Singer Dua Lipa expresses her fondness for literature and initiates a new book club.
========================================================
Pop sensation Dua Lipa has revealed her love for books and the impact they have on her life, as well as her passion for music production, in a recent interview with Carpool Karaoke Christmas.
Growing up, Dua Lipa spent many hours in the children's section of a bookshop located at the O2 Centre on Finchley Road in London. Her mother, Anesa, was also an avid reader and the two would often spend their weekends engrossed in books. This early love of reading has stayed with Dua Lipa throughout her life.
When it comes to music, Dua Lipa is not just a performer but also a producer. She takes great care in the production process, ensuring that every note is just right. Interestingly, she finds that listening to a bounce of a record on not so good headphones can provide a more accurate representation of the final product.
Dua Lipa's love for her music is evident in her enthusiasm for listening to her newly recorded songs. She enjoys listening to them on loop in the car, immersing herself in the sound. However, she is particular about the equipment used in recording music, emphasizing the importance of high-quality speakers in a studio for making things sound better than they are.
In addition to her music, Dua Lipa has started a book club named Service95. Through this global editorial platform, she curates a variety of mostly female authors and diverse genres, focusing on emotional resonance rather than literary elitism. Some of the notable books recommended in Service95 include This House of Grief by Helen Garner, Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski, Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner, Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe, Trust and A Thousand Splendid Sons, There There by Tommy Orange, and The Bee Sting by Paul Murray.
Dua Lipa expresses a strong passion for sharing how books affect readers emotionally and for building a literary community through Service95. She emphasizes that her book club is not limited to classics but focuses on contemporary voices, especially female writers.
In summary, Dua Lipa's love for books and music are significant aspects of her life. Her favorite books and book club recommendations mix nonfiction and fiction with a focus on emotional depth, human stories, and diverse perspectives. Through Service95, she is fostering an inclusive, modern literary canon.
