1
I think there's just this massive stigma around pop music overall, and especially as a female artist to be taken seriously,
2
unless you're behind a piano or a guitar.
3
Then if you're just making songs that feel good, that have the aim to make you feel positive, make you feel good, that they don't have depth.
4
Dua Lipa.
5
Nice to meet you.
6
So nice to meet you, Tom.
7
How are you doing?
8
I'm all right.
9
Congratulations on the record.
10
I really love it.
11
Thank you so much.
12
Thank you.
13
I'm so happy for it to finally be coming out into the world.
14
I think I was just saying to you before we turned the microphones on that it's like a weird, cool, psychedelic dance record.
15
Oh, cool.
16
I mean, that's what I...
17
I wanted it to have that real freedom that I feel like psychedelia has.
18
and I feel like um I don't think that the
19
when I think about like psychedelic music I think about like the summer of love yeah
20
and I feel like we spent two years of our life kind of indoors during the pandemic collectively um
21
and we're all kind of like figuring out the new normal and it It feels like now we've kind of, we're just back in the swing of things.
22
And so for this record to come out, it feels like a real kind of free flowing moment for that time,
23
for that kind of radical optimism within all the madness, so.
24
Well, it's like speaking of the Summer Lovey.
25
I mean, we're in Jimi Hendrix's studio, so that's pretty psychedelic.
26
Yeah, the hub of it.
27
I was listening to this interview with Caroline Aylin, who's one of your most close collaborators.
28
And she had a line that I found really interesting about you.
29
And she said, every studio session with Dua starts with the truth.
30
So what were the truths or the truth that you were exploring on this record?
31
I guess, you know, my really close friendship with Caroline over the years, we've worked on all three of my albums now together,
32
has just allowed this sense of closeness that I can go into a room
33
and just be myself and talk about things that are happening in my life.
34
And I know that together we can write songs that allow me to tell my story,
35
but also offer me a kind of sense of protection in a way that I can write songs from my experience,
36
but I can also mask them in mysticism.
37
And whether it's Houdini or it's illusion or whatever way that I want to describe it,
38
that also gives me like a safety net on how I want to tell my stories.
39
And it always starts with the truth because it's always like a dear diary.
40
I come into the studio and especially this album,
41
it was just a fun year of me just coming in every day into the studio and being like, well, this happened last night and
42
so let's write about it let's talk about like a story like oh we went out last night
43
and then this happened this happened it was really was really how it was
44
and um yeah a lot of the stories just kind of stemmed from um
45
yeah personal relationships things that were going on like ups and downs and good dates and bad ones and uh Yeah,
46
it's like girl chat, you know, sitting down and just like putting it all down onto paper.
47
What's Houdini about?
48
So Houdini is about, I guess, just really like knowing your worth.
49
It's like finally coming to a place of being like, if you're good enough, I'll stay.
50
And if you're not, I know when it's time for me to leave.
51
Like I know when a situation is good for me or not.
52
And that was probably something I wasn't able to do as well previously in my life.
53
What's that?
54
When I was writing, knowing when to like leave.
55
Like a bad and negative relationship or something, those are things that I had to learn through.
56
I stuck it out.
57
My first ever relationship, I stayed in for way longer than I should have done
58
because I felt like that was the way that things were supposed to be.
59
Until I was like, wait a second, this person doesn't make me feel good or isn't very nice to me, isn't kind to me, puts me down,
60
says things that make me feel uncomfortable, whatever it is.
61
You just kind of learn from all those experiences.
62
And I'm at a place now where I just won't stand for that, not even for a second.
63
And Houdini is a very strong song of like, catch me or I'm leaving, kind of thing.
64
You said something in your first answer that I'm sort of stuck on.
65
Mm.
66
I thought so.
67
One per interview, Dua do it.
68
You said, it allows me to tell my story and speak openly while still offering me protection.
69
Protection from what?
70
I think when you have, like for me, like my life is so public, whether I like it or not.
71
Yeah.
72
So whether that's me walking down the street or where I am
73
or what I'm doing there is so much of myself
74
that I offer up anyway there's also so much of myself
75
that I've made peace with the fact that
76
so many people have an insight into my life I've also made peace with the fact
77
that people are going to make up scenarios about me
78
or they're going to believe what they want to believe about me
79
and I've also allowed myself to be okay with
80
so many of those things because I get to do what I love every single day
81
and that's make music and be on stage and perform
82
and travel the world so those are the sacrifices that i've made
83
when i write my songs that's my therapy how i choose
84
to dress them up that's my therapy how i you know i can talk about my
85
personal experiences but i don't have to necessarily like say the name yeah that that can be for me and
86
the person who maybe hears it and will know it's about them but i don't have to go and like
87
paint a very like, I don't have to put someone on blast in order for me to get my like, catharsis in a way.
88
Yeah, I know what you mean.
89
I never considered that.
90
I was thinking just then about records that were made here, you know, and in the 60s and 70s, like Stevie Wonder records and Jimi Hendrix records,
91
or, and I don't know if I ever, I don't know
92
if back then people were going like oh well there was
93
no like reddit message board to talk about who you make
94
me feel like a natural woman is about yeah you know
95
yeah that's all that's a whole different world for you it's yeah for sure
96
and and also you know the the sacrifices maybe
97
that I've chosen to make about my public life don't necessarily
98
represent the same for maybe someone who I'm writing the song
99
about yeah no yeah They might not be a public person like I am.
100
So regardless of whatever the situation is, it's like you hold certain details back, but still at the same time putting enough out there
101
that I feel like I'm telling my story in the way that I want it to be heard.
102
She's good on you for knowing that.
103
A lot of people don't know that early on.
104
A lot of people figure that out later and kind of look back and go like, oh, I wish I hadn't or I wish I hadn't.
105
Like it feels like right away you sort of knew where
106
you wanted to draw the line about how much people knew about you and how much people knew your art?
107
Um... Or am I wrong?
108
No, I just, I think it just came very, like, naturally to me.
109
Yeah, and I guess that's like the fun part about writing a song.
110
It's like you're telling your story, but you can dress it up how you like.
111
Where did radical optimism come from?
112
Radical optimism was a term that was, I guess now I like to think of it as gifted to me by a friend of mine.
113
We were having a conversation for his podcast and he goes, he's like, you know, like a couple of my friends came up to me and they were just like, you know what we need in the world is radical optimism.
114
And I was like, wow, a radical optimism.
115
What an incredible, I guess,
116
like what an incredible phrase when you put two words together
117
and you get that juxtaposition between something that I guess in a way it's like being like violently happy in a way.
118
You know, it's like when things aren't going well, how do you make yourself feel better?
119
How do you roll with the punches?
120
How do you pick yourself back up when things aren't working out?
121
How do you look at the positive side of things?
122
How do you go?
123
Okay, in every experience, there's something to learn from it.
124
and I love to think about hindsight.
125
That's been something that I've gone back on a lot.
126
What do you mean by that?
127
How do you feel?
128
Like it's so often that when like a month later down the line, you look back on something and you're like,
129
man, I was freaking out over nothing or that felt like such a big deal to me at the time.
130
And now looking in hindsight, you know, everything kind of figures itself out.
131
And I think it's...
132
It's that.
133
It's taking everything with a pinch of salt and being like, you know what, everything's going to be fine.
134
Yesterday I was having a conversation with a friend of mine and he said something that helps him when he's getting overwhelmed.
135
It was something that someone said to him very early on when he's getting overwhelmed is, it's okay, this day has to end too, you know, in some way.
136
So you make the most of whatever's happening today.
137
But it's going to be gone soon at some point.
138
And sometimes when things are so intense and so overwhelming and you're like, this is like the worst day of my life.
139
Like sometimes before I go to bed, I go, OK, I never have to live through that day ever again.
140
And tomorrow I'll just figure it out some other way, whatever happens.
141
But today that's done.
142
I'll close my eyes.
143
I'll go to sleep.
144
It's over, you know, and you just figure it out.
145
There's a choice, though, isn't it?
146
I read, I don't know, have you ever read Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach?
147
No. Oh, no. But I have read another book by her.
148
Yeah.
149
Radical Compassion, maybe?
150
Maybe with a bunch of incredible like case studies and she's she's amazing.
151
Yeah.
152
I'm a meditator.
153
Are you a meditator?
154
So so I do like guided meditation.
155
I find that like the easiest, but I love to do them in the morning and in the evening.
156
And that gives me just some time for myself, for sure, which is important.
157
But radical, not to paraphrase her,
158
but radical acceptance is about people think it's about accepting whatever's going to happen to you no matter what, you know, like, oh, you know,
159
no matter what happens, I'm just going to accept it and just try to move on my life.
160
It's actually, in my opinion, about offering compassion to yourself.
161
That like when things are hard, when things are tough, or when you go through a breakup or someone's awful to you or there's something going on,
162
offering compassion to yourself as you move through it, except not hoping that things will change, but accepting that things will not change in that moment,
163
that this did happen to you, and offering yourself compassion at the same time.
164
So I guess when I heard radical optimism in your album title, So what it sounded like to me was a choice
165
that as the world is painful or as I go through painful things, whether they be interpersonally in my relationships or something I see in the news,
166
I choose compassionately for myself to remain optimistic.
167
Totally.
168
One thousand percent.
169
I feel like I've consistently done that in life and in my music.
170
And I've just always felt like I always want to put an optimistic spin on things.
171
I always see the music as like a mantra.
172
I want to say good things.
173
I feel like the more I say things, the more they come true.
174
So if I'm going to sing it over and over, it's like a manifestation.
175
Yeah.
176
Something's going to happen so I gotta be careful what I say.
177
And so I like to think of things in that way.
178
Like I love for them to have a positive spin
179
if I'm gonna sing them for a long time
180
because I'm manifesting these words
181
and I'm gonna be singing them to a lot of people who are gonna be singing them back to me.
182
Let's put some good shit out into the world.
183
Yeah, fair enough.
184
It reminds me, what's that thing you said at the Grammys?
185
I used to think I had to write sad songs for my music to matter music to matter was
186
that we said I said something along those lines of I
187
just I think there's just this massive stigma around pop music overall
188
and especially as a female artist to be taken seriously unless you're behind a piano or a guitar
189
that then if you're just making songs that feel good
190
that have the aim to make you feel positive make you feel good
191
that they don't have depth which I don't And I don't want to subscribe to that at all,
192
because I feel like sometimes writing things that are optimistic, that are happy, that do have depth, is maybe harder.
193
Because a sad feeling is much easier to tap into.
194
It's almost like a bad Twitter comment.
195
It will linger in your mind way longer than somebody being nice to you for a moment.
196
So sometimes a sadder, harder feeling is much easier to tap into rather than...
197
I feel good and I want to grasp that energy in some way.
198
But I should say, I mean, this record is not all rainbows and sunshine and...
199
No. Pink pens.
200
I don't know why that came to mind.
201
I don't know about pink pens.
202
You know about pink pens where they have the little feather on the top?
203
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
204
I hate to break it.
205
Here's my review of your record.
206
It's not all pink pens, Dua.
207
When you're writing it, when you're going through...
208
You're writing about what you need as someone to love you.
209
You're writing about what you will accept and what you won't accept in a relationship.
210
If you drill down to these poppy, dancey, beautiful, groovy...
211
Dance crying records.
212
Yeah, dance crying.
213
There's something there, you know?
214
Yeah, I mean, they're all like, first of all, yeah, from the initial thing that we started talking about,
215
it's like the truth, like the underlying honest things about me and who I am.
216
And even songs that some people see as sad, which is like Happy For You or These Walls,
217
I don't see at all like happy for you feels like
218
a full 180 maturing of being able to see somebody um
219
do well you know be good and happy and you to feel
220
that for them as well and to want that for them
221
and i think that's a really um beautiful and respectful thing to come out of a relationship You know,
222
it doesn't work out for you, but it's how amazing to be able to see someone and be like, yeah, you deserve that.
223
That's amazing.
224
In a non-passive aggressive way.
225
Yeah, that's amazing.
226
Oh, I'm so happy for you.
227
Oh yeah, that's great.
228
I think you can also read the lyrics without hearing the song and be like, this sounds passive aggressive.
229
Well, I wondered if it was because of your love for clubs.
230
I know one of the big influences on this record was Screamadelica, the Primal Scream record.
231
And I got to talk to Bobby Gillespie one time.
232
Oh, you did?
233
Did you ever meet Bobby?
234
No, I've not met him.
235
He's a wild man.
236
I have not met him.
237
But I've heard he's amazing.
238
Lovely fellow.
239
And he sort of had a back, he said something to me that, I was thinking about it when I was listening to this record and reading about you, which is a weird thing to say to another human.
240
But I said, I was reading articles about you, do it.
241
You're gonna have to live with it.
242
And he said that, so he came up in like sort of angry, dark punk, like Jesus and Mary Chain and shoegaze music.
243
And he said Primal Scream kind of really started
244
because he started going to clubs and to raves and realizing the joy that's around him.
245
I'm going to tell you something about me.
246
I have never in my life, I don't know if you can tell from the beard, I've never gone to a club.
247
What?
248
In my life.
249
What?
250
Yeah, in my life. By choice?
251
You just didn't feel the urge to want to even check it out?
252
I think my friends just didn't go.
253
We were going to bars.
254
We were going to see shows.
255
We never went to clubs in our lives.
256
So can you tell me from, I feel like you're gonna walk out.
257
No, not at all.
258
I'm just, I'm...
259
Is this it?
260
Did you take this off?
261
No, I'm intrigued.
262
Okay.
263
At that, I guess I've just...
264
I guess it's not even curiosity.
265
My whole life was just so surrounded around like, my parents, they're very lively.
266
And they love a party.
267
What does that mean?
268
They're just like fun party people.
269
I think really what it comes down to.
270
And so I guess I remember being a kid and them taking me everywhere with them.
271
And we would go on holiday and they would go to a bar
272
and there would be live music
273
and I would stay there until 3 o'clock in the morning until I would fall asleep
274
and they would still be up and hanging out
275
and chatting always surrounded by music and dancing and people like having community
276
and these joyous moments
277
that as i was growing up i was looking for my own version of
278
that of what they had and what they
279
would go out exploring and so you know they would always bring me in
280
but i was like okay how can i do this with my friends
281
and so clubbing
282
and going out dancing was such a right of passage almost the The second I got a little bit older, I was like, I want to go dancing.
283
I want to be free.
284
I want to feel the music.
285
And the sweatier I got in and on a night out, that was kind of like the badge of honor of like the fun night out,
286
the story that you would then tell until the next weekend when you would go back out again.
287
And I mean, one of my early job, when I was 17, I worked in a nightclub and, you know, I just have these,
288
it's such a big part of my life.
289
And it's that sense of community.
290
It's also how I feel in large groups of people at a festival, in a crowd.
291
You share this like common language.
292
It's so fun and joyous.
293
And that connection that you have with a complete stranger who's next to you, but you both love the same song and you're just in this.
294
But I guess you would have the same thing in a bar, at a show, at a gig, whatever it is.
295
Yeah, singing songs.
296
So I came up playing traditional music in corners and playing tunes with people.
297
So I get it.
298
So it's a similar thing.
299
It's just that one...
300
It's that connection, that community.
301
But can you still do that?
302
Like, you're Dua Lipa now.
303
Can you still go to stuff?
304
A thousand percent.
305
Do you have to...
306
You know, who was it we talked to the other day?
307
Noah Kahn.
308
Do you know him?
309
Yes, the country artist.
310
Yeah, yeah, country folky guy.
311
And he had to wear...
312
He told me he went to an Olivia Rodrigo show wearing a wig so he could be anonymous.
313
Really?
314
And go to the show.
315
Yeah, that's what he could kind of do.
316
That's cool.
317
You can go to clubs.
318
You can do it. For sure.
319
I mean, I, yeah.
320
You can get that joy.
321
You can get that stuff.
322
One thousand percent.
323
And it's so much fun.
324
And I go to the festivals and I jump in with everyone.
325
And I don't know.
326
I just, I love it.
327
I love going dancing and being out till late.
328
And like the funny stories that you get after a night out
329
and um yeah it's all making sense to me a little bit more now because because well first of all
330
first of all i need to go to a club uh
331
i mean i've been in them i've been in them for like events
332
and stuff like that i gotta go in
333
and dance a little bit yeah yeah for me like i
334
love it i love throwing parties i love a rave i
335
love you know um in the summer i go to um ibiza
336
and during the whole week i chill
337
but on a monday night there's one club night
338
that i go to and they just bring djs from all around the world
339
and it's just a full-fledged rave do they play your music
340
dc 10 no it's it's it's uh it's more hard it's it's more hardcore i guess um
341
but i find djs from there
342
and then i i I actually had a couple of them remix some songs for the record now.
343
Like I had Chloe Kayat remix Training Season and I met her on a night out.
344
And Adam Port is incredible as well.
345
He's part of Kleiner Music and I got introduced to him at this club night.
346
Well, what's making when I say it's all coming and making sense to me right now is because again, reading about you is the story of you, which is well publicized, is very interesting to me.
347
That your folks moved from Kosovo to London to flee the war.
348
You're born in the UK.
349
When you're 11, you move back to Kosovo, which is not easy to go back to your place.
350
Sort of the place where you're, like, the place you have an idea of from your parents.
351
You know what I mean?
352
And then there's these shows, after Kosovo gains independence, they have these shows, like 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg played there.
353
That's right, right?
354
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
355
And all of a sudden, I guess you're around other people and dancing and there's probably something beautiful happening there.
356
Yeah, it's amazing.
357
I mean, 50 Cent, I'll never forget that.
358
He came and played in the stadium.
359
And people in Kosovo listen to a lot of hip hop music.
360
So when I lived there, there was like this heavy influx of just hip hop.
361
So it was a lot of Biggie and Tupac and 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg and Method Man and Red Man.
362
Yeah.
363
And that was my first show.
364
They were actually the first to come to Kosovo and
365
that was my first show I ever went to when I was 15.
366
And are you going, I want to be up there, I want to do that?
367
All my dreams about music and performing involved being on stage.
368
So I, yeah, but I think it was just like, it's just a dream.
369
You know, I would see people on stage, but it was just like trying to figure out how you get to that point.
370
And I just knew that London was that place for me.
371
Like I needed to be in a place where everything was happening.
372
I needed to be in a place that I felt like, well, I mean, that was just bigger than Kosovo.
373
It just, at the time, like now I was having a conversation
374
about how much there's so many artists that you can discover from all around the world.
375
And it's so easy to tap into different cultures and different places.
376
And you just didn't have that.
377
You know, you couldn't really be in Kosovo when I was 15
378
and put music out hope that you know someone might find you
379
and you just had to be in london
380
and i was just i guess fortunate that i was born in london
381
because my parents had moved there how old were you
382
when you said to them like i'm going to go back
383
and become a pop star i was i was 14
384
when i started planting the seed i was 15 i moved back to london um
385
but it was also along the lines of i need to go back and finish my GCSEs and maybe go to uni, but also want to do music. So, yeah.
386
I've heard you ask them since, why did you let me go?
387
Yeah.
388
What was their answer?
389
I'm a hard person to say no to.
390
I thought it was going to be, oh, we believed in you, do we believe in your...
391
No, but they did.
392
It was, I want to get you out of the house.
393
They just, yeah.
394
No, they were just so supportive and they just put a lot of trust in me.
395
And I think their trust was also something that I didn't want to misuse.
396
And the fact that they let me do that, I tried to be a good kid, you know?
397
When did you know it was going to work out?
398
Your eyes widened.
399
It's just such, it was, I think for them, so scary when I was like, all right, I'm going to take,
400
because I finished my compulsory school and then I was like, I'm going to take a year off and I'm just going to focus on music.
401
And, you know, I don't know what it's like to be a parent, but I think now having conversations with them, it's so daunting when your kid just wants to be like,
402
I'm going to focus on music, I'm going to take a year off, I'm going to work different jobs and I'm going to try and do this.
403
I think for them, they were like, OK, you sure you don't want to go to uni?
404
You sure you don't want to do that and that at the same time?
405
And I was so headstrong on the fact that I'm like, I'm going to take one year
406
and I'm just going to focus on trying to get my music out there in some way.
407
And I guess even when I got signed, I didn't know if it was going to happen.
408
And all I knew, it was like I quit my job in a restaurant that I was working in in Soho.
409
And that was enough to go on, was like, okay, I'm working on an album and I'm working on music.
410
It doesn't really mean a lot.
411
But it doesn't mean a lot until I had a song called Be The One that came out.
412
And then I was starting to book some festivals.
413
And I was like, okay, I'm on stage.
414
I'm doing what I love.
415
And those rooms were getting bigger.
416
I was going on a tour.
417
I then supported Troye Savannah in America.
418
Things were kind of changing and shifting.
419
My first ever Glastonbury that I performed in, that was very early doors.
420
It was the second Glasto that was just before my first album came out.
421
That's when I felt like things were really shifting because...
422
I remember peering out from the curtain, the show was in a tent, and not very many people were out there.
423
And I was like, you know what, I'm just going to go out and have fun.
424
And this is Glastonbury, it's my favourite festival, I'm just going to go and enjoy it and it was being televised onto the BBC, that performance.
425
And just as I had gone up on stage, the whole tent was packed.
426
It was like sardines.
427
And I remember turning to my band and being like, oh my god, there's so many people here.
428
And that's when everything shifted for me.
429
I was like, OK, things are starting to happen.
430
And I just wanted to keep working.
431
I felt like I was strapped to a rocket.
432
That's the only way that I can describe it, because I just took every opportunity that I had to work,
433
to travel, to do more shows, to tour.
434
I just said yes and I just kept moving and working.
435
And you can exhale and your parents can exhale a little bit too.
436
And go, okay.
437
Yeah, things are happening.
438
I saw, I listened to a couple of episodes of your podcast to get ready for this too, and then I watched you on Stephen Colbert.
439
Oh yeah.
440
And you had a really lovely moment.
441
I pay a lot of attention to interview questions and stuff like that.
442
I think a lot about them.
443
And he asked you to ask him a question, and I was so blown away by the question you asked him, to be honest.
444
You asked him, I don't know if you remember, how does your faith intersect with your art?
445
He's so vocal about his faith on his show.
446
I think that's something that people really connect with Colbert in that way.
447
And he's just so, his response was so beautiful.
448
He quoted Henry James.
449
And it's so profound.
450
And I think I was really taken back by him.
451
It was wonderful.
452
Similar to the question you asked Stephen about how does his faith intersect with his art and his career, how does being, when you talk about things like protection
453
and you talk about things like work and you talk about things like drive,
454
how does being a child of displaced people intersect with your art and your career?
455
Do you know what I mean? yeah one thousand percent i
456
i think it almost has everything to do with it in
457
uh in a weird way i think having seen my parents adapt to
458
so many different scenarios to me moving from you know
459
london to kosovo to back to london being adaptable i think that in itself all those things led me to
460
the art that i'm making now into the way that i see things the way my perspective is the way that
461
i have this outlook on rolling with the punches that
462
if things are bad they're never going to be bad for
463
too long you're just going to be able to you just have to figure out how you navigate
464
and move through it and my work ethic is is that of like an immigrant work ethic where i just
465
I feel like I need to work really hard to get to where I want to be.
466
Like nothing's given and nothing's taken for granted.
467
And everything that I want and everything that I have, I've worked really, really hard to get there.
468
And that's something that I'm really grateful for.
469
because I don't know it just pushes me to do better
470
and be better and really enjoy all the little things along the way
471
and see every baby step as a little victory
472
and not be like that wasn't good enough
473
but seeing everything as part of the journey
474
and yeah I think it's I think it's everything does it explain the scheduling thing like
475
that you schedule your entire life to the 15 minutes I I wondered that.
476
You just want to fit a lot in?
477
I just want to make the most of every single day.
478
Yeah, that's beautiful, dude.
479
That's beautiful.
480
I want to make the most of every single day.
481
But really, like I am not in, I guess, yeah, it sounds like cliche,
482
but I try and fit in as much as I can
483
and do as many fun things as I can
484
and work as hard as I can
485
and that's why I feel like I can work hard
486
and have fun and go on holiday and do the tour
487
and see my friends and have time for yoga and maybe the meditation and see my siblings when I can.
488
And it's all those things.
489
I feel like my job takes up so much of my time.
490
And especially when I'm on tour and the schedule is so back to back, I miss out on a lot of things.
491
So when I'm not on a crazy regimented schedule of touring,
492
then I'm like, right, how many dinners can I fit in?
493
How much time can I spend with my family?
494
How much time can I see my friends?
495
Where can I travel?
496
What can I do that isn't surrounded by a work thing?
497
I have a weekend here.
498
Let's go.
499
Let's enjoy.
500
Let's have fun.
501
Whatever it is, make the most of it.
502
I feel so lucky that this is my life and I get to do this.
503
Why the hell should I not have all the fun that I could possibly have while doing so? And I love it.
504
I got the wrap up, but I wanted to tell you what a joy it is to get a chance to talk to you.
505
How much I love the record.
506
Thank you.
507
How much future nostalgia helped me through the pandemic.
508
Thank you so much.
509
And I just love the way you think about music and art.
510
And I really appreciate your time.
511
Thank you.
512
I really appreciate talking to you.
513
You're an incredible interviewer.
514
I was thinking that the whole time.
515
Yeah, you're fantastic.
516
Oh, come on, thanks.
517
Yeah, no, for sure.
518
So thank you, I've loved that.

O que você vai aprender
Nesse vídeo, você desenvolve três habilidades práticas para falar inglês com mais confiança: expressar sentimentos pessoais de forma natural (como Dua Lipa compartilha experiências de relacionamentos), participar de conversas informais com fluidez (através do diálogo com o entrevistador) e usar metáforas na fala (como "mask them in mysticism" para descrever como ela conta histórias). Essas habilidades são essenciais para a prática de conversação em inglês e ajudam a se comunicar de forma mais autêntica.
Ouça esses sons
Repare nas conexões e reduções típicas do inglês falado: "I'm all right" (ouvido como "I'm all righ'") com a elisão do "t" final, "kind of" (reduzido a "kinda") e "want to" (ligado a "wanna"). Essas combinações fazem a fala fluir mais e são chave para melhorar a pronúncia em inglês. Também preste atenção no linking em "it's like a weird, cool, psychedelic dance record", onde as palavras se conectam suavemente, sem pausas abruptas.
Fale como um nativo
Para imitar o ritmo e a ênfase de Dua Lipa, use a técnica de shadow speech (repita imediatamente após ela, como um eco). Note que ela dá ênfase em palavras como "freedom", "truth" e "worth" para transmitir emoção. Sua intonação sobe em perguntas e desce em afirmações, como em "How are you doing?" e "I know when it's time for me to leave". Pratique essa variação para deixar sua fala mais natural. Lembre-se: o shadow speak ajuda a treinar o ouvido e a musculatura da fala, tornando sua pronúncia mais nativa. Combine isso com a prática de conversação em inglês, e você verá progressos rápidos!
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | we've worked · has just allowed · I've made |
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | be taken · were made · be heard |
| Orações relativas who / which + oração — informação extra sobre uma pessoa ou coisa | person who maybe · someone who I · people who are |
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
