I think there's just this massive stigma around pop music overall, and especially as a female artist to be taken seriously,

unless you're behind a piano or a guitar.

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.

Dua Lipa.

Nice to meet you.

So nice to meet you, Tom.

How are you doing?

I'm all right.

Congratulations on the record.

I really love it.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

I'm so happy for it to finally be coming out into the world.

I think I was just saying to you before we turned the microphones on that it's like a weird, cool, psychedelic dance record.

Oh, cool.

I mean, that's what I...

I wanted it to have that real freedom that I feel like psychedelia has.

and I feel like um I don't think that the

when I think about like psychedelic music I think about like the summer of love yeah

and I feel like we spent two years of our life kind of indoors during the pandemic collectively um

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.

And so for this record to come out, it feels like a real kind of free flowing moment for that time,

for that kind of radical optimism within all the madness, so.

Well, it's like speaking of the Summer Lovey.

I mean, we're in Jimi Hendrix's studio, so that's pretty psychedelic.

Yeah, the hub of it.

I was listening to this interview with Caroline Aylin, who's one of your most close collaborators.

And she had a line that I found really interesting about you.

And she said, every studio session with Dua starts with the truth.

So what were the truths or the truth that you were exploring on this record?

I guess, you know, my really close friendship with Caroline over the years, we've worked on all three of my albums now together,

has just allowed this sense of closeness that I can go into a room

and just be myself and talk about things that are happening in my life.

And I know that together we can write songs that allow me to tell my story,

but also offer me a kind of sense of protection in a way that I can write songs from my experience,

but I can also mask them in mysticism.

And whether it's Houdini or it's illusion or whatever way that I want to describe it,

that also gives me like a safety net on how I want to tell my stories.

And it always starts with the truth because it's always like a dear diary.

I come into the studio and especially this album,

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

so let's write about it let's talk about like a story like oh we went out last night

and then this happened this happened it was really was really how it was

and um yeah a lot of the stories just kind of stemmed from um

yeah personal relationships things that were going on like ups and downs and good dates and bad ones and uh Yeah,

it's like girl chat, you know, sitting down and just like putting it all down onto paper.

What's Houdini about?

So Houdini is about, I guess, just really like knowing your worth.

It's like finally coming to a place of being like, if you're good enough, I'll stay.

And if you're not, I know when it's time for me to leave.

Like I know when a situation is good for me or not.

And that was probably something I wasn't able to do as well previously in my life.

What's that?

When I was writing, knowing when to like leave.

Like a bad and negative relationship or something, those are things that I had to learn through.

I stuck it out.

My first ever relationship, I stayed in for way longer than I should have done

because I felt like that was the way that things were supposed to be.

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,

says things that make me feel uncomfortable, whatever it is.

You just kind of learn from all those experiences.

And I'm at a place now where I just won't stand for that, not even for a second.

And Houdini is a very strong song of like, catch me or I'm leaving, kind of thing.

You said something in your first answer that I'm sort of stuck on.

Mm.

I thought so.

One per interview, Dua do it.

You said, it allows me to tell my story and speak openly while still offering me protection.

Protection from what?

I think when you have, like for me, like my life is so public, whether I like it or not.

Yeah.

So whether that's me walking down the street or where I am

or what I'm doing there is so much of myself

that I offer up anyway there's also so much of myself

that I've made peace with the fact that

so many people have an insight into my life I've also made peace with the fact

that people are going to make up scenarios about me

or they're going to believe what they want to believe about me

and I've also allowed myself to be okay with

so many of those things because I get to do what I love every single day

and that's make music and be on stage and perform

and travel the world so those are the sacrifices that i've made

when i write my songs that's my therapy how i choose

to dress them up that's my therapy how i you know i can talk about my

personal experiences but i don't have to necessarily like say the name yeah that that can be for me and

the person who maybe hears it and will know it's about them but i don't have to go and like

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.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I never considered that.

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,

or, and I don't know if I ever, I don't know

if back then people were going like oh well there was

no like reddit message board to talk about who you make

me feel like a natural woman is about yeah you know

yeah that's all that's a whole different world for you it's yeah for sure

and and also you know the the sacrifices maybe

that I've chosen to make about my public life don't necessarily

represent the same for maybe someone who I'm writing the song

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.

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.

FOR YOU

О данном уроке

В этом уроке вы потренируете разговорное английское, улучшите произношение и научитесь воспринимать естественную речь на слух. Основой будет диалог Дуа Липы о её новом альбоме, где она делится мыслями о радостной музыке, личных отношениях и самопринятии. Вы узнаете, как разговаривать о творчестве, переживаниях и установке на позитив — темы, которые часто встречаются в повседневных беседах.

Ключевой словарь и фразы

Radical optimism — радикальный оптимизм (настойчивое верование в добро, несмотря на сложности).
Stigma — презумпция, клеймо (в контексте: предубеждение против поп-музыки).
Free flowing — свободно текущий, непринуждённый (о творческом процессе или настроении).
Mask in mysticism — скрывать за мистикой (способ рассказывать о личных вещах, не раскрывая всё).
Know your worth — знать свою ценность (важная фраза для разговоров о самочувствии и отношениях).

Советы для практики

Для эффективной тренировки используйте технику shadow speech (последование за речью). Диалог Дуа Липы имеет среднюю скорость и естественную интонацию, поэтому подходит для начинающих и продолжающих. Сначала прослушайте отрывок коротко (5-10 секунд), затем повторите его сразу же, копируя ритм, тон и ударения. Обратите внимание на мягкие звуки в словах like weird, psychedelic — они часто сглаживаются в быстрой речи. Пracтикуйте daily: это поможет улучшить произношение и чувство ритма. Если сложно, запишите себя и сравните с оригиналом — так вы заметите, где нужно поправить интонацию или скорость. Помните: shadowspeaks — это ключ к естественной речи!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
