For the official soundtrack of the movie Fifty Shades Freed, singer Dua Lipa in collaboration with Whethan, unveils High.
The soundtrack
Once again, an elite of artists are present in the album. On the one hand, Sia is present for the third time with Deer in Highlights and Ellie Goulding with a quieter version of the hit Love Me Like You Do.
New artists include Hailee Steinfield with Capital Cities , a collaboration with producer BloodPop (Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga). Julia Michaels is present in the sexy Heaven and Are You and Jessie J makes an excellent electronic cover of I Got You (I Feel Good) by James Brown. Rita Ora and former directioner Liam Payne are in charge of the official single For You , the sister of I Don't want to Live Forever with Taylor Swift and Zayn, another former member of One Direction, oddly enough.
High
One of the most interesting tracks of the album is High. Dua Lipa appeals to her most soul side and presents us with a rock and electronic sound full of sensuality and adrenaline.
"Can we get a little high?", Dua Lipa sings in loop under an effects voice that plays the role of a very punk-rock bass, and that interrupts Dua Lipa in the singing. Perhaps it is her deepest desires that take hold of her to the point of cutting her off? "Losing all my vision, religion, I'm holding my tongue".
Dua Lipa surprises us again with a track far from the omnipresent pop in the official soundtrack of the film. The lyrics and instrumentation are completed to perfection which makes Dua Lipa an artist in her own right. Yes, it's pop, but thoughtful pop that wants to go beyond today's sound. We look forward to hearing about his second studio album. For now, let yourself be carried away by the captivating High.
