Dua Lipa’s ode to joy 🦈

Dua Lipa's latest album comes as a beacon of ‘radical optimism’ inviting listeners to dance through their struggles and embrace the beauty of life's highs and lows.
 

From the vey first note, it's clear that we have take a leap from Future Nostalgia, her 2020 smash hit. Electronic beats and funky bass-lines will have you busting non-stop. The album is like a treasure of joy, offering everything from pulsating drums of a dance anthem (“These Walls”) to the soulful bird sounds on “Happy for love””s ballad.
 

The theme of this album is very clearly a choice from the singer to shine a light on the beauty amid existing chaos. Her lyrics are a celebration of love, resilience, and self-discovery. With the opening track, Dua Lipa encourages listeners to be their own person and move on from the past “this could be the end of an era”, followed by a great spoken bridge (what can she not do?)!
 

Bye bye to the moody and vintage undertones of the singer’s last projects and say hello to a vibrant palette of colours that scream optimism. Every inch of this project feels inspired by a sense of joy and possibility, that you can feel in her latest music video shot in the iconic Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc in Barcelona:
 

Oh, and did you catch the nod to Miley's joyous album from last year? It's like a secret handshake between two queens of positivity!
 

Radical optimism is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we have the power to choose joy, to find beauty in the chaos, and to keep dancing, even when the world tries to bring us down.
