Dua is a disco Barbie, Jake Shears keeps dancing, Hayley Kiyoko’s new sound: Your weekly bop roundup
infuriating news from companies rolling back on their Pride promises, we are fired up in more ways than one.I say we take some time to cool off a bit on this last Friday in May, and what better way to do that than with some good ol’ pop music? With some stellar new music drops from some of our favorite queer and LGBTQ+ allied artists, let’s take a dip into what this week had to offer us in this week’s edition of “bop after bop“:Our residential disco diva, Dua Lipa, has returned to the dancefloor, and she’s ready for her hot “Barbie” summer.
The singer has released her new song, “Dance The Night,” which serves as the first single from “Barbie: The Album,” the official soundtrack for Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated Barbie film set to be released on July 21.
Dua continues her love letter to retro-futurism with this glittery track, laced with captivating vocals and synth-pop sensibilities.
The music video is equally captivating, showcasing an abundance of disco balls, Dua confidently taking the wheel of a Barbie-pink convertible, and gracefully twirling atop a massive Barbie heel.
