Dua Lipa covered a different local artist's song every night on her 2025 world tour — 60+ songs, 16 countries. Today we tell the full story: her career, her sampled songs, and the covers that had already hit #1 in the US.What if a pop star committed — every single night, across 16 countries — to covering a different song by a local artist? Not as a gimmick. As a love letter. That's exactly what Dua Lipa did on her Radical Optimism Tour in 2025, and it became the most talked-about live music moment of the year.In this episode of Uncovering the Cover, Diego Pinzón digs deep into the full story: Dua Lipa's journey from the daughter of Kosovo Albanian refugees to one of the most streamed artists in music history. The three massive hits in her catalog that openly borrowed from music history — "Love Again" (a 1932 trumpet), "Break My Heart" (an INXS interpolation), and "Cold Heart" (built on Elton John's Rocket Man). And the extraordinary cover tradition on the Radical Optimism Tour, where she performed "Hey Jude" in Liverpool, "Nothing Compares 2 U" in Dublin, "Hey Ya!" in Atlanta, "No One" in New York — songs that had already conquered the US on behalf of their home countries.Plus: the night in Mexico City where 65,000 people heard her sing "Bésame Mucho." The duet with Lenny Kravitz at MSG. The emotional final night tribute to Selena. And the burning question: will there ever be a covers album?This episode is the story of what happens when the greatest cover tradition in modern pop history meets the woman bold enough to make it happen every single night.📱 Follow Uncovering the Cover:Instagram: [@uncoveringthecover]TikTok: [@uncoveringcover.podcast]Website: [pinzondiego.com/podcast]CREDITS:Host, Producer, Editor: Diego PinzónSUPPORT THE SHOW:If you enjoyed this episode:✅ Subscribe to the show✅ Leave a 5-star review✅ Share with a friend✅ Follow us on social mediaDISCLAIMER:The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the host and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any artist, label, or organization mentioned.
