Radical Optimism

HMV exclusive which included a hand-signed A4 poster.

Inspired by Dua’s own self-discovery, Radical Optimism is an album that taps into the pure joy and happiness of having clarity in situations that once seemed impossible to face. The hard goodbyes and vulnerable beginnings that previously threatened to crush your soul, become milestones as you choose optimism and start to move with grace through the chaos. Infused with the energy of Dua’s hometown, London, the attitude of the album embodies the rawness, honesty, confidence and freedom of ‘90s Britpop. Radical Optimism transports its listener to a dreamy pop world rich in musicality, lyrically unapologetic and sonically liberating. The 3x GRAMMY and 7x Brit Award-winning global pop powerhouse worked with a team of core collaborators throughout the project including Caroline Ailin, Danny L. Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr. and Kevin Parker.

Set to be released 5 days after the original album, the Japanese Edition of Dua Lipa’s 3rd album Radical Optimism adds live London Sessions versions of “Houdini”, “Training Season”, and “Illusion”.

Saxophonist and composer Immanuel Wilkins’ third studio album, Blues Blood, offers a meditative listening experience inspired in part by his youth, about the legacy of our ancestors and the bloodlines that connect us. Co-produced by Meshell Ndegeocello, and featuring Micah Thomas on piano, Rick Rosato on bass, Kweku Sumbry on drums, and vocalists Ganavya, June McDoom, and Yaw Agyeman, with special guest appearances by vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant, guitarist Marvin Sewell, and drummer Chris Dave, Blues Blood marks the first time Wilkins has included vocalists on an album, with each of the distinctive voices tapping into different aspects of heritage. The album explores “blues” as a symbol of radical optimism in the face of adversity, and “blood” as a symbol of all that is ancestral and generational.
