Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism Lyrics Are Made For Lovelorn IG Captions
There’s bliss in being a hopeless romantic.
Dua Lipa has retired her nu-disco nights at Club Future Nostalgia. She revived the dance floor during a time when the world was in isolation, creating an era that, only four years old now, is already considered a timeless classic. Now, Lipa’s moved on to a new nightclub: the oceanic blues of her latest album, Radical Optimism.
On Radical Optimism, Lipa surfs the complicated waves of love. She begins as a doe-eyed hopeless romantic on “End Of An Era,” its layered synths lifting her eagerness to trust her partner with ease. That honeymoon bliss doesn’t last long, however. Halfway through the album, cracks start to form in her relationship’s once sturdy foundation. Those fractures are too hard to ignore, and Lipa sweetly bids her partner farewell on the final track.
At some points, Lipa’s heartfelt lyrics could double as Instagram captions. Whether you’re soft launching a new relationship or deep in self-love, there’s enough material on Radical Optimism to suit your needs.
