Radical Optimism: A philosophy that argues for looking at the good in every part of life, based on reason and evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

After months of cryptically teasing \u2018DL3\u2019\u2014that is, Dua Lipa\u2019s upcoming third album\u2014the British-Albanian songstress has finally unveiled the album title, cover art, tracklist and release date for the new record.<\/p>\n

As all 88.6 million of her Instagram fans woke up to this morning, Lipa has officially entered full-promotion mode, switching out her cherry-red-haired display picture for a blissful image of her engulfed in water<\/a> to encapsulate the tone of the impending release.<\/p>\n

Titled Radical Optimism<\/em>, the eleven-track long play will feature all new material, including the psychedelic disco-influenced \u201cHoudini\u201d<\/a> and dancefloor-ready \u201cTraining Season\u201d, and be released to eager audiences on May 2.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the sonic landscape of the record, Lipa revealed she was drawn to the nostalgic sounds of 90s Britannia and underground musical movements like trip-hop. (The latter is a downtempo, dreamlike variation of hip-hop popularised by artists like Portishead and Massive Attack.)<\/p>\n

However, it was the philosophy of the album\u2019s title that truly inspired the direction of the hip-shaking, heart-pounding. Read on ahead for everything to know about Radical Optimism<\/em>, from the album title meaning, the musical influences, subtle hints about the lyrics in the song\u2019s titles and the day the album will be available to blast from every sound system.<\/p>\n

What Is The Meaning Of Dua Lipa\u2019s New Album Title, Radical Optimism<\/em>?<\/h5>\n

Radical Optimism<\/em> is a paradigm that encourages a view of the world that seeks to find the goodness in it. \u201cA couple years ago, a friend introduced me to the term Radical Optimism<\/em>. It\u2019s a concept that resonated with me, and I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life,\u201d Lipa explained in a statement accompanying the album announcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt struck me \u2013 the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm,\u201d she added. \u201cAt 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
