DANNY L HARLE & DUA LIPA - TWO HEARTS

 Includingcollaborations including Dua Lipa, Caroline Polachek, Clairo, PinkPantheress, Oklou, MNEK, Julia Michaels and kacha, as well as his own daughters Grammy-nominated musician, producer, and composer Danny L Harle has released his debut album "Cerulean". His new collaboration with  Dua Lipa is one of the album's central highlights, continuing the creative collaboration between the two artists that began during the sessions for Dua Lipa's award-winning 2024 album, "Radical Optimism". Euphoric trance synths with classical harmonies, tactile sound design, and Harle's own field recordings of waves crashing on the shore are what his first album's sound is all about with "Two Hearts" being a part of this universe.Not really impressed by this single but Dua Lipa's first new song in 2026 makes it a tempting choice.

JENNIE ft DUA LIPA - HANDLEBARS

 All the Blackpink members are searching for a succesful solo career and they do it by making major collaborations.Last week, Lis unveiled her debut solo album "Alter Ego", which featured Doja Cat, Rosalía, Megan Thee Stallion, Future, and more. Now, fellow Blackpink member Jennie’s debut solo album "Ruby" follows the same tactic with collabs with Dua Lipa, Kali Uchis, Doechii, Childish Gambino and more.Of course "Handlebars" would be the obvious new single but it doesn't have the needed elements to become a major hit unless i m mistaken.Although this is an impressive collab the outcome is not as expected.

CHRIS STAPLETON & DUA LIPA - THINK I M IN LOVE WITH YOU (LIVE FROM THE 59th ACM AWARDS)

 After public demand this one got an official release after the live performance on the 59th ACM show that brought together the two artists.The Academy of Country Music made this unique pairing since Dua Lipa is a fan of Chris Stapleton and Stapleton loves Dua.The original performance took place just last week, when Lipa surprised the ACM crowd by taking the stage solo and singing a few bars of the "Higher" track, before Stapleton, his band, and a 13-piece string section joined her on stage.The result is pure magic and suits Lipa in a big way.With country music all over the charts this duet should be a huge hit.

DUA LIPA - END OF AN ERA

 Nope this is a pretty average album for Dua Lipa.I m sorry but this is my opinion about "Radical Optimism". I really struggled to choose a track to go with this post and even if my choice was "End Of An Era" the opening track of the album you can also tell by the sound of it that this was not the right path for one of the biggest pop stars in the world right now.I m sure that she already knows it after the acceptance of her first three singles and she will probably want to forget about this album as soon as possible.What's done is done and she better find a way to get a new hit until the end of the year...

DUA LIPA - ILLUSION

 I m not sure if she had exactly that on her mind when she was recording her new songs but both "Houdini" and "Training Season" didn't match the success of her old singles.But in case you are fans of the first two then i ll give you a third reason to buy her highly anticipated new album "Radical Optimism".The summer-ish "Illusion" is a dance track similar to what you already know from Dua so once more no surprises here that will please her fans and the radios and that's about it.

DUA LIPA - TRAINING SEASON (CLOE CAILLET MIX)

 Have a nice week soundfisters....

With Future & Metro Booming storming the Billboard charts with more than 3 songs in the top 10 and "Like That" staring from the top there is no room right now for big moves towards the top for any other songs.Next week the same will happen with many Beyonce songs replacing at the top the Future-Metro Booming effect.For how long nobody knows cause Benson Boone and Teddy Swims are still going strong having one of the biggest hits of the year so far.

With this and that you can say that once more Dua Lipa with her latest single doesn't fullfill the expectations with her brand new releases.So it's time for some tonic injections with some remixes for "Training Season" on the way with upcoming Chloe Caillet making this brand new mix that sounds in my opinion much better than the original.

DUA LIPA - TRAINING SEASON

 The "Training Season" has officially started.After previewing her new single at the Grammys Dua Lipa's new single from her untitled brand new album is out.The song was written by the same team that offered "Houdini" so there are no surprises to it's sound."Houdini" was a hit but it's success had nothing to do with her preview singles.My feeling is that "Training Season" will follow a similar course although it's a good dance pop song suitable for Lipa.

DUA LIPA - HOUDINI (DANNY L HARLE SLOWRIDE MIX)

 My initial point of view for "Houdini" didn't change and till now i was proved right when it comes to chart success for Dua Lipa's latest single.Yes it is a hit for Lipa but not as expected by her and for the status she is in.So far this only the second remix released for "Houdini" and i think i like it better this way.There is some kind of electronic 80's bliss provided by Danny L Harle that personally i find very suitable for this song...

DUA LIPA - HOUDINI (ADAM PORT MIX)

 My initial view about "Houdini" hasn't change and so far the chart performance for the song is rather poor if you add the promotion mechanism and the radio support for an artist like Dua Lipa today.I think that it won't be long till a second single will pop out but the last act for this single will be a pack of remixes.The first one came in my hands today from a producer who doesn't make often remixes, Adam Port.He takes out a lot of the drum machines from the original and adds a different background that i think i like it better this way.Let's see who else will be involved on the remix package...

DUA LIPA - HOUDINI

 Straight to the point...Is it a banger? For me no cause while it has a nice groove it's flat.Is it going to be a hit? Yes cause it's Dua Lipa and her brand new era.Will it stay forever? Not like her previous hit singles.The song comes from the inspired pairing of Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker and Caroline Polachek/ Charli XCX collaborator Danny L. Harle.There’s been little advance word about what the new album sounds like. She recently told the New York Times that it’s inspired by "1970s style psychedelia" (although there’s little indication of that here). "Houdini" will be massively streamed the first days and will be everywhere.But what about the duration of the song.Still it's a nice pop song but...

DUA LIPA - DANCE THE NIGHT

 I m not sure if the movie will have any success but the soundtrack to "Barbie" will.As a bonafide synth-pop hitmaker, Dua pulls retro-futuristic inspiration from her last record “Future Nostalgia” to craft the disco delight of "Dance the Night".This sound continues to be slick and Dua Lipa serves it perfectly. The track was released alongside a playful, and pink, music video featuring clips of the movie and a cameo from director Greta Gerwig.Tame Impala, Haim, Charli XCX and Ice Spice are on the lineup along with Karol G, Lizzo and more. Mark Ronson executive-produced the album, which also features Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken, along with fresh talents like Ava Max, Dominic Fike, Gayle, Fifty Fifty, Kali and the Kid Laroi.

CALVIN HARRIS ft DUA LIPA & YOUNG THUG - POTION

 Four years after their first collaboration but in very different status now Calvin Harris teams up once again with Dua Lipa for a new song."Potion" will be part of the "Funk Wav Bounces Vol 2" by Calvin Harris a journey that continues. Young Thug is also part in this breezy track that could be your summer potion if you are up for funky music that suits Dua Lipa like a glove. The brand new Calvin Harris will feature also Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj among others.For now the track can be found only on Sound Fist Facebook page. Later all over the place...

MEGAN THEE STALLION & DUA LIPA - SWEETEST PIE (DAVID GUETTA EXTENDED DANCE REMIX)

 So far "Sweetest Pie" failed to enter the Top 10 anywhere so a David Guetta is needed to transform the song into something else.This collaboration had a big hype but it didn't work although it's not a strange thing for songs to take their time before they become succesful.Maybe this remix will help the song to be heard in more radios or platforms adding some points to a pure course so far. On the other hand David Guetta is releasing something almost every week....Damn!!!

MEGAN THEE STALLION & DUA LIPA - SWEETEST PIE

 This is the major release of this week but that doesn't mean necessarily that it's the best one.Megan Thee Stallion is establishing her name by making collaborations with big names and adding Dua Lipa in her new song is something few can do.On the other hand Dua Lipa currently on tour with huge success makes the first release this year with "Sweetest Pie".To tell you the truth this Miami bass track doesn't impress me much.Maybe it needs some spins more in my ears but i m pretty sure it won't stand the test of time. Besides sweets makes you fat...

ELTON JOHN & DUA LIPA - COLD HEART (DENIS BRAVO RADIO EDIT)

 The definition of a classic is that a song is timeless. You can hear it now next month next year and forever. The chart position isn't always the criterion to astablish that term and it's more a feeling you feel every time you hear a song. Elton John has many of those and the latest is "Cold Heart" that already has many remixes to choose from but you can add another one. The Christmas single that is going to release with Ed Sheeran may give him another number one single this year and it almost looks more than certain...

DUA LIPA - LOVE AGAIN (GARABATTO REMIX)

 As the BBC will announce today Dua Lipa will add another number one in her career as the Elton John duet for "Cold Heart" will finally receive what it deserves, the number one spot. Great news for sir Elton John who expands his career and hits for more than 50 years which is extrordinary for an artist but he is not just an artist. Only sir Cliff Richard could break that but i don't know if it will ever happen.This will be his first number one in the Uk since 2003. Back to Dua Lipa as the "Love Again" single rises in the Usa chart and should have been a number one too if it was released as the first three singles from "Future Nostalgia". This new remix will make you love it more and a reason to hear it again and again...

 Few chances but there are still there for "Cold Heart" to hit number one in the Uk and i don't know if it can make it finally since Adele is releasing her new single next week."Shivers" is to hard to die but maybe the sales of the remixes of Elton John Dua Lipa's collab can contibue to something that needs to be done just for the history. There is a new remix of "Cold Heart" by his majesty Claptone that i m sure you gonna love it...

DUA LIPA - LOVE AGAIN (IMANBEK REMIX)

 Dua Lipa just enjoys the absolut success. The one single after the other becomes a chart hit and she is expanding her legacy in pop music with record breaking status. "Love Again" could have been easily the first single from "Future Nostalgia" as any other song from her amazing album. Now it's time for the remixes and Imanbek shoots the first one. There is no particular reason to promote something that sounds so good. Just enjoy this one in a big dancing way...

 Strangely it took a long time for this song to enter the Uk top 10 cause it is a instant hit. Now "Cold Heart" enjoys the Top 5 as i wrote days ago and is eyeing the Uk number one despite Ed Sheeran's reign with his songs replacing himself at the top. The remixes of "Cold Heart" are getting one by one on display and PS1 one of the highly and upcoming djs-producers makes this dance edition not only for clubs that will help sir Elton John gain another number one hit single...

ELTON JOHN & DUA LIPA - COLD HEART (THE BLESSED MADONNA EXTENDED MIX)

 If you are wondering where you can use the password then you have to find Sound Fist at Facebook to solve this question.And since "Cold Heart" is going to crash at the Uk Top 10 today with the potential to climb all the way to number one then you have to listen to this remix. The Blessed Madonna who made her big bang remixing many songs from the Dua Lipa "Future Nostalgia" album and then she had one of the most influation dance songs along Fred Again is doing her thing once again. I believe the Pnau remix is so far the best one but this dance minimalistic approach has a different logic for different music ears..
