During a time when artists are postponing everything from concerts to album releases,
Dua Lipa is doing the exact opposite.
She’s releasing her album even sooner than expected!
What’s up guys?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News and don’t worry Clevver isn’t going anywhere!
We are still going to be delivering you all the celebrity news that you need to know,
we are just continuing to work from home and social distance to do our part in preventing
the spread of Coronavirus.
Alright, let’s get into it.
With having to social distance and self quarantine, artists are unable to conduct their full promotional
schedules for their albums.
So, what do these promotional schedules typically look like?
Well, most of the time when artists drop an album, they make the rounds to different radio
and TV interviews, but that obviously can’t happen because most shows are on hold.
This has led several artists like Sam Smith and Kehlani to delay the release of their
upcoming records amid this Coronavirus pandemic.
But some fans have been frustrated asking things like this fan who said quote, “i'm
tired of artists delaying their albums during this time... like we know you want to make
money and do interviews and whatever but we need music right now, more than ever.”
And Dua Lipa is giving the people exactly what they want, new music.
She isn't backing down from COVID-19, despite having to delay her spring tour.
Instead, Dua is planning to release her sophomore album, Future Nostalgia, immediately.
The original release date of April 3rd has been moved up to this Friday.
Dua went on Instagram Live and got candid and emotional with her fans about the current
state of the world and how she’s been feeling.
But when it came to her album, Dua actually couldn’t hold back her tears.
And she went on to explain that she hasn’t been sure if releasing music now would be
the right thing to do during this challenging time.
Dua went on to say that she worked hard to make this album.
This album made her feel good, want to dance and have fun.
She just wants to make people happy!
Which we could all use at this current time!
She said quote, “The most important thing and the thing that we need most at the moment
is music and we need joy and we need to be trying to see the light in these situations
and we need to all work together to make a change.”
Then, through her tears, she revealed her big news.
So while this clearly wasn’t an easy decision for her, Dua explained that she’s really
excited for us to hear it and she hopes it brings some happiness during this time
During the Instagram Live, she also said that she's going to be doing a YouTube livestream
track-by-track breakdown in honor of the album's release, which we can’t wait for!
And while she’s releasing the album early, unfortunately, Dua revealed that all show
dates for the Future Nostalgia Tour have been postponed and that new dates were still up
in the air.
But she did make it clear though that she wants to do shows in as many places as possible
as soon as possible, so there is light at the end of the tunnel for ticket holders.
And fans are just excited that Dua decided to release her music early.
One person wrote quote, “Omg Dua she's the best”
Another said quote, “YASSSSSS QUEEN OF POP IS COMING”
And some other fans mentioned that Dua’s album was leaked, but they are still ready
to support her.
One wrote quote, “Even if some of y'all heard it already you better support and stream
the hell out of it this friday !!!”
Another said quote, “I feel so sad for her...Idk why stans leak the music just so they could
listen early forgetting how much heart and soul the artist has put into them....Y'ALL
BETTER STREAM AND BUY THE SH!T OUT OF FUTURE NOSTALGIA THIS COMING FRIDAY”
And another wrote quote, “Dua Lipa's new album #FutureNostalgia will be released this
week (March 27) THE ONES WHO ALREADY LISTENED TO THE ALBUM Y'ALL BETTER SUPPORT WHEN IT
COMES OUT!
She's devastated that it got leaked, she doesn't deserve this”
And we know that we just can’t wait to dance to Dua’s album all weekend in our PJs.
We love Dua for releasing her album early and giving us something fun to look forward
to.
And in her IG Live Dua also revealed what she and her boyfriend Anwar Hadid have been
doing while social distancing in London together.
She told fans that they have been trying to make fruit jerky out of overripe bananas and
she also shared this pic of them doing face masks together.
So clearly, these two are going strong during this tough time and we love to see it!
But I want to know what you guys think about all of this.
Are you excited that Dua’s new album is coming out this Friday?
And do you think more artists should put their albums out during this time versus postponing
the release date?
