Full interview coming soon

 

 

I can't wait to find out what music her parents listened to while growing up next album cycle

Great interview about RO here: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/dua-lipa-interview-radical-optimism-details-cover-art-1234988518/

 

 

Tell me about this album cover.

Every photo [this era] looks like it was taken in a different scenario, but they all represent the same thing. The picture for “Houdini,” for example, was very self-reflective, looking at myself and appreciating where I am, who I am, and what my worth is.

And then “Training Season" is me on scaffolding in a very uncomfortable position, but looking very calm. I feel like that resonated with the song. It resonated also with the idea of this radical optimism while being in uncomfortable situations, but being graceful in the process. And this [cover image] shot in particular, remaining calm near a shark, is a massive juxtaposition. 

 

 

Is there one song on the album that you see yourself coming back to a ton?
So many. I feel like “These Walls" was one that I kept coming back to. “End of an Era" because it was just the maddest one when we were mixing it. I listened to that one over and over again. “Illusion" just puts me in a really good mood. “Maria,” it's a fun one, but it feels very mature to me. See? Now that the title's out, the songs aren't, so I'm also trying to figure out how to talk about it. “Maria,” to me, feels very mature in the sense of growing and seeing relationships from a different perspective. I love that one. “Anything for Love" is a personality piece, just really letting you into a studio session.

"letting you into a studio session" sounds like it's just a short freestyle

 

She's giving us AOTY i fear

 

 

Both singles back to 2.5M+ update

 

 

I still thing "Chaos Theory" would be better title, even based on her explanation ... each time she mentioned chaos

It sounds like she had a lot of fun recording this album

i have a feeling that maria is going to be the best song on the album

will be going back to this post on may 3rd to see if i was right (unless i forget)

Her naming half of the album as her faves and she didn't even include the singles. This AOTY

Chaos Theory >

 

Unquestionably

But people told me she couldn't sell and all of her songs are carried by playlisting and tth. Her so-called flop era….

Is the album going to survive….i mean the singles aren't doing Amazing numbers?

Define survive lol.   This album ain't debuting #1 in the US even w/ Taylor's third week.    Honestly will prob debut at or slightly above Future Nostalgia.

She was asked one song and she mentioned half the album, lol. (yes, I read that she said "So many".

 

Great read. And seems like the promo has begun with this and the Billboard interview.

 

There will probably be (TV) performances announced and magazine covers unveiled in the coming weeks.
