Pretty funny that Dua Lipa is so opposed to this when her entire catalogue sounds like blatant ripoffs of other people's music.

It's pop electric music. Idk what you expect from it. But a quick look at her history shows she does a lot of collabs with different people and has at least one number one album. For what's that worth. Your comment just sounds like a high schooler upset that people like other types of music.

My favorite part of her wiki page is this:

"Genesis" quotes and gets its title from the first book of the bible, which it shares a name with.

You're going to waste your time criticizing something like this?

Yes, that's definitely it, rather than the multiple lawsuits and claims of plagiarism she has faced over the years.
