Radical Optimism LP

Radical Optimism bends Dua Lipa's sound away from the disco pulse of Future Nostalgia and toward dance-pop streaked with neo-psychedelia, built with Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, Danny L Harle and Andrew Wyatt. "Houdini" topped charts across Europe on its own, and the album opened at number one in the UK, the strongest opening week for a British woman since Adele's 30, while landing at number two on the Billboard 200. Reviews ran mostly warm, though a few critics couldn't help measuring it against the album before it.
