Radical Optimism is the third studio album by English-Albanian singer Dua Lipa, released on May 3, 2024, by Warner Records. It is her first full-length studio album release in four years since Future Nostalgia (2020). Lipa worked on Radical Optimism with producers such as Kevin Parker, Danny L Harle, Ian Kirkpatrick, and Andrew Wyatt. The album was preceded by three singles: “Houdini”, “Training Season”, and “Illusion”.
Radical Optimism received generally positive reviews from critics upon release. Most reviewers praised the album’s neo-psychedelia, but some found it less radical than it could have been. The album will be supported by The Radical Optimism Tour, which will start in June 2024.
