Background

Dua Lipa's second studio album, Future Nostalgia , was released in March 2020 to widespread acclaim. [2] Credited as a significant factor in the revival of disco and dance-pop music in this decade, [3] the record yielded multiple singles including "Don't Start Now" [4] and the diamond-certified "Levitating". It won Best Pop Vocal Album and British Album of the Year at the 2021 Grammy Awards and Brit Awards ceremonies, respectively. [5] [6] Future Nostalgia was succeeded by a remix album and reissue. [7] [8] Lipa embarked on its namesake tour, which included 91 shows across the Americas, Europe, and Oceania, from February to November 2022. [9]

In 2023, Lipa revealed her third studio album would be released sometime in 2024 with a new sound that sees her moving away from the disco soundscape of Future Nostalgia; instead embracing more of 1970s-era psychedelia. [10] After having deleted all of her Instagram posts in October 2023, she revealed she had gotten her hair coloured red via a picture of herself captioned "miss me?". [11] In anticipation of new music, Lipa posted pictures to her social media with cryptic captions [12] and temporarily replaced the cover art of her previous albums with kaleidoscopic versions on streaming services. [13] In the cover story for the February 2024 issue of Rolling Stone , Lipa described her forthcoming album as a "psychedelic-pop-infused tribute to UK rave culture". [14]

Lipa announced her third studio album, titled Radical Optimism, and its release date, via an Instagram livestream on 13 March 2024. [15] The album is her first studio effort in four years, following Future Nostalgia. [16]

Conception

Radical Optimism is a record that "taps into the pure joy and happiness" of having clarity in situations, including "hard goodbyes and vulnerable beginnings" that eventually turned out to be milestones as a result of choosing optimism and grace to navigate "through the chaos". [17] The album is inspired by "the energy of [Lipa's hometown] London, and the rawness, honesty, confidence and freedom of 90s Britpop". [18] In a press release, she expressed her desire to "capture the essence of youth and freedom and having fun" with the record. The concept of the term "radical optimism" was introduced to her by a friend a few years prior, which resonated with her and allowed it to "weave" into her life. [19] Inspired by the term, Lipa found herself doing research on the history of "psychedelia, trip hop, and Britpop". The concept turned out to be a "confidently optimistic" feeling to the singer that she sought to incorporate in her recording sessions. [20]

Release and promotion

Radical Optimism will be released through Warner Records on 3 May 2024. [18] It will be available for streaming, digital download, cassette, CD, two box set variants, and two vinyl LP variants. [21] Pre-orders for the album began on 13 March 2024. [22]

Marketing

Lipa unveiled the album's cover, title and tracklist on 13 March 2024. [23]

Title and artwork

According to Lipa, the title Radical Optimism was inspired by "the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm". [24] The artwork of the album was unveiled along with its announcement. Shot by Tyrone Lebon, [25] it depicts the singer floating in an ocean and the silhouette of a nearby shark seemingly approaching her. [23]

Singles

The lead single "Houdini" was released on 9 November 2023, with its accompanying music video. [26] The song topped the charts in Belgium, [27] Bulgaria, [28] and Greece; [29] reached number two in the UK, [30] the top-ten in various countries, [31] and number 11 in the US. [32] It also topped the Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart for twelve weeks, [33] becoming her second-longest-running number-one on the chart. [34]

The second single "Training Season" was released on 15 February 2024. [35] It was issued for limited 7-inch vinyl, CD, and cassette formats. [36] "Illusion" was released as the album's third single on 11 April 2024. [37]

Live performances

Lipa opened the 66th Annual Grammy Awards on 4 February 2024 with "Houdini" and debuted then-unreleased "Training Season", along with "Dance the Night", a song for the 2023 film Barbie. [38] She performed the latter track again at the Brit Awards 2024 ceremony on 2 March. [39] Lipa will headline the 2024 edition of Glastonbury Festival in June [40] as well as Open'er Festival, Rock Werchter, NOS Alive, and Mad Cool in July. [41] [42] [43] [44]

She will also conduct a one-off concert on October 17 at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Fans who pre-ordered Radical Optimism were granted pre-sale access on April 10, followed by the general ticket sale on April 12 via Ticketmaster. [45]
