#DuaLipa #Interview #AppleMusic
This, is her realest interview to date. She’s always quite private, I feel like this sit down allowed her to be honest, self aware, and comfortable. Watching her journey since the beginning has been remarkable. It’s only UP from here.
What a difference. Miss TS can't stand criticism and uses it for personal revenge and "karma". An immature and childish reaction. Dua says she doesn't take criticism as revenge. She listens, improves and proves with her work the opposite. A mature, healthy, positive and chill attitude. The maturity of someone of 28 and someone of 34. Dua's attitude is the best example for youngs not the attitude of the other singer that thousands of her little fans are sadly learning.
i went to her listening party last week and it felt JUST LIKE THIS!! she is so well-spoken and chill!! the album is AMAZING!!!!
I CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR IT! My excitement is crazy… it feels like Christmas Eve!
Was that held in NYC?
omgg luckyyy
Grammy winner : LOADING ..
Nope
@@mbarkaboha2783 yes, mate. she's going too, I freaking visualize it.
Come here a year later and you'll see that this album won't win her any Grammys. I actually like her music but this album is just not it mate!
@@mbarkaboha2783it will probably get a Dance category win. That’s for sure.
She about to get the pop album of the year again, & i'm here for it
YASSSSSSS
Why hasn’t she collabed with tay swizzle
Just listened. Unfortunately not
just listened. fortunaly YES
lol no
she got the name radical optimism from a podcast she attended 4 years ago „are we on air“ episode 40 with dua lipa at minute 12-15. she even said she‘s gonna use that
. etc- “ grt usecase” spmmd^
Thanks so much for sharing this! Just finished listening to it now and it was really good. Great episode to understand what are Dua Lipa's musical influences and go-to songs. 😊🎧
Seeing Dua getting emotional while talking about her music, her growth, the process and her maturity really touched me. Not only as a fan, but also in a personal way, I feel that I've also grown up with her and her songs, which were always there for me, always accompanied me during the journey, to cheer me up, but also made me feel a lot stronger and confident.
I'm so proud of her and I really can't wait to hear the album... It feels like I'm about to receive a birthday present, even though it's not my birthday.
Thank you so much, Dua. I really can't wait to see you (again), in Lisbon, this summer. ♥
It feels like this to me too, I exactly have the sames impressions ❤️
Oh, that scribble was a bunch of dirty words and thoughts. I bet I'm right too.❤❤❤
I'm so intrigued by the song ' These Walls '.
I'm absolutely blown away at the level of maturity, insight, and depth Dua shows us in this interview. This is a whole other side of her I've never seen before, and it's amazing 🤯
After watching this interview, I'm even more excited for this album. I love how she took the criticism and made sure that she becomes one of the big names in the music industry. She's such a pop star and I can't wait to listen to this album.
She's a real superstar of our generation
Reducing people to their stardom is so shallow
I am
@@JeiElRaiwhat
Her honesty, vulnerability, and emotional maturity is what makes Dua an amazingly beautiful human. Absolutely, love her!
dua lipa has always been a revolutionary singer
Dua Lipa is with out a doubt one of the most extraordinary pop music artists in the world , there is always something unique about the songs she writes which has appeal from her early days all the way up til now where her creativity has exceeded todays trends in music ..
I was honestly really shocked & suprised when Dua Lipa blew up worldwide after the release of "New Rules". I'm so used to the Queens of dance pop coming from the United States. Very proud as a guy from the U.K that Dua a U.K artist is becoming the new Queen of pop for a whole new generation.
There have been plenty from the UK who've been perhaps underrated abroad, yet still legendary and highly influential to anyone paying attention. Kate Bush, Annie Lennox, Sade and Cathy Dennis are but a handful that quickly come to mind...
TS, Beyoncé, Duo Lipa and Ariana Grande have released albums so close to each other. Great year for Pop 2024.
when it comes to interviews Zane is the best
It's coz he's Kiwi 🇳🇿😉👌💯
Concur.
He's annoying, talks too much...
Zane looks rather bored in this interview . Perhaps his health is not good …
Gosh 56 minutes to short...I could just talk and talk for hrs with her....mature intelligent woman ...exactly knowing what she wants...at the same time fun ...living life lightweight...being an inspiration for so many of us....goodluck on this new era....and let RADICAL OPTIMISM take the world...💖
I think that the general public has a huge misconception towards Dua Lipa. People believe she's one of those artists crafted by a record company. that she has no creative control or intelligence to write a song. This woman is a fukcing genius and we need to make sure the GP takes her more seriously because she REALLY DOES her music. SHE IS AWARE of the creative process and SHE REALLY MAKES decisions about her music. Go DUA!! can't wait for RADICAL OPTIMISM AT NIGHT !
Dua Lipa is so talented!!!
She’s not just a singer, She’s clever
You can tell She reads a lot
Mature Pop Artist
I absolutely love Zane's interviews,the way he just lets the person be open and vulnerable throughout the conversation.Interesting questions and viewpoints that also gives us food for thought.
Great interview. We got a lot more from it than from a lot of past interviews promoting the album, in which they basically just kept asking her the same questions and she kept giving the same answers. Here it looks like Zane really prepared and took the conversation to more unusual places
Great role model. You can see how much Glastonbury means to her, she almost couldn’t keep her emotions in. It’ll be a magical moment for her. It’s her Super Bowl.
she's such a class act i love her
She's a real superstar
Futute Nostalgia already felt so professional and grown up, but now, i can see that fn was a stage of maturing and radical optimism has dunked from that fountain!
The amount of thought and work that has gone into this is amazing. I’m sure the album will be amazing!!! I just hope people are able to recognise it and truly appreciate this work of art!!!
I HOPE IT'S A GOOD ALBUM I NEED IT TO BE A GOOD ALBUM PLEASE
It's Dua. It will be ❤
She so mature as an artist for someone whose so new to it. Atleast professionally. U can tell she deeply cares about it
She is the definition of pop music! Her voice is golden and she is one of the most beautifull artist out there!
one of the best pop girlies out here rn
I’m so excited for the album!! Please stream everyone ❤❤❤
I’m pretty sure the 11 songs are all gonna be fire, Dua prioritizes quality over quantity
She's aspiration for millions
Radical Optimism is such a great vibe and album title 🩵
Radical Optimism is so good. Perfect album to start off the summer with ⛱️ obsessed. Dua deserves all the love❤
I’m only 10 minutes into this and it is so fabulous, so real and honest. What a great interviewer as well, he does and incredible job of listening and providing a safe space, truly excellent… and the album is a total bop as well ❤
Brilliant conversation between two highly gifted and intelligent people. Zane's interviews are always great - this one is exceptional. I love that Dua takes ownership of her work and her catalogue. Also the attitude to online activity is healthy - showing the younger generation there is life beyond social media. That she writes her lyrics long hand in a notebook and does so many diverse things such as Service 95. 💖💖💖
This album is going to break records. Calling it rn. Dua is one of the greatest artists of all time ❤
I love her new album
Dua Lipa has brought my love of music to the present. Before Dua, I would only listen to 60's, 70's and 80's. This young lady's genius and charisma has catapulted my listening forward about 34 years. Thanks Dua. You are amazing and it would be great see you perform in concert one day.😊
Girl I’m 20 mins in and hope they talk more about the production of the album
That's not what Zane really does, and it's usually saved for after a release. By later summer we can probably expect a lot of behind the scenes footage, commentary, and extensive interviews with everyone involved particularly Dua and Kevin. TBH after listening to so many interviews with Dua, I'm really looking forward to hearing from Kevin.
it's 19 minutes for me in and all they talk about is the production of it. what you mean?
I think they mean “production” in the technical sense (instrumentation, sampling, mastering, technique, etc)
Which yeah is not discussed much here , certainly not in the first 20min
@@alechemy @alechemy if we look at album rollouts in general recently, we can see that artists, labels and press are taking fuller advantage of the potential of RUclips and such to scratch the itch that an increasing audience has had for said technical stuff... But indeed it's not usually until after the project is fully, or at least mostly, rolled out. Presumably this is because the general public may have limited interest in all that, so it doesn't serve well to generate hype leading up to the release. Rather after the project is released, those who are into all this stuff will get increasingly curious about it just in time for some content on it.
See how Rolling Stone (or was it Variety? I don't really remember or care much lol) released a deep dive with Dua and Mark in studio, on the making of Dance the Night. Regardless of when they may have shot the piece, they released it specifically after some time, when the song and movie had generated a lot of buzz so that the video could maximize engagement.
With these niche sort of things, the whole music industry is aware we dig this stuff and we can consistently look forward to all kinds of insight coming from midsummer through the end of the year.
Undoubtedly music press around the world will be knocking down Kevin's door for commentary. Hopefully we'll hear everyone's perspective! I'd love to see some fuller discussion with him and Dua just like they did with Mark previously, on at least a few tracks from the LP.
We can be confident we'll get at least some mix of BTS footage and exclusive interviews in the coming months.
@@alechemyDua is not in charge of the production, only of the lyrics and some ideas. You need find the producer to talk about the technical aspects, musicianship and instrumentation. In this case Kevin Parker and Danny L Harle the producers of this album. Like Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff, Ariana Grande and Max Martin, Biilie Ellish and her brother. Remember the majority of pop divas aren't musicians only songwriters and colaborate with ideas nothing more. Their main focus is the image and their voices to sell. In the background are the producers who are musicians and are in charge of the technical aspect. I'm sure that Dua dk about the samplers, intruments, software, etc, etc that was used in this album production only Kevin and Danny so the interview is focus in her thoughts about the album, ideas for songs and specially her like the image of a pop diva to sell. Maybe in the future Kevin could give a interview talking about his production in this album like Finneas does with Billie's albums.
I don't think Radical Optimism is her best album yet, but just because how awesome and polished Future Nostalgia was. Still that says a lot about how great she is as an artist
Such a fun journey these last 8 years seeing her grow into the classy star she is. Good for you Dua!
I love her! She’s such a sweetheart. And natural born star!
What a great interview. Zane asked all of the right questions to allow Dua to express herself as the amazingly inspirational person I think that she is.
She's such an amazing inspiration as a musician myself
Can't wait to hear all the songs ....they have so much essence I feel....DUA I hug you with all my 💖....soooo ready !!!....🎶💃🌊
This hair color suits her so much
I really appreciate Dua's positivity. Especially in the world we are living in today. We need more of her.
album of the year
Love how present and conscious she looks
I love the maturity of this album. The song Maria, where she thanks the woman who helped shaped her partner. We tend to blame the past partners for damage but forget their impact that had a positive impact.
a truly real pop star, I love how Dua does her work with such truly, realness and realling marking her time here.
god i hope dua’s glastonbury set is at least 120 minutes long.
45 mins for radical optimism
40 mins for future nostalgia
25 mins for dl1 and other singles/collabs
10 mins for crowd interaction/speeches.
2 hours for a potentially incredible headlining slot at the most important festival in the country.
Such fresh breath of new air, mature yet so young only. Honest something we don't know interview
She is a goddess. Her creativity has brought so much joy and meaning to the world. Thank you, Dua… AND BRING ON RADICAL OPTIMISM! ✨
I absolutely love Dua a lot I’m a huge fan of her’s I absolutely love her music I listen to her all the time me and her were both born in 1995 I got her new album the first day at target she is the best I want her to win a Grammy and pop album of the year for radical optimism
From the very beginning, I love and appreciate how sincere you are, Dua. Thank you for continuing to be yourself and helping me to better feel and express the emotions in me. Wish you all the best of luck with what's coming next! Sending you love! Looking forward to seeing you in Istanbul.
Well said❤
She is such hard working Artist.
I am proud of her
Respect.
🌹💐❤️🔥👍

Grandmadonna disagrees and is angry right now.
Omg really?!? Yey
girl-- it comes out tonight not a week from now don’t mislead people
I love the fact that she has gone so far in her journey of personal development as a person ❤
The notebook being a special guest in this interview was such a nice touch. You can tell this album has that personal touch with Dua having a heavy hand in the writing process
The fact that she is still so young and so soft spoken.. inspiring. You can tell she is a reader for sure.
i really want this album to get number one on billbord and bb200 it seems like this album is so personal to her the way she taljs about it eith such passion and love please all the US loves lets make it her first one
Zane is so excited he had to stop himself a few times, Dua is so chill, I absolutely love this
She really is a true Popstar, so proud of her! 😊
Dua, we can wait to see you again in Brazil 🇧🇷❤
One thing abt Zane, is he’s going to facilitate an incredible conversation! Dua’s such a game changer, and she’s still rising. Loved learning more abt her, TYSM
Good listening to you speak Dua. Thanks Zane Lowe for getting all this out. Love Kevin
another hour interview - thank GOD
My favourite these days!
I'm so proud of her 😭♥️
thank you for the album. sending love
She’s amazing and she inspires me to write more songs!
DUA IS SO BEAUTIFUL!
Dua is a tiger on stage and so reflective and pensive in interviews. She does seem rather real in this interview, especially by the way she wasn’t pronouncing her “T”s and other nuances. She gives off the feeling of being secure in what she’s achieved thus far, and is not full of herself, almost as if she knows coming up with hit after hit may not last forever, so rather than dwell on when that day may come, it’s far better to be Radically Optimistic. She says doing this for a living has helped her mature early. I also get a sense that she’s incredibly well grounded, that her parents instilled in her that getting to the top, and staying there, is hard work. Several times she uses words like “in this job”, or “what I do for a living”, rather than ‘profession’, which says a lot about her perspective and work ethic. It’s also worth mentioning, that all the extremely capable people I know, all use a notebook, rather than their phone, to organize their day and thoughts. Another important thing she said is that you need to write bad music before your good music comes out. Many people say that is the path to success. I wrote this at the 15 min mark, and later she talked about her parents.
Dua Lipa's entire discography is in the top 10 of the uk albums chart this week...
DUA LOOKS GREAT WITH RED HAIR!
"i felt like i wanted to keep something for myself" somebody try teach this to taylor swift

My British queen 👑

Biggest pop artist out there❤
Grandmadonna disagrees and is angry right now .
DUA ROCKIN THE RED HAIR!
dua queen of pop
I genuinely love you so much Dua, your words got me emotional! 🩵 such a beautiful interview
Really excited for this album!
Happy for You is just sooooo good. I cried everytime I listened to it this past month. Emotionally mature and deep and anyone in relationship where you can connect with the lyrics is just gut wrenchingly beautiful and emotional. Love love love this new Dua era
She speaks about Radical Optimism being about emotional maturity and finding the positive in anything no matter what is going on. But I think this is quite a short sighted and privileged understanding of life's challenges. I agree with her, that emotional maturity may improve the way in which you deal with a break up, changes in friendship groups, or overcoming challenges in life. But this idea of finding the positive in everything and "everything is meant to be" ignores the deeper, darker more challenging aspects of pain, grief and sorrow. Can you find the positive in losing a parent, sibling or child unexpectedly? Can you find the optimism in a childs terminal cancer diagnosis, or witnessing someone you love go through unbearable suffering. This level of pain cannot be met with a search for the positive or optimism, but rather an acknowledgement and eventual acceptance of the pain and heartache inherit in being alive. I find it hard to connect with people talking about overcoming pain and sorrow by finding the positive in everything, when sometimes it feels that they don't know the depths of pain people can experience, and a more so attempting to run away from the more difficult truths we may one day all face. God bless x
She's definitely referenced Kylie Minogue alot.... 💯👌😉👠
THE GOAT OF POP LOVE YOU FOREVERRRR
She's queen 👑
Grandmadonna disagrees and is angry right now.
my fav lyrics “can it just keep getting better can we keep falling forever”
Honesty and truth are always high valued from the audience no matter what
