Dua Lipa announces the title and release date of her album in a tiny silver bikiոi

Dua Lipa announced the name and the release date of her much-anticipated third studio album on Wednesday.

The three-time Grammy Award winner, 28, revealed the album will be called Radical Optimism and will be available to stream or purchase from May 3.

Radical Optimism has already spawned hit singles Houdini and Training Season. It will have 11 tracks in total.

The album has been described by Rolling Stone as ‘pop bliss’ with the magazine saying it is ‘uniquely and utterly Dua Lipa: confident dance pop full of witty Instagram-caption-ready one-liners’.

Radical Optimism follows Dua’s debut album Dua Lipa, released in 2017, and Future Nostalgia, released in 2020.

Inspired by Dua’s own self-discovery, Radical Optimism taps into the pure joy and happiness of having clarity in situations that once seemed impossible to face.

Infused with the energy of Dua’s hometown, London, the attitude of the album embodies the rawness, honesty, confidence and freedom of ‘90s Britpop.

Radical Optimism transports its listener to a dreamy pop world that is rich in musicality, lyrically unapologetic, and sonically liberating.

Dua shared: ‘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.

‘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.’
