Time: I want Lipa on the list of the world's 100 most influential people in 2024

Its rapid appearance and attraction should not be surprising to any who have followed its violent pace in recent years. Yes, I want to be a global superstar who had the five best songs in Billboard 100's 10 and was shown in last year's most successful film, but its production was only possible because she uses every minute, writes. Time.

Lipa's deliberate approach to her work trail is followed by what she told TIME with a smile in 2017: “If I could.” I want Lipa from that interview is evidently younger and thirsty a 20-year-old on the eve of massive commercial success, in part thanks to its self-titute debut album full of hooks, which contained excellent electro-pop songs like” IDGAF”, “New Rules” and “Be The One”. Lipa, now 28 years old, is more composed, but no less enthusiastic for next year, which includes publication on May 3rd of “Radical Optimism”, its third album in a controversial studio. After all, she has shown it for seven years, maybe longer.

And since I was very young, I've marked the things that I dreamed of myself,” says the singer and English-Albanian songwriter in an interview after her shot of the TIME 100 cover. I always planned ahead. Although surprises arise that I appreciate at this moment, there is always a long-term objective. ”

Sitting with the feet crossed with a black minifust “Jacques”, with red hair rolling around his face, I want him to speak exactly, carefully examining every question before answering. Pop stars, especially those with highly successful careers, are often accused of being calculators. But personally, Lipa seems very thoughtful, whether she's discovering what's available for <x2-radical Optimism” or sharing travel advice (Patato easily, bring books) and, in line with her former career as models, ready. It's important that you just write things down,” she says. You never know what can be done. ”

Do Lipa believe in the power of manifestation? Absolutely. The “manifesting is a big thing for me,” she accepts. “I stand too firm in the belief of setting things up in the world. Inconsiderately, you just work toward them. Nothing is ever too big. ”
Although Lipa laughs at herself new by declaring her plans to conquer the world, it is difficult to deny her erection of the stratosphere. Lipa was born in London in 1995 by Albanian parents from Kosovo, Anesa and Dukagjin Lipa, who left Pristina as refugees in the early 1990s. When Lipa was 11, her family returned to Kosovo a few years later, Lipa would convince her parents to allow her to return to London to pursue a career in music.

As he attended the theatre school as a teenager, Lipa started loading cocoversı on YouTube and SoundCloud, and signed with a modeling agency. In 2013, Lipa got her first job singing a version of “Lost in Music” by Sister sledge for an XFactor television commercial that led to a publishing agreement with the Tap Music, and later, a record agreement with Warner Bros. (Last year, Lipa bought her publishing rights and left the list of Tap artists. )

Lip debut song, “New Love”, was launched in 2015 and was soon followed by “Be the One”. She published more single songs Your Mind (Mwah)” plus dynamic co-operation with Sean Paul (“No Lee” in 2016. By the summer of 2017, Lipa would finally discover her self-tituted studio.

After the success of the I Love Lip, which won five nominations at British Awards 2018 (it won British Braakthhhead Act and the British Religious Artist Solo), Lipa unveiled her reviews assessed by critics in 2020 for disco, Futurous Nostalgia, a flashy, modernist and Jeany of the '70s, who awarded her the <x0Brit<1> award for Britain's album and best vocal album at 63-x <2Gram>

Lipsa's success led to her involvement in Barbie. “Dance the Night”, which she wrote along with Mark Ronson, presents the sound column of a key scene in the Greta Gerwiig case crash. (Film also contains a scene by pop singer Barbie sirens.) At the beginning of this year, Lipa appeared at the silver spy driller. I like the idea to embody another character and have a task. I also enjoy going to a photo session and can completely change my appearance. Give me another character. ”

To be a pop star or a celebrity in 2024 requires diversification. At the top of the music and <x0-seconds of the baby”, as she calls them, Lipa feels also as a journalist; “I want Lipla: At Your Service” was named one of the best Podcasts of 2022 by “Spotific”.
Lipa, who was granted Albanian citizenship in 2022, also speaks passionately about its dual heritage, as well as the importance of Kosovo receiving visa liberalisation, which allows citizens to travel freely through Europe's borderless areas. “I am from two countries at the same time,” says it. Being from Kosovo is a big part of what I am and receiving my Albanian citizenship was truly exciting. ”

For a population in Kosovo, where more than 50% is under 25, it is one of the newest populations in Europe,” continues Lipa. “The ability to be able to travel freely is really important. There are all these children who have big dreams and hopes and want to be able to move, travel, and explore. They want to evolve and grow and hope that they can be heard and seen in another way. Now that their passports imply something, it feels very good. ”

To honor its roots, Lipa is equally committed to changing the way its Western fans can perceive countries like Kosovo and Albania. When people think of Kosovo, I don't want them to be like: “There's a lot more”, she says. “We hold a festival in Pristina, me and my father, that has to do with getting people from around the world to come down and see how different it is from what they expect from these artists from around the world, or coming fans. to see artists wanting from neighbouring countries. I know that when I lived in Kosovo, none of my favorite artists were coming there. It's my biggest dream to be able to bring it to the young people there. ” /Telegraphy/
