Dua Lipa has been dropping hints about her third studio album for quite some time, and she finally shared the final piece of the puzzle. The Grammy winner announced that her next album is hitting the shelves this May, and it will be called Radical Optimism.

Lipa has been teasing her next era for a few months, and it was just a matter of time before she officially announced its release. That moment is finally here, and her third studio album Radical Optimism is coming out on May 3 via Warner Records.

In addition to sharing its title and release date, Lipa also posted the album cover which shows her in the middle of an ocean, just feet away from a terrifying shark. She opted for the title Radical Optimism because this concept resonated with her after she learned about it from a friend a few years ago.

“It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm. At the same time, I found myself looking through the music history of psychedelia, trip-hop, and Britpop. It has always felt so confidently optimistic to me,” she explained in a statement.

Lipa also shared a full tracklist of her new album featuring 11 songs, including previously released singles “Houdini” and “Training Season”.
