Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Dec. 4, 2020 | Abby O'Neill -- With a genuine smile stretched across her face, Dua Lipa seems overjoyed to reconnect with her band for their only performance since their tour in support of her sophomore album, Future Nostalgia, was cancelled in March. Glowing from the inside out and accentuated by the apricot hues of a backdrop in a London studio, Dua and her backup vocalists and band bring life and warmth into households in need of "levitating" and some pep in their step this winter. This vibrant four song set of dance hits, all from Future Nostalgia, will surely have you cutting up the floor in your kitchen while quarantining in the cold weather.
While we can't film our Tiny Desk concerts at NPR's D.C. office during the pandemic, our "home" series has created opportunity for global megastars like Dua Lipa to bring her uptempo dance joints all the way from London. Of Kosovar Albanian descent, Dua Lipa was raised in the UK and rose to super stardom in the three years since her eponymous debut album dropped in 2017.
NPR Music featured her in our docu-series Noteworthy at the onset of her career. It's been extraordinary to witness her colossal takeover of the pop music landscape. Dua sums the times during her intro of "Love Again": "It's about manifesting good things into your life, when things aren't quite going your way."

Once I’m making more than I need to pay my bills you’ll have my $$
Can you believe that people actually used to go to concerts? This is far too dangerous with covid. People should be wearing 2 masks. Stay home, save lives.

Everything about her and her music is just... boring.
Made my life happier more groovy
SUBLIME BELLE VOIX , JE TAIMES
Thank you, my mom has been sad over menopause but today she woke up very positive singing levitating💘
It could have been kicked up a notch with a live drummer. Who made the decision to go with a drum track. SMH.
Absolutely!!
Dua Lipa is 🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
Cuando su voz se escucha mejor en vivo que en sus canciones producidas te das cuenta que su casa productora es mala al momento de mezclar su música
Her presence and vocals have DRASTICALLY improved since I saw her in concert 2 years ago. She sounds amazing and looks even better!
I felt this.
To much 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What's that thing on the table? And why's there a mic pointing at it?
I think it's a cassette player, probably playing the drum track. You can see Matty stop it after Pretty Please and there is a tape sitting next to it.
JE E SHKELQYER DUA LIPA....TE LUMTE.....
Dua Lipa is very very very sexy in this video
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE DUA LIPA!

I love her voice (and the back up singers too-great harmony) No auto-tune needed. Plus she is the coolest too-read the latest Rolling Stones article. Thanks Dua!

i like this slowed down as it is on this tiny desk , and like that 70s sister sledge vibe ~
Perfect in all regards. Can't stop listening. Btw, if I want to place an upcoming songwriter (beautiful girl) in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, any clue whom to call?
