Dua Lipa Dives into a Britpop Rave with “Radical Optimism”

KISS | March 14, 2024

Hold onto your Union Jack socks, Dua Lipa fans! The dance-floor queen just announced her new album, “Radical Optimism,” and it’s primed to be a full-on Britpop rave. We’re talking Oasis meets acid trip, with a healthy dose of Dua’s signature charisma.

Lipa described the album as a “psychedelic-pop-infused tribute to UK rave culture.” Prepare for anthems that would make Liam Gallagher nod in approval, all wrapped in shimmering production that wouldn’t be out of place at a club in the late 90s.

She’s already dropped two singles, “Houdini” and “Training Season,” and both are bangers that will have you wanting to break out your platform boots. The album hits shelves (well, virtually) on May 3rd, so mark your calendars and get ready to experience a whole new side of Dua Lipa.

Here’s what else we can expect from “Radical Optimism”:

  • A return to her roots: Lipa says the album draws inspiration from the energy of her hometown, London. Expect some quintessentially British vibes mixed in with the rave-ready sound.
  • Girl power anthems: Let’s face it, Dua Lipa can write a bop that will empower any listener. Expect a healthy dose of female empowerment alongside the Britpop beats.
  • A splash of surprise: The album cover art features Dua swimming with a shark (yes, you read that right). Will there be a song about facing your fears? We’ll have to wait and see!

So get ready to mosh, stomp, and maybe even do a bit of voguing when “Radical Optimism” drops. Dua Lipa is about to take us on a wild ride, and we wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
