Fever (Feder Remix) by Dua Lipa & Angèle, in Alexandra Road Estate by Neave Brown, 2018 RIBA gold medal

Fever is one of the last singles of the British, Dua Lipa. On this occasion, it has the collaboration of Angèle, a singer of Belgian origin. The video was shot, in part, in an area of London known for its distinctive brutalist architecture, the Alexandra Road Estate designed by architect Neave Brown, who won the RIBA gold medal in 2018.

Dua Lipa and Angèle sing in both English and French respectively, where the lyrics seem to metaphorically describe a sick love. While the British woman develops an attitude of force or even belief, the French woman seems to be dejected before a hurtful love.

Fever's visual aesthetic seems to recall the music videos of the early 2000s. An aesthetic that is enhanced by the dancer rhythms typical of this era. However, they wanted to show a reality that, at present, has been gaining weight in social awareness: the fear of a woman when returning home alone after a night out. They both walk through the streets of London while dancing and laughing.

The story continues with the protagonists in a train station and later accompanying other girls where they finally seem to celebrate a party in the apartment of one of them. Here they dance among themselves while the rest liven up the party. Once they leave there, the video ends with the scene of the two goings home together while singing.

Lyrics.-

Before you came around, I was doin' just fine
Usually, usually, usually, I don't pay no mind
And when it came down, I was lookin' in your eyes
Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly I can feel it inside

I've got a fever, so can you check?
Hand on my forehead, kiss my neck
And when you touch me, baby, I turn red
I've got a fever, so can you check? (I've got a fever)

Peut-être qu'avec du temps, ça partira
Et pourtant, et pourtant, et pourtant, je ne m'y vois pas
Comme un médicament, moi, je suis rien sans toi
Et je sais quе j'essaie, que jе perds du temps dans tes bras

I've got a fever, so can you check?
Hand on my forehead, kiss my neck
And when you touch me, baby, I turn red
I've got a fever, so can you check?

Car dans mes yeux, ça se voit
La fièvre dans les yeux, oui, ça se voit
Mon cœur se serre, j'ai du feu dans la voix
Le plus souvent, c'est quand je pense à toi

I've got a fever, can you check?
Hand on my forehead, kiss my neck
And when you touch me, baby, I turn red
I've got a fever, so can you check?

Car dans mes yeux, ça se voit
La fièvre dans les yeux, oui, ça se voit
Mon cœur se serre, j'ai du feu dans la voix
