Dua Lipa (LP)

"Describing her own music as 'dark pop', Dua brings the downhearted to the dancefloor throughout this eponymous record. Recently while speaking to the New York Times she commented "heartbreak makes good stories, so sometimes, as much as heartbreak sucks, it makes for good writing," and channelled a similar pain into her first breakout hit 'Hotter Than Hell'. Instead of writing about how she was mistreated, Dua flips perspective and writes from a place of strength combining simmering attitude of idols Rihanna and Christina Aguilera with the sultry growl of Spears' 'Gimme More'."
