"Fever" is a song by English and Albanian singer Dua Lipa and Belgian singer Angèle from the French edition of the former's second studio album, Future Nostalgia (2020). The song was written by the singers alongside Caroline Ailin, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Julia Michaels and the sole producer Ian Kirkpatrick. It was originally intended to be placed on the standard edition of the album as a solo version by Lipa. The song was released for digital download and streaming on 29 October 2020, through Warner Records as a single. It is a dance-pop, deep house and nu-disco song with 2000s Eurodance elements and a disco-pop production that features Afrobeat-tinged synth-pop beats. Lyrically, the song uses a metaphor of infatuation to demonstrate a sickness and addresses the excitement of being with someone where one almost develops a fever, with the two singers acting as counterpoints to one and other.

The sultriness of "Fever" was complimented by music critics, as well the blend of Lipa and Angèle's vocals. The song topped both the Ultratop Flanders and Wallonia charts of Belgium, while also reaching the summit of France's SNEP singles chart. It tied "Hello" by Adele as the longest running number one single in the Wallonia region of Belgium. It further reached the top 10 of charts in Hungary, Romania and Switzerland as well as peaking at number 79 on the UK Singles Chart and number 69 on the Billboard Global 200 chart. The song was awarded a triple platinum certification from the Belgian Entertainment Association (BEA) and a diamond certification from the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP) in Belgium and France, respectively.

The music video for "Fever" was directed by We are from L.A. and filmed in London. It was built around a concept that women need to avoid danger in the streets by being home at a certain time, but have safety when around other women. The video features Lipa and Angèle spending the night exploring the streets of the city following a night out at a club. Several critics commended the visual for being an escape for viewers from the COVID-19 pandemic. Lipa and Angèle promoted the song with performances at the former's Studio 2054 livestream concert and at the 2020 NRJ Music Awards. Remixes by Oklou, Feder, Myd and Vantage were released for further promotion.

Background and development

"Fever" was written by Dua Lipa, Angèle, Caroline Ailin, Ian Kirkpatrick, Jacob Kasher Hindlin and Julia Michaels, while the production was handled solely by Kirkpatrick.[2] Lipa originally intended to place a solo version of the song on Future Nostalgia, but thought that its "lithe" tropical beat did not fit the album's sound. She decided to save the song for a later release.[3] Following Future Nostalgia's March 2020 release, Lipa decided to contact Angèle's manager via email to send "Fever" to her and arrange a collaboration. Angèle was surprised when Lipa contacted her as she was a big fan of her work; she decided to respond saying that she was up to do the collaboration. Lipa discovered Angèle after her manager showed her the singer's music video for "Balance ton quoi" (2019), which she adored, while Angèle discovered Lipa through the internet and her single "New Rules" (2017). The two also had used the same choreographer.[4][5][6][7]

The singers had been friends on social media prior to the collaboration and often sent one and other dog videos. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Lipa and Angèle were unable to meet in person, but worked from a distance while Lipa was in the United States and Angèle was between Belgium and Paris. They communicated through SMS to talk about ideas for the song and Angèle also proposed changes, including incorporating a keyboard. Angèle worked with Tristan Salvati and added French lyrics, and even got Lipa to sing in the language. The artists both described "Fever" as a blend of their styles.[4][5][6] The song marks Angèle's first participation in an international song.[8] "Fever" was recorded at Zenseven Studios in Los Angeles and Studio La Vague in Paris with the vocals being recorded at TaP Studio in London. Josh Gudwin mixed the song at Henson Studios in Hollywood while Chris Gehringer mastered it at Sterling Sound in Edgewater, New Jersey.[2]

In Rolling Stone, Brittany Spanos and Althea Legaspi complimented the song's sultriness and how Lipa and Angèle's vocal intertwine with one another. They additionally noted how their vocals complement the song's "steamy sentiment" and "seductive" beat.[48] Chris Murphy of Vulture also commended the song's sultriness.[24] Writing for the Evening Standard, Jochan Embley noted Lipa's departure from the disco-pop of Future Nostalgia, calling the song a "tantalising taste" of Lipa's future work.[16] Mike Wass of Idolator viewed "Fever" as a "bilingual bop" and commended the "catchy" chorus and "elegant" middle eight.[14] The staff of Wonderland noted Lipa's Kylie Minogue, Elvis Presley and Peggy Lee influences, seeing the song as a "slow burner" that is "all things sultry, hot and utterly atmospheric at the same time".[10] In his review of Angèle's second studio album Nonante-Cinq (2021), Edward Pomykaj of Pitchfork named the song an "anxiety-ridden love song" that is driven home by the two singer's "brief but necessary" counterpoint to one and other while also mentioning that "it encapsulated the emotional breadth possible within nu-disco".[11]

Music video

Background

The music video for "Fever" was directed by We are from L.A. and filmed in London during October 2020. The video was shot over the course of three days, all night shoots,[26][70] and filming the video was first time Lipa and Angèle met in person. Its concept is built on the stereotype of how women have to be home at a certain time to avoid the dangers of the street, but having a safety element when surrounded by other women.[4] The visual has an all women cast.[6] On 15 October 2020, British tabloid The Sun reported that Lipa had "flout[ed]" national rules associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, claiming that the set was interrupted by the police after noise complaints. Lipa later denounced this by threatening to take legal action against the tabloid, who she did not mention by name.[71][72] The Sun later issued an official apology to Lipa for any distress they caused her. They confirmed that no COVID-19 rules were broken and that the police were called due to an unrelated noise complaint.[73] The music video premiered via YouTube on 6 November 2020.[74] It was prefaced by a live chat with both Lipa and Angèle on the platform.[75]

Synopsis

The video opens with a point-of-view shot of Lipa running out of a club, followed by Angèle, from the perspective of a taxi's backseat. Lipa wears a red leather jacket with blue jeans and black boots, while Angèle sports a red and black plaid jacket with a matching tank and black pants. Lipa calls out "taxi" before running up to the cab and requesting to be taken to Camden. The driver accepts and Lipa hops in the backseat, but Angèle asks Lipa to walk around with her instead of going home. Lipa is suspecting at first but eventually agrees to and apologizes to the taxi driver. The two begin walking and dancing around the rain-soaked London streets. Lipa then calls out Angèle's name and the two go into a takeaway restaurant, where they order chips and eat them with ketchup. The other people in the restaurant dance as Lipa and Angèle sing towards the camera. The two head back onto the streets, with Lipa hanging from a street pole at one point. They are passed by a police car which features another point-of-view shot from its backseat. As Lipa attempts to make a call, both Angèle and the cop give one and other dirty looks and the police cars' blue lights flash on Lipa and Angèle. They are then seen running beside graffitied walls.[76][77][78]

In the next scene, Lipa and Angèle are at a train station waiting for a train. Angèle asks Lipa how her dog Dexter is, to which she responds that he had to stay in America due to the fact that her boyfriend Anwar Hadid had to work and that he needed to be neutered. Lipa then asks Angèle how to say "neutered" in French and Angèle responds with the word "castré". As this is happening, the song is playing over the speakers. The singers then dance on the deserted platform, with clips of them on the camera system. Lipa and Angèle make their way to a quiet neighborhood where an old woman gives them a dirty look. As the two progress through the neighborhood, they are invited by two girls to a party in the apartment of some unknown people. While on their way there, Lipa, Angèle and the two girls sing the latter's French lyrics of the song live in a hallway, before a woman comes out of her apartment and yells at them for not being residents of the building they are in and being too loud. The fellow party-goers sit in the room looking at a computer, smoking and drinking as Lipa and Angèle dance in the middle of the room. When the party is over the two leave the apartment in a dazed trance with their arms around one and other. The video closes with the singers entering a fish market singing Angèle's French lyrics live.[76][77][78]

Reception

Writing for Vogue, Manon Garrigues viewed the "Fever" music video as "lively and cheerful", while also assuring that it will "warm the hearts" of fans during the COVID-19 pandemic.[79] The staff of L'Officiel praised the visual for being "four minutes of freedom to escape" and thought it represents what everyone wants to do while stuck in the pandemic lockdowns.[80] In his review for Billboard, Gil Kaufman wrote that the video reminded him of "the good ol' days" where people could go to bars, walk the streets and figure out their messy lives until morning.[81] Rolling Stone's Angie Martoccio noted that the visual features Lipa and Angèle "immersing themselves in London nightlife",[82] while Rhian Daly of NME saw the plot as a "journey" between the two artists,[83] and The Fader's Sajae Elder said they variate between each "after-hours stop" and named the apartment party a "lively house jam".[84] The "Fever" music video was nominated for Best Color Grading in a Video at the 2021 UK Music Video Awards.[85]
