the kosovar pop powerhouse returns with aplomb! 'radical optimism' is packed to the sonic rafters with veritable bangers that are going to be swimming around your noggin well into the summer, soundtracking barbies, beach boozing, and reckless bashes - basically all of the halcyon days you can imagine.
inspired by dua’s own self-discovery, 'radical optimism' is an album that taps into the pure joy and happiness of having clarity in situations that once seemed impossible to face. the hard goodbyes and vulnerable beginnings that previously threatened to crush your soul, become milestones as you choose optimism and start to move with grace through the chaos. 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 rich in musicality, lyrically unapologetic and sonically liberating.
