Dua Lipa Announces New Musical Era By Wiping All Instagram Posts
She has also changed her profile picture, hinting at what's coming
Dua Lipa has given us one of the standout pop albums of the last decade: Future Nostalgia, which dropped in 2020, has firmly established itself as a musical gem, thanks to standout tracks like «Don’t Start Now,» «Physical,» and «Break My Heart,» rekindling our love for pop-dance tunes. Now, almost four years since its release –during the global pandemic– Dua Lipa is preparing for her next musical chapter.
The British singer has embarked on the first phase of ushering in a new era: a fresh start on her Instagram profile. It’s worth mentioning she’s done this before. She bid farewell to the album, Dua Lipa, that catapulted her to stardom with hits like «New Rules,» «Be The One,» and «IDGAF,» essentially wiping the slate clean to usher in the new era of Future Nostalgia.
This practice of resetting social media profiles has become a longstanding tradition among artists, signaling that something exciting and fresh is on the horizon. In Dua Lipa’s case, she’s also updated her profile picture. Now, it shows an intriguing collage of her eye, adorned with a blue filter that hints at the direction her new music will take.

However, Dua Lipa has gone beyond simply changing her profile picture; she has also done so with the images on her album and song covers.
Dua Lipa & The Psychedelic Pop
In a recent interview with The New York Times, the singer revealed that her upcoming musical era will draw inspiration from the psychedelic pop of the 1970s. Judging by the photo she’s posted on her Instagram profile, her new direction becomes even more apparent. Dua Lipa isn’t one to simply follow existing trends; she’s a trendsetter who creates waves and expertly rides them. It’s entirely possible that her third studio album could spark a fresh trend in favor of the psychedelic sound.
Despite not having released an album since 2021 when she unveiled the Deluxe Edition of Future Nostalgia, Dua Lipa has remained a prominent figure in the music industry. Just this past summer, she achieved tremendous success with «Dance The Night,» a featured song on the Barbie movie’s soundtrack.
Furthermore, a few months prior, she collab with the legendary Elton John to produce «Cold Heart,» a song that has rapidly cemented itself as a contemporary classic. While we await further information about Dua Lipa’s new musical era, all signs point to the imminent release of her new single. Will it become yet another hit? It’s a safe bet that it will. But if you want to know more about Dua Lipa and her content, you can explore the love lessons she has conveyed through her songs.
