The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Dec. 4, 2020 | Abby O'Neill -- With a genuine smile stretched across her face, Dua Lipa seems overjoyed to reconnect with her band for their only performance since their tour in support of her sophomore album, Future Nostalgia, was cancelled in March. Glowing from the inside out and accentuated by the apricot hues of a backdrop in a London studio, Dua and her backup vocalists and band bring life and warmth into households in need of "levitating" and some pep in their step this winter. This vibrant four song set of dance hits, all from Future Nostalgia, will surely have you cutting up the floor in your kitchen while quarantining in the cold weather.
While we can't film our Tiny Desk concerts at NPR's D.C. office during the pandemic, our "home" series has created opportunity for global megastars like Dua Lipa to bring her uptempo dance joints all the way from London. Of Kosovar Albanian descent, Dua Lipa was raised in the UK and rose to super stardom in the three years since her eponymous debut album dropped in 2017. NPR Music featured her in our docu-series Noteworthy at the onset of her career. It's been extraordinary to witness her colossal takeover of the pop music landscape. Dua sums the times during her intro of "Love Again": "It's about manifesting good things into your life, when things aren't quite going your way."

Can you believe that people actually used to go to concerts? This is far too dangerous with covid. People should be wearing 2 masks. Stay home, save lives.

I used to think that this tune (Levitating) was really funky. But I just got here from the Kirk Franklin desk concert. This is no longer funky. Not even in "it's own way".

What's that thing on the table? And why's there a mic pointing at it?

I think it's a cassette player, probably playing the drum track. You can see Matty stop it after Pretty Please and there is a tape sitting next to it.

Diego Rosado
Dua Lipa is very very very sexy in this video
Laura Shore
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE DUA LIPA! everybody keeps saying it isn’t a good tiny desk concert because she is too stiff, but music is music people, so close your eyes and listen to the music!!! Everybody is different and Dua Lipa just doesn’t have the kind of energy that I guess people are looking for here. I don’t think that takes away from her beautiful voice and her songs at all.
