That’s exciting news! Dua Lipa always brings something fresh to the table with her music. “Radical Optimism” sounds like it’s going to be an uplifting and empowering album. Can’t wait to hear it!
“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,” Lipa, 28, said in a statement.
“It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm.”
The “One Kiss” singer then teased various genres she’ll explore on the album:
“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.”
Dua Lipa’s recent singles sound like they’ve been making waves on the charts! It’s impressive that she performed them at the Grammy Awards. And writing 97 songs for “Radical Optimism” shows her dedication to crafting the perfect album. Can’t wait to see what else she has in store!
“I started writing for this album in 2021, and I just wanted to write my ideas down,” Lipa said on the talk show last month.
“So, I went down to CVS, and I just bought a random notebook. Had I have known how important that book would’ve been, maybe I would’ve gotten a more fancy one.”
It’s interesting to hear about Dua Lipa’s unconventional source for her songwriting materials.
It just goes to show that inspiration can come from unexpected places. And having 97 songs to choose from for the album definitely shows her commitment to creating a diverse and dynamic collection of music.
