Dua Lipa announces her third studio album, Radical Optimism
GRAMMY and BRIT Award-winning artist Dua Lipa has announced her highly-anticipated third album, Radical Optimism.
“A couple years ago, a friend introduced me to the term Radical Optimism. It’s a concept that resonated with me, and I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life,” Dua shares. “It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm. At the same time, I found myself looking through the music history of psychedelia, trip hop, and Britpop. It has always felt so confidently optimistic to me, and that honesty and attitude is a feeling I took into my recording sessions.”
Radical Optimism will include previous singles, "Training Season", and "Houdini", and is the follow-up to 2020's Future Nostalgia. On the forthcoming album, Dua worked with a team of core collaborators including Caroline Ailin, Danny L. Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr. and Kevin Parker.
