‘Radical Optimism’ builds on the success of ‘Future Nostalgia’ while showcasing a more mature side.
Dua Lipa’s ‘Radical Optimism’ may not be the deep, philosophical meditation the singer’s interviews suggested, but that’s no strike against it.
Instead, it’s a triumph of energetic pop, focusing on infectious melodies and a relentlessly positive vibe that’s sure to get listeners moving.
After the runaway success of ‘Future Nostalgia,’ this follow-up album finds Lipa confidently refining her dance-pop sound.
She teams up with a talented crew of collaborators to create a vibrant sonic landscape, evident in tracks like “These Walls” and the French-infused “Illusion.”
Lipa’s vocal performance stands out, showcasing a newfound depth and expressiveness. This is particularly noticeable on “Falling Forever,” where her vocals soar over a galloping rhythm.
While fans have criticised some of the rollout choices and singles, songs like “Training Season” and “Illusion” ultimately contribute to the joyous, carefree energy that defines ‘Radical Optimism’.
Lipa’s lyrics reveal a vulnerability alongside her characteristic confidence, notably in songs like “Anything for Love” and the standout track, “These Walls.”
‘Radical Optimism’ may not venture into complex social commentary like some of her peers, but that’s precisely its strength.
Lipa delivers a pure pop experience designed to be enjoyed, not dissected for deeper meaning. Sometimes, the best thing a pop record can do is make you dance – and this album certainly delivers on that promise.
