British-Albanian singer Dua Lipa has released her new single and music video “Illusion” from the highly-anticipated third studio album, "Radical Optimism".
This is the third single to arrive from the pop star's forthcoming album "Radical Optimism" following “Houdini” and “Training Season.”
Dua first announced "Radical Optimism" in March, simultaneously sharing its cover and tracklist. “Illusion” is the seventh title on the May 3-slated record, in between “French Exit” and “Falling Forever.”
“[Releasing the album] feels good. It feels for lack of a better word — radically optimistic,” Lipa previously said of her upcoming project, before explaining the idea behind the album cover, which features the singer floating in a wide open ocean facing a shark fin.
“Throughout the whole record, there’s this idea of chaos happening around and me trying to push through it in a way that feels authentic and honest to me,” she added.
As to how she got the album title, the British artist attributed the phrase to a friend “A couple years ago, a friend introduced me to the term ‘radical optimism,’” she said in a statement announcing the album back in March. “It’s a concept that resonated with me, and I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life.”
The 11-track "Radical Optimism" — Lipa’s first proper LP since 2020’s "Future Nostalgia" — arrives May 3.
