Dua Lipa’s ‘Radical Optimism’: All 11 Tracks Ranked
Dua Lipa's 'Radical Optimism' songs are ranked. See how Billboard placed each song of her follow-up to 2020's 'Future Nostalgia.'
As she playfully put it on Radical Optimism ‘s second single, “training season’s over.” She told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that, for her, maturity in love means that you learn your “non-negotiables” and how to healthily move on. While Lipa’s vocal talent is indisputable, “These Walls” strips back her typically dance-heavy melodies just a notch to let the natural emotion of her voice come through. The driving beat, ’80s-inspired synths and the brain-tickling way she sings “Houdini” combine to create an undeniably catchy hook that Dua is particularly masterful at — representing both a continuation and growth from Future Nostalgia.
