Why Dua Lipa Is The Future Of Pop

Why Dua Lipa is the future of Pop

- Amit Vaidya

English pop star Dua Lipa is all set to perform her first-ever live show in India this month, joining Katy Perry for the OnePlus Music Festival in Mumbai. With a voice filled with layers of maturity far beyond her actual years and a catalogue already comprised of hits that carry a quality of timelessness, it’s hard to imagine that the pop world hasn’t had Dua Lipa in it for a very long time. The British singer of Albanian origin first made waves towards the end of 2015 with her second single, “Be The One,” a haunting slice of “dark-pop,” as she calls it. The single helped establish her across Europe and the Australian market. She would go on to dominate the airwaves from 2016 onwards with hits like “Hotter Than Hell” and “Blow Your Mind (Mwah).” By the time 2017 came around and her self-titled debut album dropped, she already had nearly a half-dozen hits.
