Inspired by Dua’s own self-discovery, Radical Optimism taps into the pure joy and happiness of having clarity in situations that once seemed impossible to face.

Infused with the energy of Dua’s hometown, London, the attitude of the album embodies the rawness, honesty, confidence and freedom of ‘90s Britpop.

Radical Optimism transports its listener to a dreamy pop world that is rich in musicality, lyrically unapologetic, and sonically liberating.

Dua shared: ‘A couple years ago, a friend introduced me to the term Radical Optimism.

‘It’s a concept that resonated with me, and I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life.

‘It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm.

‘At the same time, I found myself looking through the music history of psychedelia, trip hop, and Britpop.

‘It has always felt so confidently optimistic to me, and that honesty and attitude is a feeling I took into my recording sessions.’
