![]() ![]() Around the time of the American Music Awards in 2018, when I did “Electricity,” I had the album title. Is it true you started from the title backward in making this album? I’ve seen a couple of people do FaceTime house parties, so I’m hoping that’s going to happen. And so I just thought I’d be doing them a disservice to delay it, especially during this time.Īre you imagining them having any kind of disco parties in the privacy of their homes with this record? But I then also decided that I’ve already been waiting for so long to put this record out, and I think the fans are really excited for me to put the record out. ![]() So I was just kind of thinking about maybe to put it out at a happier time. And so I was kind of just going back and forth with the idea of moving it back in the hopes that when the weather gets a bit warmer, as some people were saying, we might hopefully see the virus go. I obviously wanted to put the album out, but I also didn’t want to put it out at a time when people were really suffering. It’s very tough to know exactly what to do, because we’ve never been through anything like this before, and so I was trying to understand what the right thing to do was. What were some of the discussions you had with people about whether to delay it or bump it up, or even any internal conversations you had with yourself? Did you think of just delaying it until this whole crisis is finally over? We’re all staying at home, or the majority of us are, and hopefully we can get the rest of the people to stay home too. But I’m really excited to put this album out now to give people time to live with it and listen to it when they’re at home. ![]() LIPA: It’s been definitely a weird time, and you never really know what the right thing to do is at times like this. VARIETY: The album is so upbeat, it has the promise to make a lot of people at least momentarily very happy - but you’ve admitted you had some inner conflicts about putting it out during the coronavirus crisis. (For our full review of “Future Nostalgia,” read here.) Lipa talked with Variety about speaking the universal language of timeless dance-pop on her new release. “ Future Nostalgia” is 100% ballad-free, with a style that might have seemed at home in the Studio 54 era, or at the height of Prince’s Minneapolis sound, as they do in clubs today (or will, once they reopen). Is this any time for a dance party? It is if you’re a fan of Dua Lipa, the English singer who won the best new artist Grammy in 2019 and is back with a sophomore album that literally doesn’t skip a beat. ![]()
