Grammy award-winning music artist Dua Lipa will be releasing her third studio album ‘Radical Optimism’ on 3rdMay.
On her podcast Dua Lipa: At Your Service, Dua claimed the album was 50% completed and she had decided on the name of her album in March of 2022. ‘Radical Optimism’ takes a similar direction sonically to Dua’s previous release ‘Future Nostalgia’ with influences from 70s psychedelic pop and Britpop. This can be heard in the two leading singles of the album ‘Houdini’, released on 9th November 2023, and ‘Training Season’, released on 15th February 2024.
‘Houdini’ kickstarted Dua’s new era with an upbeat and cheeky dance track which sets the tone for the fun and freeing feeling that ‘Radical Optimism’ aims to capture. The music video has striking choreography which was performed live in Dua’s electric performance medley of ‘Houdini’ and ‘Training Season’ at the 2024 Brits.
Voted the Best Pop Act of 2024 at the awards, Dua Lipa will go on tour this Summer with Glastonbury being a stop on her tour. Dua will be headlining alongside acts like Coldplay and Shania Twain on the iconic Pyramid Stage.
