Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Dua Lipa continues teasing her new era by changing the thumbnails to her YouTube videos.
The 28-year-old “Dance the Night Away” superstar just wiped her entire Instagram page, and also changed her profile photo to a kaleidoscopic mysterious image.
In addition, the thumbnails of her music videos on YouTube have all been changed to fit the kaleidoscopic aesthetic of her new profile photo.
“The next record will still be pop, she says, lest her ‘fans have a meltdown.’ She doesn’t want to ‘alienate’ them, although she’s developing a new sound that may be informed less by the house and disco beats beneath songs like ‘Physical’ and ‘Hallucinate’ than by 1970s-era psychedelia,” the New York Times teased in a recent profile.
“She’s working with a smaller group of songwriting collaborators, supposedly including Kevin Parker of the Australian psych-rock band Tame Impala, a rumor she all but confirms by denying: ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about,’ she says, then looks away and laughs a little.”
Recent months have seen Lipa reveal that her next album is set to be “more mature” and also have a “disco influence“.
“What I love about that record is that it’s a pop record but it’s so eclectic,” she said. “I experimented with so many different sounds. My new record is still pop and it is really fun, but it is definitely more conceptual. I had the album title and went from that.”
Musical influences on the new record include Prince, OutKast, “old Gwen Stefani” and No Doubt, Lipa revealed. “It sounds like such a crazy clash of styles, but that’s just how I like to do things. Juxtaposition has always been a common factor in everything I do. It’s very ‘me’.”
This update comes after Lipa revealed that she had spent time in the studio with disco icon Nile Rodgers. The singer at the time told fans that her new album would contain “a lot more live instrumentation” compared to her “predominately electronic” debut effort.
