LIST PICK
DUA LIPA NEW LOVE
We've been keeping an eye on London singer Dua Lipa's social feeds for a little while now, after stumbling upon some of her excellent, smoke-filled YouTube covers. Our patience has paid off with the arrival of 'New Love', the 19 year-old's debut single proper. Produced by one of our favourite names - Lykke Li, Lana Del Rey and FKA twigs collaborator - Emile Haynie, 'New Love' could have easily been a slick Rihanna ballad on another day, but Dua makes this entirely her own, breathily declaring her need for "some new love" over rumbling percussion and glossy slivers of synth. A pop debut of the absolute highest quality. - DC
