SATB
Music & Text: Ian Kirkpatrick, Emily Warren, Dua Lipa, & Caroline Ailin
Nominated for three GRAMMY® Awards (Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance), Dua Lipa's hot hit is easily called “nu-disco”—a pop genre inspired by '70s disco and '80s electronic dance music. This track boasts a percolating funk bassline with strong synth chords, dynamic string bursts, and that signature cowbell in the chorus. As an option, feature a confident alto soloist at the beginning and toward the end of this perky post-breakup song that celebrates newly found independence.

Developing a cappella groups will be obsessed with this Tones and I tune, which leaves listeners wanting more!

Bryan Sharpe's awesome 3-part mixed arrangement features a soloist (or small group) on the main line, includes a fully notated vocal percussion part, and captures all the pulsating dance energy of the indie-pop original. “Dance with me, dance with me!”

Not sure who's gonna love it more, the kids or the parents! “Hahahaha, wipe out!”
