What makes Dua Lipa so special? “She writes brilliant pop songs, has a brilliant voice, and is a terrific live performer,” says Sir Elton John.

In Pristina, she became an amateur anthropologist of a culture she was already a part of. It started with the larger things, like realizing that her Albanian wasn’t yet up to snuff for academic work and struggling through a few years of bad grades. She also started to learn, via her friends, more about the region’s conflict. “These stories, they stay with you forever,” she said.

It’s also a matter of using the platform she regards as a privilege: “As my profile is growing, especially online, I feel like I need to use that to do something better than, you know, posting cute pictures or whatever.” “The attacks against Dua are outrageous,” Sanders said. “Simply saying that we must uphold international standards of human rights consistently, even when it’s politically difficult, is not anti-Semitism. The time is now to adopt an even-handed approach in the conflict, one that says Israel has the absolute right to live in peace and security, but so do the Palestinians.

Lipa started piecing together an album over years of sessions yielding about 160 songs with a wide array of songwriters. “I was just putting songs out in the hopes that they would just have a little bit more momentum than the last song,” she said. “Baby steps. Just a little bit more than the other ones. Just a couple more people. Sell out one more show, or have the rooms fill up just a little bit more.

By the end of 2017, she had become Spotify’s most streamed female artist in the U.K., and by early 2018, the song had hit the Hot 100, peaking at number six. Global impact was part of the plan from the beginning, said Mawson. “There are a lot of British artists who count successes in the U.K., but we’re very much focused on the world, so we have that in mind when we work on music,” he added. “If we don’t have an American radio team totally confident, it’s not going to be a single.

“You want to show that you’re here to stay and you want to show that it’s not just about one album or one big song or whatever it is,” she said. “I just wanted to make sure that this time around, I was very much in control of the fact that I’m going to do the music, then I’m going to rehearse. And then when I come in and I do the performances, they’re all going to be amazing. I’m going to prove to people that I can do this and that I’m here to stay.
