"I want Lipa is the future of pop music" is written in the US ELLE magazine, where I want is on the cover of April. In an interview with writer and editor Lauren Levy, Dua recounts some of the latest successes, plans for the future, citing also the birthplace.
"When I won the Grammy Award as Best New Artist I had an unprecedented adrenaline. When they called my name, I was blocked. I was very nervous. Lady Gaga was in the first place and gave me a kiss from afar. Oh my God, my brain was not working. But I managed to say something. I would not have spoken more fluently, but I'm proud to have greeted all my female colleagues, because that's what I definitely wanted to do, "says Dua about the victory at the Grammy Awards.
In the following I want to emphasize that for her "it is very important to work for the empowerment of women in music". According to Duas, inspiration and influence on masses is a very important part of music as art.
Of course, as it happens in most interviews, the question about its origins could not be missed.
"Kosovo has defined what I am today. We have an idea for the community. Sometimes people know your work before you. However, they have given me much love. Someone told me in an interview that I was working as an immigrant. So it's hard to take you seriously. When you are from Kosovo or Albania, a stereotype is created for you. In movies, Albanians portrayed with the mafia. We are trying to change the way people see our country. "
Fame has even negative effects. All of a sudden people and media start and write everything for you; sometimes the comments are rude, negative, and untrue. At this point, Dua says "famous or not, most people fall prey to bullying, as there are few who hide under a false identity on social networks."
"When I met Katy Perry, she told me not to read much about what she was describing to me. He advised me to disable notifications, not to read any news. Chris Martin told me to be polite to myself. At first I felt strange, but later I realized. To read everything is a form of self-mistreatment. I do not have to allow the thoughts of others to define the way I see myself. "
The upcoming album of Duas is expected to be a mix of some currents.
"I hope to release the album at the end of this year or early next year. I have not yet placed the list of songs that it will contain. I hope everyone will sing. One of the reasons why I do music is the lesson; make music in the hope that someone else feels the same. "
