• 25 - ‘Levitating’ by Dua Lipa and Modular Melodic Personalities

  Are we shining just the way we are? Here we piece apart Dua Lipa’s 2020 dance-pop gem “Levitating” and see how much the writing process matters. Mark stacks up the idea that this song’s melody seems to be built of tiny lego bricks rearranged in an infectious pattern. Meanwhile, Nichole relates this way of looking at things to personality trait theory - can Mark accurately self-diagnose his personality type or is it just wishful thinking?Other music heard in this episode: Dua Lipa - "Don't Start Now", Devo - "Whip It", Nirvana - "On a Plain", Philip Glass - “Dance 1” from "Einstein on the Beach", Cory Day - "Wiggle and Giggle All Night", Artikal Sound System - "Live Your Life"Send us your thoughts at [email protected] Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
