 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart.[49] Lipa was featured on Sean Paul's single "No Lie", released in November 2016,[50] which reached number ten in the UK.[51] The following month, a documentary about Lipa named See in Blue was commissioned by The Fader magazine.[52] In January 2017, Lipa won the EBBA Public Choice Award,[53] and released the single "Scared to Be Lonely", a collaboration with Martin Garrix, reaching number 14 in the UK.[54] In May 2017, she performed at the anniversary of Indonesian television channel SCTV and was awarded as Young and Promising International Artist at the SCTV Music Awards.[55][56]

Lipa's self-titled debut studio album was released on 2 June 2017.[57] Its sixth single, "New Rules", released in the following month, became Lipa's first number one in the UK,[46] and the first by a female solo artist to reach the top in the UK since Adele's "Hello" in 2015.[58] Her best-selling single to date, the song also charted in the top ten of other countries, including number two in Australia, number six in the US, and number seven in Canada.[59] Lipa performed at the Glastonbury Festival in June.[60] The following month, Lipa performed at the We the Fest, an Indonesian music festival in Jakarta.[61] She performed on BBC's Later... with Jools Holland in October.[62] In December, Lipa was named the most streamed woman of 2017 in the UK by Spotify.[63] She had four singles reach the UK top 10 in 2017, with "Be the One", "New Rules", "No Lie", and "Bridge over Troubled Water", a charity single for the families of the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire in London.[64] In January 2018, Lipa received nominations in five categories at the Brit Awards, more nominations than any other artist that year. She was nominated for MasterCard British Album of the Year for Dua Lipa, British Single of the Year and British Video of the Year for "New Rules", British Female Solo Artist, and British Breakthrough Act, winning the latter two.[65] This was the first time that a female artist had received five nominations.[66][67]

2018–present: Future Nostalgia

Lipa at the Hollywood Palladium in February 2018

The brand created a remix of Lipa's song "Want To", and launched a service where fans could create their own version of Dua Lipa x Jaguar's song on the Join the Pace website, based on their own driving behaviour or the music they listen to, and share it on social media. According to Lipa's team, Jaguar and Lipa set the world record for the "most remixed song ever".[77] In October, the singer released Dua Lipa: The Complete Edition, an expanded version of her debut album that includes three new songs, including the aforementioned "Want To", and her previous collaborations with other artists.[78] This included a collaboration with South Korean girl group Blackpink called "Kiss and Make Up".[79] In January 2019, Lipa released the single "Swan Song" as part of the soundtrack to the 2019 film Alita: Battle Angel.[80][81] That same month, Lipa stated that she spent the preceding year in the writing process for her second studio album.[82] Lipa commented that the album's sound would be a "nostalgic" pop record that "feels like a dancercise class".[83] In August 2019, Lipa partnered with brand Yves Saint Laurent to endorse their fragrance Libre.[84]

Lipa at the 2020 Grammy Awards

Following the release of its lead single "Don't Start Now", Lipa's second album, Future Nostalgia, and its accompanying tour were announced in December 2019.[85][86][87] "Don't Start Now" peaked at number two on both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100.[51][47][88] It also peaked at number one on the US Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart.[89] Lipa's second single leading up to the release of the album was "Physical".[90] It was released on 30 January 2020 and the song's music video was released a day later.[90] "Physical" debuted at number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[91] Future Nostalgia was released on 27 March to widespread critical acclaim,[92] following the release of the record's third single "Break My Heart" on 25 March.[93] The album debuted at number two on the Official UK Albums Chart, 5550 copies behind 5 Seconds of Summer's Calm.[94] Future Nostalgia peaked at number one on the Official UK Albums Chart the following week in April 2020, while four of the album's singles entered the top ten of the Official Singles Chart.[95] The album holds the record for having the lowest one-week sales while at the top of the chart in the modern era; when it was number one––the week beginning 15 May 2020––the album accumulated a mere 7,317 sales.[96] At the time of the album's release, Lipa became the first British female artist since Vera Lynn to have three top-ten singles in a single calendar year, with Lynn having three in 1952.[97] Lipa eventually overrode this record with the single "Levitating", which also peaked within the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming her third top-ten in the US overall. Lipa's music video for "Physical" was nominated for Best Art Director at the Berlin Music Video Awards in 2020. The art director of the music video is Anna Colomer Nogué.[98]

On 11 August 2020, she was named global ambassador of the French mineral water brand Évian.

All proceeds went to families and victims affected by the seismic event.[312][313] On 15 March 2020, she asked her fans to make donations to the UNHCR agency to deal with COVID-19 pandemic because refugees are "the most vulnerable on this planet" and they "often live in crowded places" with "limited health services".[314][315] In the same month, she was part of a television special called "Home Fest" on The Late Late Show with James Corden From His Garage with the goal of raising money for CDC and Feed the Children where she performed her song, "Don't Start Now" (2019), from an apartment in London.[316] On 16 May 2020, she did a live performance of her song "Break My Heart" (2020) on the television special Graduate Together: America Honors the High School Class of 2020 aimed at the high school students whose graduation ceremonies and proms were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[317] At the end of May 2020, she participated in a digital event called "Dream With Us" with the aim of raising funds,[318] whose event consisted of a streaming concert at which a portion of proceeds would go to organisations that help fight the disease of COVID-19.[319]

Controversies

Russell Brown and Sandy Linzer "claimed that Levitating infringed on their 1979 disco song Wiggle and Giggle All Night".[328]

Personal life

Notes

Kosovo's status is controversial. Since a group of people referred to as "leaders of our people, democratically elected" declared independence in 2008 under the name Republic of Kosovo, it has been formally recognized as an independent state by 97 UN member states (with 15 others that recognized it at one point but then withdrew recognition), while Serbia continues to claim it to be part of its own sovereign territory as the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metochia.
