It’s official – New Rules is stuck in my head. For those of you who don’t know who or what I’m talking about – enter Dua Lipa, the artist behind the song. At 22 years old, Dua is an English singer/song writer, model, dancer and shall we say actor too? Why not, she probably can do everything! Go girl.
After humming along in the car, much to my boy’s disgust, I decided to take a look at who was behind the song. What a treat! And a real trip back to the 80s with the pastel and flamingo aesthetic.
Listening to the summer vibes of New Rules takes me back to my childhood holidaying on the Gold Coast and passing the iconic ‘Pink Poodle’ neon sign on the way to the beach. The catchy lyrics tell a classic tale of bad boy trying to sneak back and your girlfriends keeping you strong. And oh my that voice! Unless she’s been chain-smoking, at 22 those vocal chords are her own! I also read that she was heavily involved in the direction of the video clip which is refreshingly simple fresh and fun. TWH tick for you Dua Lipa!
Even better – this song makes me want to bring out my Green Gucci mules and dance the night away. I think we might do just that this weekend. Bubbles anyone??
We hope you all have a fab weekend.
Until next time,
E&E
