Dua Lipa has once again captivated her fans with the release of her latest single, ‘Illusion,’ from her highly anticipated album, ‘Radical Optimism.’
Just a month shy of the album’s release, Lipa treated fans to a taste of what’s to come with the sunny vibes of ‘Illusion,’ accompanied by a visually stunning music video directed by Tanu Muino. Shot at the picturesque Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc in Barcelona, Spain, the video showcases Lipa’s undeniable talent alongside dancers, high divers, and synchronized swimmers, reminiscent of the iconic visuals from Kylie Minogue’s ‘Slow’ video.
Sharing insights into the creation of the track, Dua Lipa revealed that ‘Illusion’ marked the beginning of her collaboration with Caroline Ailin, Danny Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr., and Kevin Parker. The song explores the theme of knowingly entering into something with full awareness, yet choosing to stay for the thrill of it. Lipa describes it as the exhilarating experience of playing along with someone’s game, knowing that in the end, the illusion won’t fool you.
Dua Lipa’s New Single Illusion
‘Illusion’ follows the success of Lipa’s previous singles, ‘Houdini’ and ‘Training Season,’ both of which have made waves on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. With her album Radical Optimism set to drop on May 3rd, Lipa expresses her excitement for this new chapter in her musical journey, describing the feeling as ‘radically optimistic.’
The album cover itself speaks volumes about Lipa’s outlook, depicting her floating in an expansive ocean, confronting a shark fin with determination. This imagery symbolizes her resilience in the face of chaos, striving to navigate through it with authenticity and honesty.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind the album title, Lipa credits a friend who introduced her to the concept of ‘radical optimism’ a few years ago. Intrigued by the idea, Lipa found herself drawn to its empowering message, incorporating it into both her music and her life.
With Radical Optimism offering 11 tracks of Lipa’s signature style, fans can expect a journey filled with infectious beats, heartfelt lyrics, and a sense of empowerment. As the countdown to May 3rd begins, Lipa’s latest single “Illusion” serves as a tantalizing preview of what’s in store.
