The LP consists of 11 songs, including the singles Houdini and Training Season, and is accompanied by artwork showing Lipa in the ocean with a shark’s fin appearing above the surface.

According to an announcement, the record is inspired by the energy of the hitmaker’s hometown of London, along with the spirit of ‘90s Britpop.

 “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,” Lipa says. 

“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.”

‘Radical Optimism’ is available to pre-order now.

1. End Of An Era
