We wanted more and got it. Dua Lipa is extending each track on her newest album for an iconic release of Radical Optimism (Extended).

The English-Albanian singer and songwriter is known for her incredible voice, popular pop projects, and powerful stage presence. Using her platform to promote her stances and inspire others, she stands as a strong female icon.

She continues to impress old fans while garnering a larger audience through new iconic releases and performances, such as her recent Saturday Night Live performance following the new album.

Lipa began May with an iconic release of her album, Radical Optimism, giving her fans the perfect summer tracklist. Although she incorporated elements similar to those of previous projects, including impressive vocals and catchy beats, this album dove deeper into her capabilities as an artist and producer.

Even the cover art revealed it all, giving summer sunshine and power all in one depiction. With storytelling lyrics and entirely new rhythms, the album quickly became a huge success.

This fan understands the hype exactly, with the car karaoke of Lipa’s hit song Houdini.

For the production of Radical Optimism, Lipa teamed up with Andrew Wyatt, Danny L Harle, and Ian Kirkpatrick, alongside artist Kevin Parker, also known as Tame Impala.

Parker, known for his musical skills on and off the stage as a producer, singer, and songwriter, perfectly tailored 8 tracks to Lipa’s style while including the iconic rhythm featured in Tame Impala. These tracks wowed fans of both artists, showing the abilities of the entire team behind the magic. Lipa owned the unique style, and the project was released better than ever.

With only a month since the release of Radical Optimism, Lipa didn’t waste any time and is now hours away from giving fans more of the songs they know and love. We could not be more excited for the musical magic in store.
