Dua Lipa played stripped down versions of four tracks from ‘Radical Optimism’ for NPR’s Tiny Desk series this week – check out footage below.On Friday (October 25), the singer gave intimate performances of ‘Training Season’, ‘These Walls’, ‘Happy For You’ and ‘Houdini’, with gentle piano, acoustic guitar and glockenspiel backing.
At times, Lips picked up the pace, enhanced by electric guitar and backing vocalists, but it was the closeness of the setting that set the session apart.“I’ve always wanted to come down and be by the desk,” she said. “We did an at-home Tiny Desk in 2020, so this feels really special.
We have a lot to live up to so hopefully we can top that one up.”See the full performance here:Lipa commented that she had “never” played an acoustic version of ‘Happy For You’ in particular. “I’ve loved watching Tiny Desks and I love how artists reimagine their music and it’s always really inspiring,” she added, before introducing the final song, ‘Houdini’.In other Lipa news, her one-off show at London’s Royal Albert Hall will be broadcast on ITV later this year.
The concert saw a special appearance by Elton John, and saw the star perform alongside the 43-piece Heritage Orchestra, a 14-strong choir and seven-piece band.
