(ESP-ENG) Dua Lipa - Synonym of Evolution.

Hello friends, good vibes to all.

In music, for many singers/artists, once they reach a certain level of notoriety or fame, it becomes easier to simply keep surfing the wave, as they would say colloquially, than to seek to go a little further, to be better, to evolve. Because of course, in their mentality is the fact that if what I am doing is working for me, why should I change it? - And that has a certain logic to it, but it doesn't apply to everyone. Dua Lipa when she started to be known, when her name started to sound I would dare to say that it was not so much for her music but for another factor, her dancing. This woman was the object of ridicule, jokes and endless comments that had to do with the way she moved on stage. She took matters into her own hands and the leap she made was monumental, both in choreography and music.

- New Rules

The first example I want to use is New Rules, a song that is about 6 years old since it was released. I think this is one of her most commercial songs and one of those that made her strongly known, but if we look at the performance with a magnifying glass we will realize what we have been talking about. Dua Lipa is currently an artist that is characterized by everything she can do on stage, she is really capable of attracting the attention of an entire venue; if you see this video you will realize that her presence, what she projects, is almost null. And this is not to mention that the way she dances is quite precarious compared to what we are used to nowadays. In the pool part she barely moves, it's like seeing a totally different person than she is today. That's why when I talk about evolution you have to take into account all the aspects that make an artist. I can't imagine what he must have had to do to stop looking like he does in this video. The lyrics are the least but the sound also changed, there is something that surprises me and is the influence of her with certain things of K-POP, well, her and the whole movement of pop anglo the truth, but Dua Lipa is very noticeable. Anyway, a before and after.

- Love Again

We move a few years after that New Rules track to land with a song that in sound is very different but in its video is even more so. Do the exercise and watch both videos simultaneously and you will realize the giant leap between the two Dua Lipa. In Love Again we see how from the beginning she is seen with more strength and presence, I guess it will be a matter of security and confidence. Yes, the choreography is not so elaborate or anything but it is true that if we compare it with the previous one there is much more movement but it was already beginning to see what direction things were going in. Maybe many will think that this is not so important or why we are talking about it but honestly for me it is because it denotes the commitment that can be behind an artist with always wanting to improve and because although it may seem that it has nothing to do with the quality increases considerably; an artist to be more integral in all aspects will be much more enjoyable to see and hear. This song I think it was 3 or 4 years after New Rules, Dua Lipa was already someone in music, and yet I think she understood everything and sought to give a twist to what she was doing. This song is famous of her but it's not the most famous but for me I think it was one of those springboards that took her to another level.

- Training Season / Houdini (Live at The GRAMMYs 2024)

To finish off, I bring you one of his last performances at the Grammys, which for me would be the perfect closing of this publication. I am a person who listens to all kinds of music, I believe that being able to enjoy all styles and genres makes us a little more "critical" and with a certain ability to realize when an artist has improved considerably from one moment to another. Dua Lipa is one of the top artists that exist today in the music scene and she has achieved this thanks to the evolution that I have been talking about, not staying in the comfort of knowing that whatever she does she will be listened to. Being able to realize that as time goes by you have to adapt and go jumping is one of the things that very few singers do, fortunately Dua Lipa understood it and that is why she is what she is today. This performance is a very complete one because in addition to singing quite well she achieves a rounded performance on stage and I say again, watch this artist and then go to the first video. The reality is that I value very much when an artist or group/band evolves for the good and for the good show. Will she have a ceiling? - I think that today that can not be known, the bar is already very high, we will have to see how she responds to that in the future.

Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it.
¡A hug to everyone, we'll hear you in the next one!
