Even when the mood dips, you can expect Dua Lipaâs euphoric pop to land back on the bright side eventually. âIâve always seen the positive side of things, of being able to grow and move forward and change your perspective regardless of whatâs happening in your life,â she told Apple Musicâs Zane Lowe in 2024. Empowerment for both herself and for other women has always been central to the blockbuster singer-songwriter. Born in London to Kosovar Albanian parents in 1995, Lipa immediately stood out with her 2017 self-titled debut, thanks to the triumphant breakup smash âNew Rules,â the self-love anthem âIDGAF,â and the assured âHotter Than Hellââmaking it clear that this was no ingĂŠnue, but rather an outspoken, effortlessly cool face of popâs future. Making history as the first female solo artist to receive five BRIT Award nominations, Lipa soon added several Grammy Awards to her mantelpiece and jumped dramatically to the next level with 2020âs Future Nostalgia, a uniting force of positivity released at the dawn of global lockdowns.
Her breezy confidence has made her a versatile collaborator with everyone from DJ superstar Calvin Harris to country singer Chris Stapleton, and her Barbie-inspired 2023 hit âDance the Nightâ built naturally upon the savvy disco revisionism of Future Nostalgia. By the time of 2024âs Radical Optimism, Lipa had her absolute pick of creative partnersâand she chose Tame Impalaâs Kevin Parker, whom she had fantasized about working with ever since being âcompletely shookâ by Tameâs 2015 opus Currents. Also in the mix were songwriting guns Tobias Jesso Jr. and Caroline Ailin and a timely assemblage of inventive producers. If Radical Optimism is more textured and nuanced than Future Nostalgia, singles like âHoudiniâ and âIllusionâ retain the glide and snap of classic dance pop, while the lyrics probe deeper into her own personal experience. That gives Lipaâs newer material a mounting sense of being forged in the fire of heartbreak and healing, bringing the unmistakable glint of honesty to diva-level pop radiance like âFalling Forever.â
