Over the last year, Dua Lipa has proven herself not only as a still-rising global star, but one who could dominate in what would be considered an off-cycle year for most pop artists, after releasing her sophomore album in March 2020. Lipa started the year out stronger than ever, still reeling from the success of the glitzy, disco-inspired Future Nostalgia and its hit singles (“Don’t Start Now,” “Physical,” and “Break My Heart”), which made her a pop titan in 2020. It might have seemed like the Future Nostalgia era was beginning to go stale nearly a year after the album dropped, but thanks to Lipa’s staggering star power, she was able to keep herself front and center throughout 2021.
在过去的一年里,Dua Lipa在2020年3月发行了她的大二专辑后,不仅证明了自己是一个仍在崛起的全球明星,而且在对大多数流行艺术家来说被视为非周期的一年里,她可能占据主导地位。Lipa在开始新的一年比以往任何时候都强大,仍然因炫目了、受迪斯科启发的未来怀旧及其热门单曲(“现在不开始”、“物理”和“打破我的心”)的成功而摇摇欲坠,这使她在2020年成为流行巨头。在专辑发行近一年后,未来怀旧时代似乎开始过时,但多亏了Lipa惊人的明星力量,她在整个2021年都能够保持领先地位和中心地位。
