Dua Lipa – Radical Optimism

[Juan Carlos]

Dua was interviewed by The Wall Street Journal, giving details about her forthcoming album. This in an extract of the aforementioned.

She has been with Mick Jagger in the studio.

Even more funkier? Whew🔥

[Juan Carlos]

Kevin Parker?!?!? OMG! I need this to be true.

[Au$tin]

I could totally see her nailing a more funk inspired sound. Something in the vein of Hailee Steinfeld and Anderson .Paak's "Coast" meets Lizzo's "Everybody's Gay" meets Kendrick Lamar's "King Kunta." Throw in some 70s rock elements a la Mick Jagger, and you've got yourself one hell of a sound there that her voice and persona would fit nicely into.

Dua got her Albanian citizenship.

As much as I love FN, my one big complaint with it is that it didn't make use of her deeper vocal range  too much outside of some songs like Love Again, so I hope this next album era offers more of that. I fell in love with her cause of her rich deep vocals on stuff like Hotter Than Hell, New Love, and Last Dance (the last of those still being my top favorite from her altogether).

She confirmed there is a title and she won't tell us because it'll give it all away.

[Koochie]

Based on what we know, I'm getting Plastic Hearts vibes, leaning more toward the lighter notes.

I still wish she released the original version of Love Is Religion, Ball and Chain, and the Normani version of If It Ain't Me.

Based her comments about going home to finish the album, hopefully we have a single by Spring.

[Choco]

I'm gonna guess a single will not be coming until summer-ish and the album might be a Q4 release. That or she follows the Future Nostalgia model and drops a single towards the end of the year and the album in 2024.

My expectations are sky-high.

[spiritboy]

I am really excited by the news but usually when i'm excited about a project, it disappoints me so we'll see. Hope she'll deliver though.

[Relaxing Cup]

I love her song “Future Nostalgia”

[Mike]

I don’t really know what to expect. I love FN but didn’t like any of the songs she released after. Hopefully the new album is a different sound and not as generic as what she served after the original FN album.

[wjr15]

I’m looking forward to seeing where Dua goes with this new album. FN is the best album of the decade, so the bar is set high. I think she would kill it with a more funk-leaning sound. Her last album launched her into superstardom, so I’m excited to see how her next album elevates her even higher.

[born]

I'd rather get a noisier/pop rock album than a funk pop album tbh! Still, excited to see what she's gonna come up with. Hopefully it won't be out before next fall. Future Nostalgia ruled for over two years. She deserves a break.

[HamedM1 💔]

Well this happened somehow even after the meh song he titled after her but good for them I guess.

In a completely unrelated note, I'm still pressed they never finished and officially released this bop after teasing it at her Studio 2054 thing, its better than most of the songs that ended up making CAPRISONGS.

G-funk masterpiece please.

Dua Funk Waves Vol 1.

I need a new Dua album by next summer at the very latest. Next spring would be ideal.

[nightshade]

I want her to do Coachella and release the album the week of or the week before. I know it may seem too soon but I'd love it.

OMG that would be amazing. Other than Frank Ocean, I have no idea who will be playing, but I would love to see Dua again. Last time I saw her, she was a nobody.

Announced as one of the co-chairs of this year's Met Gala.
