Dua Lipa seems totally unstoppable at the moment, not only did she win two BRIT Awards this year, she has also had a Number 1 single 'One Kiss' with Calvin Harris, which enjoyed a massive eight consecutive weeks in the top spot. Now, the 'New Rules' singer has teased a very exciting collaboration with not one, but TWO huge producers.
Taking to Twitter, Dua Lipa tweeted a close-up photo of a woman with blonde hair and long silver and black nails saying, 'Her name is Electricity... and you’ll meet her soon enough ⚡️'.
Continuing to tease the collaboration, Mark Ronson then retweeted Dua saying, 'COMING REAL SOON x', however no further details have been released.
Back in January 2018 it was revealed that Dua was working with Mark Ronson and Diplo. She shared a photo, without a caption, of herself in the studio with the mega producers, however at the time it wasn't revealed whether they were working on Dua's forthcoming album, or on their new album.
Mark previously told The Times that 'Electricity' was "a belter," going to to explain it was, “Spiritual piano house music like they used to make… Lipa sounds imperious."
Mark Ronson and Diplo are known independently for their great production on tracks such as the late Amy Winehouse's 'Valerie' and Beyoncé's 2016 song, 'Hold Up'. As well as working as a producer, Diplo, real name Thomas Wesley Pentz, is the lead member of Major Lazer, who released 'Cold Water' featuring Justin Bieber and MØ.
