Retro Revival: A Deep-Dive into Dua Lipa's Discography

Whether you've waved goodbye to past flames to "Don't Start Now" or flew to the moon to "Levitating", it's safe to say that Dua Lipa is a pop force to be reckoned with. From interviewing fellow stars like Elton John on her podcast Service95 to becoming an honorary ambassador of Kosovo, the multi-GRAMMY-winning star has quickly cemented herself as a modern icon in multiple creative spheres from music to modelling to movies.

She has captivated the world with her signature raspy voice and empowering anthems – and has recently kicked up an online frenzy over rumours regarding her forthcoming third album, which teases '70s psychedelia (and the apparent enlistment of the one and only Kevin Parker aka the wizard behind Tame Impala).
