Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music After months of it simply being called “DL3,” Dua Lipa has revealed the title, cover, tracklist and release date of her third full-length album.Titled “Radical Optimism,” the album will be released May 3 and consists of 11 songs, including the two preliminary singles, “Houdini” and “Training Season.” In an intriguing twist on the title, the cover art features the singer in the water, just feet away from a shark.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Few artists have ever fused pop and dance music as fluidly as ABBA, and their influence is writ subtly but large on Dua Lipa’s new single “Training Season” — previewed during her performance at the Grammy Awards earlier this month — the second from her still untitled forthcoming third album. Driving but not as in-your-face as its predecessor “Houdini,” the song struts along on a powerful disco beat, with a melody that swerves into almost Middle-Eastern scales, reminiscent of ABBA’s biggest disco hit, 1978’s “Voulez-Vous.” While the influence there is subtle, it’s unmistakable, and is driven home later in the song with piano flourishes that recalls ABBA keyboardist Benny Andersson’s on many of the group’s hits, most famously “Dancing Queen.” It’s the best kind of tribute: nothing overt, but a sly, fun wink for fans who notice it.

Dua Lipa has shared that her upcoming “psychedelic-pop-infused” album was inspired by the likes of Primal Scream and Massive Attack.The pop singer previously opened up about the album’s sound in an interview with iHeartRadio, and said that the new record will have a “psychedelic throughline”.“All other songs on the album are quite different, but they do have a very psychedelic throughline overall,” she said. “‘Houdini’ has so much electronic variety, but at same time it has a lot of interesting instrumentation and feels very organic as well…that’s something I really wanted to convey on the album.”Now, in a new profile with Rolling Stone, the ‘Dance The Night Away’ singer revealed more of the influences for her LP.In the profile, journalist Brittany Spanos wrote that Lipa referred to the album as a “psychedelic-pop-infused tribute to U.K.

Cook has released a sputtering new single ‘Silver Thread Golden Needle’ – Check it out below.The English music producer and founder of the former label, PC Music, rang in the new year by sharing ‘Silver Thread Golden Needle’, a nearly 10-minute long track that features sputtering and buzzing sounds against a pop beat.Directed by Lena Weber and Aaron Chan, the song’s accompanying visuals see pixelated versions of objects such as chairs, vases, teapots, teacups and more trembling along to the beat of the track.

Charli XCX has revealed that she has been working on new music with her fiancé – George Daniel of The 1975.The pop star opened up about her plans for new music during a new podcast interview, and confirmed that she has enlisted the help of her fiancé for some of the upcoming tracks.“We’ve done a couple of things together. We’ve got a few ideas in the works,” she told the Sprout Podcast, revealing that she has already been in the studio to record some tracks for her next album.“It’s funny, I have never been in a relationship with someone that I’ve worked with, so it’s like a whole new dynamic, but it’s cool,” she added.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music The path from TikTok phenom to career artist is a challenging one, and while Victoria Beverly Walker — a.k.a. 22-year-old British singer-songwriter PinkPantheress — has navigated it far better than most, a big test comes with “Heaven Knows,” her first conventional full-length album.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music After the long life of Dua Lipa’s 2020 sophomore album “Future Nostalgia” — which was pandemic dance therapy for so many — there’s been a hot remix album, a year-long world tour, a global hit single with Elton John and her effervescent single from “Barbie,” so it really doesn’t seem like Variety‘s 2022 co-Hitmaker of the Year been absent.
