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, "itās taken a complete turn as Iāve carried on working, and I really feel now that itās starting to sound cohesive,ā she told Variety. āSo Iām going to keep writing in the early months of the new year and see where that takes me. The album is different ā itās still pop but itās different sonically, and thereās more of a lyrical theme. If I told you the title, everything would make sense ā but I think weāll just have to wait.ā
During the interview, Dua and Elton also revealed how their smash hit collab "Cold Heart" came to be. āLuckily enough, Iād met her at the AIDS Foundation event,ā Elton revealed. āIn 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, āWeāve got this song. ā¦āā
āAnd my first answer was āYes, absolutely,āā Dua added, ābut they were like, āWell, listen to it before you agree to it,āā she continues, laughing. āI was in Malibu writing for my new album, and they sent it to me very early one morning. We were on FaceTime ā even though weāre friends, itās still surreal being on FaceTime with Elton and David ā and I remember I was in my bikini by the pool, wearing a cowboy hat for some reason. ā¦ ā
Elton jumped in, āAnd I said, āYouāve got to listen to it by the pool āĀ loud,' and within a day or so, she said, āIām in,ā and that was that.ā
