Superstar singer Dua Lipa has teased that she is working on new music. During an interview on the red carpet at the recent Brit Awards, she opened up about the prospect of new material and what fans can expect next from her. The ‘Don’t Start Now’ singer spoke about her plans to celebrate music and how she aspires to make up for lost time after the year of COVID that changed our live musical landscape.
“Yeah, I think so! This kind of feels like a good way to round it up – especially with performances – but I’ve still got everything crossed that hopefully I’ll be back on the road and still touring this album.” The singer also spoke directly concerning when her fans can expect new music. “I’m working on some bits, so possibly there will be something soon.” In the full interview below, the singer speaks further concerning new material and states her excitement to attend the awards and perform and also discusses her contemporaries.
During her win at this year’s awards, the singer scooped a hat trick of awards. She won Best British album for ‘Future Nostalgia‘, best British single for the singer’s 2020 smash hit ‘Physical‘ and the Best Female Solo Artist Award for the second time. During her acceptance speech for the Best Female Solo Artist Award, Lipa called for action. She called out the Prime Minister’s contentious one per cent pay raise for nurses, also during her acceptance speech Lipa dedicated her award to Dame Elizabeth Anionwu, who famously battled during her career to ensure that the NHS was fair and promoted equality. She is famed for forming the Mary Seacole Centre for Nursing Practice which she formed as a professor of nursing, the centre was established in 1998 to battle the racial inequalities within the nursing industry, Anionwu worked at the centre until her retirement in 2007.
Within her acceptance speech, Lipa spoke about Anionwu’s importance and why she decided to dedicate part of her award to the important figure.
“I think this is such an incredible initiative to give another part of your award to someone and I’ve chosen that my Best British Female of the year is Dame Elizabeth Anionwu. She has spent her stellar nursing career fighting racial injustice. She has also spent so much time and is a strong, strong advocate for protecting frontline workers.”
Lipa then turned her attention to the controversial topic and with a rousing speech urged everyone to show their support for the cause.
“[Anionwu] has also said that there’s a massive disparity between gratitude and respect for frontline workers because it’s very good to clap for them but we need to pay them. And so I think what we should do is we should all give a massive massive round of applause and give Boris a message that we all support a fair pay rise for our frontline.”
Judging from this exciting news regarding new material, it would appear that fans can look forward to Lipa toping her record-shattering album ‘Future Nostalgia’. Fans will also get a chance to see the superstar live during her UK tour, which is due to start this September in Liverpool at the M&S Bank Arena.
