Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia LP
KDO: Jedna z nejvýraznějších tváří na britské popové scéně. Narodila se v Londýně, ale pochází z rodiny etnických Albánců, kteří v devadesátých letech utekli před válkou z domovského Kosova. Koncem roku 2015 ji britští odborníci nominovali v anketě BBC Sound Of 2016 mezi patnáct největších hudebních nadějí pro nadcházející měsíce a jejich očekávání zpěvačka splnila už vydáním singlu Be The One, s nímž uspěla i u nás. Na sklonku roku 2016 se její jméno dostalo také na tříčlenný seznam nominovaných na cenu britských kritiků vyhlašovanou jako součást Brit Awards. V roce 2018 se zapsala do historie britských výročních cen jako první žena, která získala pět nominací. Dvě z nich (Zpěvačka roku, Objev roku) dokázala proměnit.
CO: Future Nostaliga je druhé studiové album anglické zpěvačky a skladatelky Dua Lipa z roku 2020. Mezi producenty alba jsou například Stuart Price, Andrew Wyatt, Skylar Monez či TMS. Jako první singl vyšla skladba Don't Start Now.

Lilibet: The Girl Who Would be Queen
celebration of the life of Queen Elizabeth II, showing us that the Queen's qualities of duty, self-sacrifice and love of country were present in her from an early age.
'The moments in life of "knowing". On Bognor Beach, with Grandpa England, she had "known" that he, and Papa, and she, would carry something on, something given, something bigger than themselves.'
Lilibet: a carefree child, a lover of horses and dogs, devoted to her family. And the girl who would be Queen.
A.N. Wilson, one of England's most beloved writers, imagines the Queen reflecting on her early life. We watch as she discovers, at the tender age of ten, that she is heir to the throne. We witness her meet the dashing Prince Phillip of Greece, who she loved steadfastly from the age of fifteen, and see their friendship blossom into passionate love. Above all, we learn of her astonishing sense of vocation and public duty, which grew during the dark years of WWII and her father's subsequent years of ill health.
Honouring the life of Her Majesty the Queen and her illustrious reign, Lilibet: The Girl Who Would be Queen is by turns funny, tender and heartfelt.
