I confess that I have never heard of this woman !

In order that I may win some credit with my nieces, how is her name pronounced ?

[NoMercy]

Doo Ah Leep Ah

Due a Lipa
almost as it;s written. Check out her song New Rules and starting humming to them. Or tease them by saying to them "I got new rules, I'll count 'em"

[fiction-factory]

This is probably her best in my opinion

Having said that i only know 3 of hers!

Thanks NoM.....I thought it might be but you can't be entirely sure with foreign names !

I have just looked her up, and it appears that her parents came from Kosovo.

Yes, NoMercy 's pronunciation seems better,

[NoMercy]

You're welcome. It's a very Latin sounding name so, contrary to popular belief, the first syllable should be pronounced "Doo" rather than "D.yoo"

Let's hope she's every bit as good as Paloma Faith.
