What is Radical Optimism about?

According to PopBase, Dua Lipa revealed that her album Radical Optimism might take a grander picture of “music history” through the ages.

Here is what she said about the project: “It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm. At the same time, I found myself looking through the music history of psychedelia, trip hop, and Britpop.”

On social media, the pop singer gave further insight into the project through behind-the-scenes footage from the recording studio. “Every song kind of has that struggle and you kind of make it something optimistic,” she said. “Radical optimism is something that was always at the top of my mind.”
