Dua Lipa’s third album is a glittering, wide-eyed ode to the butterflies-in-stomach feeling of meeting a new lover, delivered with the kind of breezy nonchalance only Lipa can pull off. While the early singles seemed to suggest a change of tack, it quickly becomes apparent that the whispers of a radical pivot on the new album were unfounded. Instead of overhauling her sound, though, Lipa has refined it—and the results are irresistible.
On Thursday night, the world’s most influential figures graced Manhattan for the prestigious TIME100 Gala. Hosted at Frederick P.

The star-studded event will be showcased on ABC on Sunday, May 12th, and will feature captivating performances from Dua Lipa and Fantasia Barrino, along with the presentation of the TIME Impact Award to Michael J. Fox.
