The stakes are undoubtedly high following Dua Lipa‘s most successful era to date – the timeframe that bolstered her sophomore album, ‘Future Nostalgia,’ and its history-making singles ‘Don’t Start Now,’ ‘Levitating,’ and more.
Rising to the challenge, Lipa lifted the lid on a trio of critically acclaimed singles, ‘Houdini,’ ‘Training Season,’ and ‘Illusion,‘ to build anticipation for her May 3-released third studio effort – ‘Radical Optimism.’

– Writing for Evening Standard, El Hunt says that “Radical Optimism, despite having a title that sounds like an inspirational fridge magnet, boasts some real dance-pop gems which belong right at the top of her output”, but adds that it’s a “slightly half-hearted experiment.”
– For the Financial Times, Ludovic Hunter-Tilney noted that “there’s a lot of production layering and effects, but the songs share a similarly straightforward groove.”
– Aimee Phillips of Clash lamented “I can’t see Radical Optimism sliding in straight to number one in fans’ affections, but if the slow-burn of Future Nostalgia is anything to go by, Dua Lipa would have grounds to be, as her latest project suggests, radically optimistic about the album’s future.” DIY writer Lisa Wright remarked that “on her hugely-anticipated third, there’s plenty of sun-drenched sonic optimism but not so much that’s all that radical.”
– In The Line of Best Fit, Claire Biddles said “In her [Dua’s] dance-pop singles, she’s proven that she can do the “pop” part, but the “star” is still lacking.” Writing for NME, Thomas Smith wrote that “perhaps it’s unfair to hold Lipa too strongly against what might have been a throwaway comment in a profile too literally, but Radical Optimism offers little else to latch on.”
Conclusion : Deception
not Copy & paste from wiki. lol Go buy the album before talking mo s***
“not Copy & paste from wiki. lol” and? If that forbidden?
“Go buy the album before talking mo s***” I didn’t need to buy the album to listen to it, my impression has the right to be the same as the critics. You’re mad about it? IDGAF, keep crying and next time think twice before talking s***

U broke ass ho got no brain. I got my own house! You will never! 😘
It’s weird her songs weren’t big in the states since the singles were great songs. Overall the album is dope and she has an ear for melodies and catchy songs.
Excellent work Team Dua; thank you to her personally for showing love to children and students in the development of this album.
Do it! Queen Dua! Taylor and Beyonce, go hide!
Taylor and Beyoncé last albums outsell Dua’s last mediocre album easily, go cry!
Dua is from UK. Taylor and Beyonce are from US. US people are racists and has bigger market. See the difference? genius
And still Beyoncé and Taylor outsell Dua in UK 😂😂😂 CRY ABOUT IT BOZO 🤡
She’s going to flop so hard lol
like your saggy pancake breast
That’s just you in the reflection of the mirror Mr.Ling
