"We say" castrate "in French" ... The video for "Fever" is online

Dua Lipa and Angèle, behind the scenes of the filming of the music video for Fever.

-

“It was my last outing, my last 'party', I won't soon forget!

», Angèle confided to

, referring to the filming of the video of

, his duet with Dua Lipa.

"What shows in the clip is real, nothing is played - well obviously there are things that are played, but nothing is exaggerated, it's very natural", she also said .

Everyone will now be able to judge, the result having been posted online this Friday afternoon.

In this film, directed by Pierre Dupaquier and Clément Durou - directors, among others, of the

video

by Pharrell Williams -, the two singers appear as night owls in the streets of London.

They come out of the party and are getting ready to go home… or to continue the party elsewhere.

From the paved arteries of the English capital to the metro and the brutalist architecture of the Alexandra Road Estate, in the district of Camden, the two artists perfectly recreate the nightly recreations of which the - necessary - sanitary constraints have deprived us for many weeks.

"We played this fantasy of outings that we knew, when we party with our best friends, that we fully live the moment, without anything else mattering", summed up Dua Lipa during that on this side of the Channel, the prefect of Center-Val de Loire thundered: "La bamboche, it's over!"

".

Butcher's shop

In addition to this particular atmosphere of fleeing night trips, what is striking in this clip is the absence of men.

Among the extras, there are only ladies.

"Being surrounded by women makes situations so much safer, especially in the evening," Dua Lipa told

on this subject

.

Things are so much easier and more carefree because you don't have to worry about other factors.

I'm not saying it happens every night, but it's very common for something to happen or being whistled on the street ruining your evening.

"

The clip emphasizes with causticity its feminist subtext by suggesting, halfway, a discussion between the two star friends.

The Briton lets go that her Dexter must "get his balls cut."

"We say" castrate "in French", answers the Belgian before the music resumes ... May the inquisitors in misandry be reassured: the Dexter in question is Dua Lipa's dog and this exchange thus sends a nod to the obsession of the two singers for their doggies.

“A running gag,” says Angèle.

Well, it's true, the last shot ... cutting edge remains heavy with meaning.

But this “butcher's shop” brings a touch of subversion to this much less smooth collaboration than some would hasten to assert.
