Jason Brown went to Dua Lipa concert. I didn't know her music that well and I was curious and looked her up. I just realized she did the vocals for this song, which I really liked when Calvin Harris released it.
As for 'One Kiss' - I recommend (for a good laugh) version made by FC Liverpool football club in Kiev this May during Champions League final (Dua Lipa was live there as musical guest):

That is SO cool. Thanks for sharing that!
Apparently Due Lipa's next album is going to have influences from Prince and OutKast? I will REALLY like that.
Around the time of the World Cup, I remember seeing a picture on my Facebook News Feed of Dua Lipa, Rita Ora and Era Istrefi, which was celebrating that they were all Kosovar Albanians.
I have liked Rita ever since she was a judge on the X Factor a few years ago (I really wish she had stayed for more than 1 series. She was one of the best judges they’ve ever had on the programme!) Although her songs don't always do it justice, she has some voice!
And just to prove it, here is her duet with Louisa Johnson from the X Factor final:
Louisa Johnson and Rita Ora -
"And I Am Telling You"
When Rita started as a judge, all I really knew about her was her name and that she was a singer. I didn’t know any of her songs or anything else about her. So, I looked her up and that was when I found out that she was from Kosovo. And I was in awe of what she had achieved, coming from a country that was a warzone when she was growing up.
Then these other 2 singers come along a few years later with the same back story!
I had never heard tell of Dua and Era when I saw that picture. And now that I have looked up some of their songs, I have to admit that I don't really like their style of music. But, I still admire what they have achieved.
Thinking about it, I suppose I have a general admiration for people from Kosovo who make a success of themselves, because it was the same when I came across footballers Lira Bajramaj and Kosovare Asllani. Although, to be fair, they were two of the best women’s footballers in Europe at the time, so it was only natural to admire them!
But, this is getting away from music, so I’ll shut up now.
