Dua Lipa Won’t Fall for an ‘Illusion’ on New Single
Dua Lipa continues rolling out 'Radical Optimism' with her most rave-y single yet, "Illusion."
Like the album’s previous singles “ Houdini ” and “ Training Season, ” “Illusion” is a big, bold dance track tapping into some of the psychedelic and rave influences that inspired her latest LP. Lipa first started rolling out her new album in November with the release of “Houdini.” In an interview with Rolling Stone earlier this year, she revealed that Radical Optimism would be a tribute to UK rave culture, culling inspiration from acts like Massive Attack and Primal Scream while she sings about her experience exiting a long-term relationship and being single again. “I want to capture the essence of youth and freedom and having fun and just letting things happen, whether it’s good or bad,” she explained of the “raw” new album.
