Dua Lipa was planning her third album before her debut. The \u2018Illusion\u2019 hitmaker is set to drop new LP \u2018Radical Optimism\u2019 on May 3, and the idea of the record being produced by Tame Impala\u2019s Kevin Parker goes back to before she finished work on her 2017 self titled LP.
Dua, 28, told Time100 magazine: \u201cI remember when I was working on my first album, I was making notes on what my third album was going to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s mad to think about, but I remember speaking to my close friend and A+R Joe, \u2018Maybe album three, I could work with Kevin Parker\u2019, and he was like, \u2018Alright, hold your horses, let\u2019s take baby steps.\u2019 \u201c
However, Dua was already full of ambition and was planning for her first two albums to prove she was \u201cdeserving to be in a room\u201d with someone respects \u201cso deeply\u201d.
She added: \u201cSince I was very little, I\u2019ve jotted down things I dreamt for myself. I\u2019ve always planned ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlthough surprises arise that I evaluate in the moment, there\u2019s always been a long-term goal.\u201d
She is a big believer in \u201cmanifesting\u201d your goals, and she encouraged people to write their dreams down to help make them come true.
She explained: \u201cIt\u2019s important to just write things down, you never know what could come true. Manifesting is a big thing for me.
\u201cSubconsciously, you just work towards them. Nothing\u2019s too big.\u201d
The singer and actress has evolved as an artist and person since her debut seven years ago, and her latest single is an example of that development.
Dua – who was named by Time100 as one of the most influential people in the world – noted she is \u201cdefinitely not the same person\u201d as she was when she wrote her first record.
She said: \u201cI\u2019ve evolved and learned so much, taking it as it comes, not seeing anything as bad or something as a setback.
\u201cThat involves a lot of growing and understanding myself, knowing my worth, whether it be in business, love, or friendship.\u201d
