With one of the biggest releases of the year, Dua Lipa has just dropped her newest album ’Radical Optimism,’ and it is a masterpiece.

It’s a huge day in the music world as pop superstar Dua Lipa has officially released her highly anticipated album, ‘Radical Optimism.’ The album is the 3rd full body of work in the 3x GRAMMY winner’s career following ’Dua’ in 2017 and ’Future Nostalgia’ in 2020. With tracks such as the iconic ’Houdini,’ ’Illusion’ and ’Training Season’ as well as others such as ’Falling Forever,’ ’Anything For Love’ and ’Happy For You,’ it is one of the best dance-pop albums of the last few years and was worth every second of waiting.

‘‘I wrote this album during my singledom. I always came into the studio with some funny story, and they all inspired different songs. There’s a looseness and an honesty that I hadn’t had before.‘‘

Inspired by Dua Lipa’s own self-discovery and speaking to the joy of having clarity in tough situations, ’Radical Optimism’ is a visionary triumph. It unlocks all the senses and allows you to escape the world once you hit play. It’s a pop masterpiece that keeps you on your toes for the entirety of the 11 tracks. Dua characterizes Radical Optimism as “psychedelic pop,” highlighting its musical interludes and eclectic blend of sounds. She suggests that closing your eyes while listening unveils a vivid, visual realm. The album draws from Dua’s personal journey of self-discovery, celebrating the profound delight and contentment found in overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Dua has already announced her first run of tour dates in support of the album in Berlin, Pula and Nimes. She is set to host and perform on Saturday Night Live on May 4th and will have her Pyramid Stage debut at Glastonbury on June 28th.
