Dua Lipa on gender disparity and sexism in music: “There is a lot less scrutiny of male pop stars”

Another day in self-isolation means another opportunity to get creative, and no one seems to be taking that task more seriously than pop star Dua Lipa. The "Break My Heart" singer has been finding many unique ways to promote her latest album, Future Nostalgia, under these unique circumstances.

She’s quarantined in an Airbnb with boyfriend Anwar Hadid, but Dua Lipa feels anything but stuck. The couple, who began dating in July 2019, were forced to move into a rental home during the coronavirus pandemic after her own London flat became flooded.

While other artists have pushed their album release dates back to a (hopefully) less-turbulent time in the cultural landscape, pop star Dua Lipa instead pushed up Future Nostalgia to last week -- and was rewarded with her best week yet on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Dua Lipa is heading for Number 1 on this week’s Official Albums Chart with Future Nostalgia.

If you're a fan of both Dua Lipa and American Horror Story, this one's for you. The pop superstar recently sat down in the comfort of her own home to answer some questions for IHeartRadio's Ask Anything Chat, where she revealed that she would absolutely love a role on the hit FX series.

When lockdown measures began around the world, many people—including artists—got stuck in places they never intended to stay at. And among those displaced are Dua Lipa and Anwar Hadid, social distancing at an Airbnb in London. The 24-year-old pop songstress and her 20-year-old model boyfriend were essentially stranded at the rental after a “flood” in her own U.K. apartment—but their stay has been surprisingly “fine.”

Which means it is sober-up time for Dua Lipa, who is currently holed up with US model boyfriend Anwar Hadid in London amidst the Covid-19 shutdown, reports thesun.co.uk.

Dua Lipa is doing her best to adopt an “everything happens for a reason” approach following the online leak of her new album Future Nostalgia.

Dua Lipa’s second studio-album Future Nostalgia fuses lively electro-pop and disco sounds from decades past with new-school production, resulting in a remarkably fresh full-length product. While the 24-year-old notes that Madonna is one of the key inspirations for the album’s sonic stylings, she gathered influences from all across the board.

Dua Lipa has openly spoken about her experiences of sexism in the music industry.

New music Fridays are a thrilling, yet daunting prospect for any music lover.  It's essentially a weekly holiday where fan-favorite artists and fresh faces alike drop their latest offerings for all the world to hear, flooding streaming services and digital retailers with an onslaught of aural goodies.

Dua Lipa recently explained that she wants her new album, Future Nostalgia, to “sit alongside some of my favourite classic pop songs, whilst still feeling fresh and uniquely mine,” and perhaps nowhere is this more evident than on “Love Again.” The album’s 8th track features a prominent trumpet sample taken from a classic ‘90s UK hit: “Your Woman” by White Town.
