Grab your November magazines and join myself, Ashley, and Erika for our monthly link up Glossies Made Me Do It!
For this month, I grabbed the People Magazine for the week of November 6th (hopefully you’ll be able to find this in stores; I never know when they decide to switch over to a new week). Inside, there was a mini interview with English singer and songwriter, Dua Lipa. I believe I first came across Dua Lipa while browsing songs on iTunes, and I’d wanted to purchase her album for awhile. When I read the interview with her in People Magazine, I knew this was the perfect time to finally go ahead and buy her music and I have to say…I’m so glad I did! On iTunes, you can buy her regular album for $7.99 and her deluxe album for $11.99 (I went with the deluxe so the price is still so amazing!)
Since the interview mentions her song with Coldplay’s Chris Martin, I suppose I’ll start there. The song “Homesick” is a slower one, but very beautiful. I think this one will appeal to many. Two songs that are more upbeat, fun, and dare I say, sassy, are “Blow Your Mind (Mwah)” and “New Rules.” These are sure to be on repeat for me! Honestly, though, I think I’d be happy listening to almost any song on this album over and over. It’s a great mix of belt your heart out, dance fever, and more slower, emotional songs.
There are two explicit songs – “Blow Your Mind (Mwah)” that I mentioned above and “IDGAF” which is another that I love. If you’re getting over an ex, blast this song up, ladies and gents! And in case you aren’t aware of what those initials mean, IDGAF = I Don’t Give a F*CK.
Glossies Made Me Do It- Buy Dua Lipa's debut album! #ontheblog #dualipa Click To TweetAll in all, a really great debut album. I’m sure we’ll all be hearing a lot more from Dua Lipa.

I hadn’t heard of this! Checking it out now!
Oh what a great song. Thanks for sharing.
I haven’t heard of her yet, but I’m always looking for new music so I will definitely check this out!
Not a singer I’d heard of but then again I’m not into glossies much preferring mags with true life stories no matter how ludicrous they might be. I like the song though, though perhaps not enough to buy the CD.
I’ve been in a music rut lately, so I’ll have to see if my library has this on their streaming site!
Hopefully they do!!
I have not heard of her until today, not my usual form of music but I think I’ll check her songs out anyway. Glad you enjoy them 😀
What a great song!
I like it! My 16 year old made me turn it up.Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’ll have to check out her other songs – especially IDGAF because I like angry music lol

I’m really bad at defining songs by their names these days so I had to look up whether or not I’d ever heard Homesick before, haha. I hadn’t heard of Dua Lipa before, but it’s a gorgeous song! *-* I’m definitely looking forward to hearing more!
It’s such a pretty song, I agree! I hope you like her other music too.
I haven’t heard of her, but I usually listen to the music on Alexa during the day while I’m working on stuff… going to check her out tomorrow!
