The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Musics Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. Its the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space.
Dec. 4, 2020 | Abby ONeill — 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 cant film our Tiny Desk concerts at NPRs 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. Its been extraordinary to witness her colossal takeover of the pop music landscape. Dua sums the times during her intro of «Love Again»: «Its about manifesting good things into your life, when things arent quite going your way.»

Лучшие подруги Миа и Мел (Тиффани Хэддиш и Роуз Бирн) ведут превосходную жизнь, управляя собственной косметической компанией, пока беспринципная и коварная особа – магнат индустрии красоты (Сальма Хайек) – не замышляет отобрать у них компанию. Когда ее злокозненный план заставляет лучших подруг отдалиться друг от друга, Миа и Мел начинают понимать, что единственный способ переиграть ситуацию и вернуть себе компанию, – это держаться вместе. Будьте начеку: индустрия красоты того и гляди обернется своей самой уродливой стороной.
