Dua Lipa has given fans more information on her next album! During her recent Variety interview with Elton John, the singer opened up about how progress on her follow-up to Future Nostalgia is coming along.
Earlier this year, the British pop star revealed that the album was halfway finished. Now, "itโs taken a complete turn as Iโve carried on working, and I really feel now that itโs starting to sound cohesive,โ she told Variety. โSo Iโm going to keep writing in the early months of the new year and see where that takes me. The album is different โ itโs still pop but itโs different sonically, and thereโs more of a lyrical theme. If I told you the title, everything would make sense โ but I think weโll just have to wait.โ
During the interview, Dua and Elton also revealed how their smash hit collab "Cold Heart" came to be. โLuckily enough, Iโd met her at the AIDS Foundation event,โ Elton revealed. โIn our fight against AIDS, we are desperately in need of younger voices to get people to listen, and she is an incredible live performer, so I knew she would be perfect. So David and I took her to dinner and said, โWeโve got this song. โฆโโ
โAnd my first answer was โYes, absolutely,โโ Dua added, โbut they were like, โWell, listen to it before you agree to it,โโ she continues, laughing. โI was in Malibu writing for my new album, and they sent it to me very early one morning. We were on FaceTime โ even though weโre friends, itโs still surreal being on FaceTime with Elton and David โ and I remember I was in my bikini by the pool, wearing a cowboy hat for some reason. โฆ โ
Elton jumped in, โAnd I said, โYouโve got to listen to it by the pool โย loud,' and within a day or so, she said, โIโm in,โ and that was that.โ
