Dua Lipa Praises Brussels Record Store in Personal Travel Guide

British pop sensation Dua Lipa has included a Brussels record store in her curated Google Maps travel guide, highlighting Tropicall Records as a must-visit destination. The "queen of holidays" shared her personal recommendations, featuring the shop located on Hoogstraat in the Marolles district. Lipa specifically lauded Tropicall Records for its exceptional focus on tropical, African, and world music, noting that she hadn't encountered such a specialized selection elsewhere. She emphasized the "real expertise" behind the store's curation, calling it a place where "extraordinary things can be found" and "a spot for every record lover."

Staff at Tropicall Records were reportedly taken by surprise upon hearing the news. They expressed that while it is a "great honor" to receive praise from an artist of Lipa's caliber, the endorsement will not alter their established approach to business. "We will continue to do what we have always done," a representative stated, underscoring their dedication to their niche.

The inclusion in Dua Lipa's guide places the Brussels record store on a global map, potentially drawing international attention from her vast fanbase. The recommendation serves as a testament to the unique cultural offerings found within the Belgian capital, beyond its more widely known attractions.
