Dua Lipa’s ‘Radical Optimism’ 

The British singer Dua Lipa has become one of the world’s biggest pop stars. Now, she’s back with Radical Optimism, a sort of concept record about moving through life with a more mature and constructive attitude. But it’s also a pretty straightforward collection of grievance-free, hyper-catchy bangers.

In many ways, Radical Optimism feels like the older sister to Future Nostalgia. She’s smarter and knows better than to let a relationship get the best of her, but she’s still a hopeless romantic that’s holding out for that forever love she’s looking for — all while making fans dance with an infectious disco-pop beat.
