Dua Lipa has announced her third album.
'Radical Optimism', the follow-up to 2020's 'Future Nostalgia', will be released on May 3. It saw the Grammy winner working with producers Caroline Ailin, Danny L. Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr. and Kevin Parker., and drawing from a wealth of influences, as she explained:
“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.”
The 11-track record will inlude her latest singles, Houdini and Training Season. Head below to check out the album's artwork and tracklist.
The singer, who this year took home the BRIT Award for Best Pop Act, has just been announced as a headliner for this year's Glastonbury festival. She'll also top the bill at a number of European festivals this summer, including Madrid's Mad Cool, Belgium's Rock Werchter, Nos Alive in Portugal, and Poland's Open'er Festival.
