Dua Lipa poses for a portrait to promote her new album"Radical Optimism" on Friday, April 26, 2024, in New York. NEW YORK -
“'Future Nostalgia' was my chance for me to be able to do a very polished pop-dance-disco record,” she says of her 2020 sophomore release. “Radical Optimism,” alternatively, was informed by what she's learned from touring the world over the last few years - drawing influence from trip hop and Britpop and including newfound interest in live instrumentation.
She's been working hard to get there. Lipa, now 28, began her career at age 15, when she convinced her family to let her move from Kosovo to London, where she was born, to pursue a pop career. She went to school, modeled, and in 2017 released her eponymous debut album with the blockbuster dance-pop hits “New Rules” and “One Kiss.” Then came the nu-disco electropop of 2020's “Future Nostalgia,” which solidified her status as one of pop music's biggest players.
That experimentation appears across Lipa's endeavors, too. She's acting more - “little baby roles!” she says with a smile - after playing Mermaid Barbie in the blockbuster “Barbie” and LaGrange, a sultry spy in “Argylle” . “That was scary, and really exciting,” she says. “You never really know what to expect when you go in to interview someone.”
