WONGIE POP SONG OF THE WEEK: dua lipa - idgaf

dua lipa - idgaf
after the worldwide popularity of 'new rules' it was a no brainer to bring back director henry scholfield to come up with this dynamic 7th single (!!!) off of dua's debut album. throw in creative team mosaert (paul van haver (aka stromae!) and luc junior tam) dua's latest single comes with yet another creative fun visually catchy number that just adds to the already immediacy of the song itself. LOVE THIS!!!

REEEMIX!: stromae - ave cesaria (major lazer remix)

stromae - ave cesaria (major lazer remix)
though i still prefer the original, it's always nice to hear diplo and co do their magic on a track that you're familiar with. i wish there was more clever incorporation of the vocals, but this is a nice boogie for your day.

VIDEO PREMIERE: stromae - carmen
