Dua Lipa, the chart-topping global pop sensation, has just unveiled her much-awaited third album, Radical Optimism. Featuring 11 electrifying tracks including the rave-worthy ‘Illusion’ and the club-ready anthem ‘Houdini’, this album is a journey into Dua’s world of catchy beats and honest storytelling.
“I wrote this album during my singledom,” Dua says. “I always came into the studio with some funny story, and they all inspired different songs. There’s a looseness and an honesty that I hadn’t had before.”
Collaborating with a stellar team including Caroline Ailin, Danny L. Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr., and Kevin Parker, Dua describes the album as “psychedelic pop”, boasting a mix of sounds that create a vibrant and immersive listening experience.
In addition to her album release, Dua Lipa will be giving away free ice cream (well, not personally, but you get the gist). you can score yourself some from 12pm-3pm at:
Friday 3 May @ Emerald Square, Burwood
Saturday 4 May @ Peryman Square, Cronulla
Fans can also catch Dua Lipa live on tour, with dates already selling out in Berlin, Pula, and Nimes in June. Plus, she’ll be headlining the iconic Pyramid Stage at this year’s Glastonbury Festival in June and performing at London’s Royal Albert Hall in October.
