New Music Friday: Dua Lipa's got a new song out

  • January 31, 2020
  • Peter Robinson

Notes on this week's new release:

  • Dua Lipa today releases her best single since Be The One. (Behind all the banging and crashing it's also, in some respects, her most Be The One-esque single since Be The One.)
  • A standing ovation please for everybody involved in the new Dua Lipa single: Clarence Coffee Jr, Jason Evigan, Sarah Hudson, Stephen Kozmeniuk and Dua Lipa.
  • "I don't want to live another life because this one's pretty nice" in the new Dua Lipa single: pretty nice.
  • Best artwork of the week: Dua Lipa's Physical.
  • There's a great bit in the new Dua Lipa single where it very very nearly goes 'the full Bonnie Tyler' and if that's a hint that BT will be this year's big unex­pec­ted pop influence, thus making her 2020's answer to Trent Reznor, then, well, there would be worse things in the world.
  • The new Dua Lipa single is so powerful it could reverse Brexit.
  • Dua Lipa created something phe­nom­enal, don't you agree?
