NEW SINGLE RELEASES bite new music Dua Lipa – Don’t Start Now Images courtesy of Satellite 414 S inger Dua Lipa recently released her new track ‘Don’t Start Now’ serving up a divine slice of pumping Nu Disco and pure adrenalin-fuelled, feel-good dancefloor anthem of positivity and self-empowerment. Taken from her second forthcoming album, it has been two years since the artist released her self-titled debut album. Speaking about the new song, Dua said, “I chose to put this song out first so I could close one chapter of my life and start another. Into a new era with a new sound! It’s about moving on and not allowing anyone to get in the way of that. It also felt like a natural first song choice as I made it with the same brilliant crew I made ‘New Rules’ with.” Since the singer-songwriter and model arrived on the music scene in 2015, her debut album has eclipsed 4 million sales worldwide and spawned 40 million single sales. It is said to be officially the most streamed album by a female artist in Spotify history. Dua is also the youngest artist ever to hit 1 billion views on YouTube and has won three BRITS and two Grammys. The singer gave an electrifying performance of ‘Don’t Start Now’ at the MTV EMAS 2019 sporting a new blonde look and also premiered the single on the Graham Norton Show. The single has hit #1 on theWorldwide iTunes chart, #1 on YouTube’s Trending chart, #2 in the UK’s Official Charts, and garnered her the most ever Day 1 views for a video on YouTube. www.dualipa.com
