“Baby, you can find me under the lights / Diamonds under my eyes.” Ooh-la-la, 🎙 Dua Lipa! Those lyrics hail from the first verse of 🎵 “Dance The Night”, a highlight, and first single, from the various artists compilation, 💿 Barbie The Album. “Dance The Night” finds Dua Lipa being true to self. How so? Well, the record sounds as if it could’ve easily appeared on her 🏆 Grammy-winning sophomore album, 💿 Future Nostalgia. “Dance The Night” features danceable, picturesque production thanks to an all-star team: 🎛 Mark Ronson, Picard Brothers, and Andrew Wyatt. Perhaps it is those jubilant, flirty strings that make the backdrop so electrifying!

“Turn the rhythm up, don’t you wanna just / Come along for the ride?” Dua Lipa continues singing in the first verse.  As always, the singing is solid – we expect no less from a vocalist as talented as her.  Furthermore, those vocals are playful and flirty, delivered with plenty of personality.  She’s not lying when she asserts, “I can take the heat, baby, best believe / That’s the moment I shine,” or “When the night’s here, I don’t do tears / Baby, no chance.” Ow! In addition to fun lyrics and a well-rounded vocal, the tunefulness of the melody further amplifies this surefire catalyst for a dance floor. Honestly, is there any way you can sit on you’re a$$ while Dua Lipa implores us to 🎵 “Dance The Night” away? Hell nah – of course not! After all, “I stay on beat, you can count on me / I ain’t missin’ no steps!” Furthermore, Dua Lipa say it best in the chorus: “My heart could be burnin’, but you won’t see it on my face / Watch me dance (dance), dance the night away.”
