On March 13, Dua Lipa announced Radical Optimism, her third studio album. At the time, she explained the title’s meaning in a statement.
“A couple years ago, a friend introduced me to the term ‘Radical Optimism,’” she said. “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.”
Soon, Lipa’s listeners will be able to fully grasp what she meant.
