Dua Lipa shares details about upcoming ‘vulnerable and honest’ third album

Dua Lipa has revealed her upcoming “really personal” third album is about dating and finding out whether a lover is “real or not”.

The British-Albanian singer is currently dating French director Romain Gavras, 42. Prior to their romance, she was in a relationship with Anwar Hadid until 2021 and was also previously linked with Trevor Noah.

Discussing her hotly-anticipated release, the 28-year-old shared in a new interview on US radio, as per The Sun: “It's more the different feelings and emotions you have throughout the period of being single.

“It’s also understanding. You understand what you want and what you need and what you deserve. It goes from the phase of ­figuring out singledom into potentially a new relationship.

“Then it’s early days and ­getting to see the truth behind someone – whether they are real or not. Or who they are.”

Earlier this month, the Don’t Start Now hitmaker said her upcoming album, which she is yet to reveal the title for, is “vulnerable and honest”.

She told Capital: “The more that I write, the more that I’m in the studio, the more confident I get in my craft, and being vulnerable and honest and not being afraid to put myself on blast.”

The Levitating singer rose to fame with her debut album, Dua Lipa, and her latest album, Future Nostalgia, which just surpassed 10 billion streams.

She has received numerous accolades throughout her career including six Brit Awards, three Grammy Awards, and two Guinness World Records.

In 2020, she broke her first World Record for most tickets sold for a livestreamed concert by a solo female artist, and then in 2021 for most monthly listeners on Spotify for a female artist.
