      I love the sound of this track too and it was great to come across this video. Wiki says it was mixed by Serban Ghenea. This guy has compiled a youtube video about Ghenea's vocal chain or at least what he thinks it is based on different bits of info. ua-cam.com/video/xjk_Mw11Iug/v-deo.html
      You can also get a similarly present vocal sound by using the old trick of an 1176 compressor followed by an LA-2A compressor. You can absolutely smash a lead vocal with an LA-2A, it pins it to the front of the mix but doesn't sound overly compressed. The 1176 is first in the chain set to knock down the faster, louder peaks by a few dB because the LA-2A is too slow to catch those and will still be releasing before the next fast, big peak comes in. Then with the signal smoothed out by the 1176, the LA-2A does a really nice job of the main compressor in a really organic sounding way. Maybe you already know this trick but if not, it's a good one.
      I love the Universal Audio LA-2A silver for this, it's an amazing sounding vocal compressor and right now it's on sale at Plugin Boutique for $29. You get 3 LA-2A's, one of them being the LA-2A Silver which has the ideal release time for vocals. The cheapest I've ever seen these things go for by a mile. I think I paid $129 for mine and that was after stalking them on various holiday sales for a couple of years. Usual price is $299 :) Universal Audio has now started selling some of their plugins in the "Native" format, meaning you don't need to own their hardware to run them. The LA's are one of the Native releases.

I have no idea why it was removed and why the single and the move versions are different, no one seems to have noticed.

    I didn't know much about Dua Lipa or that she was a "huge star". I just accidentally heard the song on Spotify while listening with headphones. I had to stop and bookmark it. I've since discovered all her songs are actually really well-composed. All the layering, chord progressions, great harmonies, and the songs are "tight" like a classic 1960's pop hit. Zero fat on her songs. There's a big difference between this song and every other pop song out there today, miles of difference.

    what amazes me is that in the movie they were all dancing around to a song which did not yet exist, and then these two made the song. Quite cool!

    I hear Donna Summers MacArthur Park extended version in the instrumentals. Took a few listens to remember it. The audacious vibe of both are present. It's not the notes but the crazy energy and the layering.
    Great song Mark. Yanked me back to the dance floor.

    there is a rule at the oscars that says only 2 songs from a movie can get nominated for best original song. i hope to god that dance the night and what was i made for get nominated, not i'm just ken. ryan gosling has gotten way more attention than the women involved for a movie that's supposed to be celebrating women. let's not let it happen with the songs too.
