]]>Lipa’s new music video was shot at the Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc in Barcelona, and director Tanu Muino helped her bring her vision to life. A group of synchronized swimmers joins Lipa as she dances her heart out in several lush outfits, while singing about falling for an illusion.
In an official statement announcing this song, Lipa said “Illusion” is all “about knowing what you’re getting yourself into, but staying for the hell of it.” It was the first song she co-wrote alongside Caroline Ailin, Danny L. Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr., and Kevin Parker, and she felt her new album was finally coming together after they came up with it.
“Illusion” is the third single from Lipa’s upcoming album Radical Optimism, which was inspired by “the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm.” It will be released on May 3, and it was also preceded by singles “Houdini” and “Training Season”.

]]>Coldplay’s return marks a historic moment for the festival, as they become the first act to headline Glastonbury five times. Their past performances in 2002, 2005, 2011, and 2016 still haven’t been forgotten, and their upcoming set will be one of the highlights of their ongoing Music of the Spheres World Tour.
Dua Lipa and SZA also add a historic twist to this year’s Glastonbury, which will mark the first edition of this festival with two female headliners. They’ll both have new music to promote – Lipa is gearing up for the release of her third studio album Radical Optimism, while SZA has been teasing the reissue of her hit sophomore album SOS, titled Lana.
Glastonbury will take us back to Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset between June 26-30. LCD Soundsystem, Burna Boy, Shania Twain, Idles, The National, Camilla Cabello, Anne-Marie, Janelle Monáe, and Avril Lavigne are some of the performers set to grace the stage this year.

]]>Dua Lipa first started teasing Radical Optimism last fall, when she gave us the first taste of her new sound with the lead single “Houdini”. Its release was later followed by the second single “Training Season”, which she teased with a powerful performance at the Grammys.
We now finally know that her third studio album will be called Radical Optimism. She was intrigued by this concept after a friend of hers mentioned it a few years ago and she was struck by “the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm.”
Lipa also revealed she was exploring the music history of psychedelia, trip-hop, and Britpop while working on this album, and they served as her main inspiration because she’s always been drawn to their confident optimism.
Radical Optimism will be released via Warner Records on May 3. It will feature 11 songs, including “End of an Era”, “French Exit”, “Anything for Love”, and “Happy for You”.

]]>The post Dua Lipa Drops Electrifying Music Video for “Training Season” appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>Lipa’s latest music video was directed by Vincent Haycock, and it perfectly captures the song’s lyrics. After listening to a series of apologetic voicemails from her past suitors, Lipa is seen sitting at a café on her own. Everything spins around her while her suitors try to get her attention, but with little success.
Lipa wrote this song alongside Caroline Ailin and Tobias Jesso Jr., drawing inspiration from a string of bad dates she had to deal with in the past. She came out stronger on the other side and said she never felt more confident, clear, and empowered once she reached the point where she realized that the training season was over.
“While it may be that training season is never over for any of us, you start to see the beauty in finding that person to experience it with. You stop looking for the trainees and become more interested in having someone where you are and someone to grow with,” said Lipa in a statement.
“Training Season” will be featured on Lipa’s untitled third studio album, along with the previously released lead single “Houdini”.

]]>Eilish already has seven Grammys under her belt, and she received an additional six nominations at this year’s ceremony. “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie earned her five nods alone, including song and record of the year.
The three-time Grammy winner Dua Lipa also owes her most recent two Grammy nods to the Barbie movie. She’s in the running for song of the year and best song written for visual media with her disco-inspired bop “Dance the Night”.
The fellow three-time Grammy winner Olivia Rodrigo is coming into this year’s Grammy Awards as one of the main contenders, with an impressive six nods. She scored nominations for album of the year with Guts, plus song and record of the year with its lead single “Vampire”.
The 2024 Grammy Awards are set to take place on February 4, and the rest of the performers will be announced in the coming weeks. SZA will enter the ceremony as the front-runner with nine nominations, followed by Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers, and Serban Ghenea with seven each.

]]>Lipa hits the dancefloor in Manu Cossu-directed visual for “Houdini” and we get to watch her rehears an elaborate choreography with her backup dancers. They’re busting their best moves under fluorescent lights, while mirrors around them create magical optical illusions.
In an official statement about “Houdini”, Lipa said that this song “represents the most light and freeing parts of [her] singledom”, adding it explores the idea of whether someone is really worth your while or if you’ll ghost them in the end.
“Houdini” was released as the lead single from Lipa’s third studio album, and she told the radio station WECB that she’s looking forward to experimenting with fresh news sounds on this record.
“After being on tour for a whole year I fell in love with everything that live music brings, so I wanted this new album to convey that feeling and sound. So it has a lot of live instrumentation, a lot of psychedelic influence and, at the same time, it’s a pop record,” Lipa explained.

]]>Earlier this month, Lipa’s fans predicted she was gearing up for a new era after she wiped her Instagram profile clean – and it turns up they were up to something. The singer went on to share several clips teasing new music, but promptly deleted them all before dropping the final piece of the puzzle – the teaser for her new single “Houdini”.
Lipa has yet to officially confirm the title of her next song, but her clip featured several references to the famous magician. The teaser hit the shelves on October 31, the anniversary of Houdini’s death, and featured numbers 4 8 9 9 14 15 21, which can be translated into letters of his name, and it shows Lipa holding a key between her teeth, referencing the method of escape that Houdini used most frequently.
“Houdini” is expected to be featured on Lipa’s third studio album, set to be released sometime next year. It will serve as a follow-up to her career-defining record Future Nostalgia, which produced hit singles “Don’t Start Now”, “Physical”, “Break My Heart”, and “Levitating”.

]]>Like the rest of The Weeknd’s discography, After Hours is the perfect mix of pop and R&B and it’s going to be the first album that we remember when we look back on 2020 in the future.
Taylor Swift’s surprise albums Folklore and Evermore are tough to place in a single genre because they walk the fine line between folk-pop and alternative rock—and that’s exactly their charm.
Dua Lipa served some major disco-pop vibes on her career-defining album Future Nostalgia, and almost every song from this album became an instant hit that we couldn’t help but listen to on repeat.
Lady Gaga’s long-awaited sixth studio album finally hit the shelves this year, and it was an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish.
BTS set many major records in 2020 and proved themselves as A force to be reckoned with. Be was their second no. 1 album of the year, and it produced the chart-topping singles “Dynamite” and “Life Goes On”.

Dua Lipa charted at no. 4 with her new LP Future Nostalgia, and it was a big triumph for the “New Rules” singer. This is her highest-charting album in the US so far since her debut record only reached no. 27 on Billboard 200 chart back in 2017.
Billboard Hot 100 didn’t experience a significant shakeup this week, and the top three spots remained unchanged. The Weeknd topped the chart with “Blinding Lights”, Roddy Ricch was right behind with “The Box”, while Dua Lipa came in third with “Don’t Start Now”.
