Lipa recently unveiled details of  ‘Radical Optimism’, which will arrive on May 3 and is made up of 11 songs, including lead single ‘Houdini‘ and the recently released ‘Training Season.’ You can pre-order/pre-save ‘Radical Optimism’ here.

A statement about the album said: “Inspired by Dua’s own self-discovery, ‘Radical Optimism’ is an album that taps into the pure joy and happiness of having clarity in situations that once seemed impossible to face. The hard goodbyes and vulnerable beginnings that previously threatened to crush your soul, become milestones as you choose optimism and start to move with grace through the chaos.”

The album is said to also be inspired by the energy of Dua Lipa’s London hometown and the “rawness, honesty, confidence and freedom of ‘90s Britpop.”

Lipa recently revealed that she wrote 97 songs for her third album and had called the record “psychedelic pop-infused”, citing Primal Scream, Massive Attack, Oasis, Blur, Moby and Gorillaz as influences.

She has also said that she attempted to “capture the essence of youth and freedom and having fun” on the follow-up to 2020’s ‘Future Nostalgia’.

At the BRIT awards earlier this month, Lipa opened the show with a performance of  ‘Training Season’. The musician took away an award for best ‘Pop Act’ on the night.

In other news, Lipa was announced as one of the three headliners – alongside Coldplay and SZA – for this year’s Glastonbury festival
