Dua Lipa Returns to NPR’s ‘Tiny Desk’ With Stripped-Down Dance Party Vibes
Dua Lipa played stripped-down versions of 'Radical Optimism' songs album during a four-song NPR 'Tiny Desk' show that went live on Friday; watch here.
Secure that her 2020 pandemic home NPR Tiny Desk concert still holds the record for the most-seen Tiny Desk ever with more than 130 million views, Dua Lipa was back in the crowded public radio offices on Friday (Oct. 25) when her second stripped-down show highlight tracks from this year’s Radical Optimism album. Speaking to NPR’s Ari Shapiro in an interview before the four-song episode dropped, Dua explained that she flipped the uptempo album track “Happy For You” into a stripped-down piano and voice ballad that represented the song in its “purest form,” stripped of the bubbling electronic production. The session ends with the album’s first single, the certified banger “Houdini,” whose slinky, joyful vibe likely sent the NPR crew shuffling back to their desks with a big smile on their faces.
