Dua Lipa has given fans insights into her upcoming album, revealing that the “psychedelic-pop-infused” record draws inspiration from various musicians, including Primal Scream, Massive Attack, Oasis, Blur, Moby and Gorillaz. In an interview with Rolling Stone, the singer told journalist Brittany Spanos that the new album is a “tribute to U.K. rave culture” and incorporates diverse sounds that maintain a “psychedelic throughline.” She added that the album aims to capture “the essence of youth and freedom and having fun and just letting things happen.”
During the interview, Lipa also revealed that she was initially nervous when she had to collaborate with Kevin Parker of Tame Impala. However, she later realized that Parker was just like her, and the two began working together with Caroline Ailin, Danny L Harle, and Tobias Jesso Jr on eight out of the 11 tracks on the album. Parker called the collaboration “a genius move.”
