Dua Lipa is currently “putting the finishing touches” on her third studio album

Dua Lipa is currently “putting the finishing touches” on her third studio album.

Her album is being described as her most “personal” and will reportedly include “HUGE collaborations”. 

She hopes to release the album before the end of the year. The 27-year-old singer is expected to be “a lot more revealing in her lyrics” on her next record, and she is said to have written on every song on the album.

A music insider told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Dua’s third album is really personal to her and she has been hands on at every turn.

“She has spent hundreds of hours in the studio and has written on every song – that is really important to her.

“As one of the biggest names in pop music, all of the most talented writers and artists have been vying to work with her.

“Dua has been very clear about her direction in keeping it upbeat and fun, but she will be a lot more revealing in her lyrics.”

It’s not yet known exactly when Dua will drop her new album, but she is expected to release “at least some new music” before 2023 is out.

The insider added: “The label are really excited about it and are planning a lengthy campaign on a whole new scale to maximise the music, so its release date is up in the air – especially until it is completed.

“But the plan is for fans to hear at least some new music from the record by the end of the year.”The 27-year-old singer is expected to be “a lot more revealing in her lyrics” on her next record, and she is said to have written on every song on the album.

Dua hopes to release new music before the end of 2023 and her record company bosses are desperately trying to ensure recordings for the highly-anticipated LP are secure after a song she previously worked on with Pharrell Williams was leaked.

A music insider told The Sun: ‘Dua’s third album is really personal to her and she has been hands on at every turn.

She has spent hundreds of hours in the studio and has written on every song — that is really important to her.

The source also hinted at big collaborations in the album as ‘talented artists’ have been asking to work with her.

Speaking last month to the publication, Dua said: ‘It has a lyrical theme, more so than sonically.

‘There’s still a sonic element as you go through it, it’s still pop. I still want to dance and do another crazy tour.

‘It’s a bit more mature [than Future Nostalgia] I think in terms of the experiences.’

Future Nostalgia in March 2021 won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album and its lead single Don’t Start Now attained critical success, including Grammy noms for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.

Dua recently came to the end of her mammoth Future Nostalgia tour after ten months of travelling the world.

Her company Dua Lipa Limited now has £21.6 million tucked away — up from £17.5 million the previous year.

Bearing in mind that another of her companies has assets of £11.6 million, it suggests her new manager is performing satisfactorily.

Just as well: he’s the songstress’s father, Dukagjin Lipa.

In February it was revealed that Dua split from the management company that helped turn her into a global sensation, following a disagreement over earnings.

The singer, who signed for London-based Tap Management in 2013 while working as a cocktail bar waitress, stunned its bosses when she said she no longer wanted them to represent her.

Music industry sources said at the time her departure was linked to the size of the cut she received from recording and commercial deals negotiated on her behalf by Tap Management.

Miss Lipa, a three-times Grammy award winner, is signed to Warner Music and has lucrative deals with firms including Evian, Yves Saint Laurent and Versace. She also has social-media deals to promote the Truly alcoholic drink.
