Dec. 15 marked the arrival of Dua Lipa’s orchestral concert special, An Evening With Dua Lipa, which she performed in the round at the Royal Albert Concert Hall Oct. 17. The special aired on CBS Sunday night, and it is now available to stream on Paramount+.

The “Dance the Night” singer performed songs from her most recent album Radical Optimism as well as some from previous albums — Future Nostalgia and her self-titled Dua Lipa. She performed “Cold Heart” with the one and only Elton John, who made an appearance at the concert hall to sing alongside Lipa, who changed outfits at this point in the show.

She spoke with Deadline about the specificity of the arrangements of her hit songs, which of course sound different stripped back, but retain the same sounds listeners are used to. Ben Foster conducted the 53-piece Heritage Orchestra that accompanied Lipa along with a 14-strong choir.

Dua Lipa will usher audiences into the holiday season with a night highlighting some of the work from her latest album, “Radical Optimism.”

The three-time Grammy Award winner will be accompanied by the Heritage Orchestra at London’s historic Royal Albert Hall. The 90-minute special will feature live performances of her pop hits, all reimagined.

“An Evening with Dua Lipa” was filmed on Oct. 17 in London, where the pop star is from. In addition to playing hits like “Don’t Start Now” and “Levitating,” and debuting some of her latest releases, Lipa will give an exclusive glimpse into her personal life and share anecdotes about her rise.

Grammy voting is underway, so we’ve been poring over submissions throughout the past few days. While Grammy pundits do our best to anticipate what artists and labels will submit, each year we get a few surprises, and the 2025 Grammys are no different.

SEEBeyonce Grammy submissions: 12 chances for nominations across pop, rap, country, Americana categories Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” in Song of the Year

Carpenter’s team had the difficult task of figuring out how and where to submit her multiple big hits. It seemed likely that the starlet would go all in on “Espresso,” arguably the most prominent of her hits, and submit it across the board. However, Carpenter’s “Please Please Please,” her first number-one hit, was her selection for Song of the Year. It’s likely that she is locked in for a nomination there regardless of her submission, so it’s nice to see...

Seether have announced their ninth studio album, The Surface Seems So Far, arriving September 20th. The lead single “Judas Mind” can be streamed now.

The news comes just a day after Seether announced a co-headlining US tour with Skillet (get tickets here). The trek is set to kick off just prior to the release of the new album on September 17th in Asheville, North Carolina. In addition, Seether are also set to make festival appearances at Louder Than Life and Aftershock.

The first tease of the LP, “Judas Mind,” is a surging post-grunge track that juxtaposes muted, melodic verses with raging choruses. The clean and potent production is a credit to studio vet Matt Hyde, who engineered and mixed the album alongside Seether frontman Shaun Morgan, who served as producer.

“‘Judas Mind’ is a song about reaching an understanding that there are bad actors in our...

Dua Lipa headlined the Glastonbury Festival on Friday night, and during her set she brought out Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker to join her on a pair of tracks.

During her main set, Lipa first welcomed Parker for a rendition of Tame Impala’s “The Less I Know the Better,” a track off the band’s 2015 LP Currents.

For Lipa’s final song of the evening, the Radical Optimism single “Houdini,” she was again joined by Parker, her co-writer and co-producer on the track, on guitar.

As Lipa told Rolling Stone...

John Cale is on a formidable hot streak in his 80s. When the Welsh avant-garde legend released Mercy last year, it was his first album in a decade. But he’s already produced another gem with POPtical Illusion, a masterful tribute to his bleak imagination. Six decades into his career, Cale is making music with a renewed sense of urgency—he hit a creative turning point in the pandemic, in a frenzy where he wrote 80 songs in a year. Yet he’s reached one of the most adventurous phases in his ever-eccentric career.

“If you’ve done things you’d wished you’ve never done/Think of the things you’re going to do tonight,” John Cale sings over bubbly synths on “Davies and Wales,” a track from his 18th studio album, Poptical Illusion. The Welsh musician has never shied away from playing with textures and sounds, exploring chamber pop, post-punk, R&b, and just about every genre in between. And each of the album’s songs feels like a kaleidoscope of sound that ebbs and flows between serene resonance and hauntingly frantic beats.

No two tracks on Poptical Illusion sound alike, paralleling the sense of change and uncertainty that informs Cale’s lyrics. Opener “God Make Me Do It (Don’t Ask Me Again)” introduces this concept—more like a fixation, really—with layers of digitized percussion, steady synthetic echoes, and Cale’s slow, deep vocals, while the hopeful “Edge of Reason...

Kevin Parker revealed Wednesday that he has sold his entire catalog — including his Tame Impala output as well as songs he has written for Dua Lipa, Rihanna, and more — to Sony Music Publishing.

Dua Lipa is having a fun weekend. On Friday, she unleashed her third studio album, Radical Optimism, and on Saturday, she pulled double-duty on Saturday Night Live, hosting and performing her songs “Illusion” and “Happy for You.”

Kicking off the show with a monologue that featured a shout-out to her parents and a display of her “radical optimism” for any situation, Lipa performed well throughout the episode, especially for her musical segments.

Introduced by Troye Sivan, Lipa delivered an upbeat rendition of the Radical Optimism single “Illusion” with the help of a tight ensemble and a crew of backup dancers. For her second song, Lipa pulled out the album closer, “Happy for You,” belting the climatic final chorus with passion. Watch videos of the performances below.

Dua Lipa joked around about the “give us nothing” meme while delivering her opening monologue on Saturday Night Live, but she gave her fans everything when it came time to perform as the musical guest.

The 28-year-old Radical Optimism pop phenom hosted and belted out her hits on the May 4 episode of the popular late-night show.

For the musical portion, she highlighted her creative range. First, Dua worked her way through a dance-heavy rendition of her single “Illusion,” complete with an extended dance break in the middle.

During her opening monologue on the show, the hitmaker also poked fun at the belief that she’s always on vacation.

“We’re freaking out a little … You just don’t know what to expect, but it’s gonna be fun,” Dua Lipa told SiriusXM Hits 1 about hosting and performing on “Saturday Night Live” tomorrow (May 4). “I’m ready, I’m prepped.”

Dua just dropped her third studio album, “Radical Optimism,” her first full-length release since 2020’s “Future Nostalgia.” The new album contains the singles “Houdini,” “Training Season,” and “Illusion.”

Speaking to the “Morning Mash Up” hosts, Dua shared a recent conversation she had with “SNL” writer Bowen Yang about the last time she went on the show. “During the dress rehearsal I was really, really nervous,” Dua said. “After the dress rehearsal, we sit in a room, and it’s the whole cast. Lorne [Michaels] comes in, and we’re talking about the skits — what’s good, what’s not, what we’re gonna change.”

Dua continued, “And at that point,...

Dua Lipa‘s third studio album has arrived!

Radical Optimism is packed with hits like “Illusion,” “Training Season,” and “Houdini,” as well as eight more tracks.

“I wrote this album during my singledom,” Dua said in a statement. “I always came into the studio with some funny story, and they all inspired different songs. There’s a looseness and an honesty that I hadn’t had before.”

Dua describes Radical Optimism as “psychedelic pop” noting that “there are musical breaks and a mix of different sounds, and when you listen to it with your eyes closed, it opens up a very visual world.”

You can catch Dua performing her new songs on Saturday Night Live when she pulls double duty as host and musical guest on Saturday, May 4.

Dua Lipa’s third album is almost here. She’s been teasing a new era since November, when she debuted “Houdini,” the first single from the long-anticipated project. In March, after weeks of speculation, she revealed the album title: Radical Optimism, which finally drops on Friday.

Lipa first shared details about the album when she spoke at length with Rolling Stone for a cover story that was released in January. Here is everything she told us about her new music and what we can expect from her Radical Optimism era.

Dua Lipa made music history this week ahead of the release of her new album!

The 28-year-old singer stepped and celebrated the news while attending the 2024 Time100 Gala on Thursday night (April 25) at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City.

Dua is on the list of the year’s 100 most influential people and she’s part of the “Artists” section.

One day earlier, Billboard announced that Dua had made music history on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

Dua is the first female artist to hold the No. 1, 2, and 3 slots on the chart with her songs “Illusion,” “Houdini,” and “Training Season” leading this past week. The only other artists to achieve the feat before are The Chainsmokers and Drake.

Fyi: Dua is wearing a Chanel dress.

Slash teams up with composer Bear McCreary for an epic new song “The End of Tomorrow” from the latter’s forthcoming album, The Singularity, arriving May 3rd.

The near-11-minute track opens with an instrumental orchestral intro before Slash’s guitar cuts through the mix. His tone and style are immediately recognizable, with McCreary entrusting the Guns N’ Roses axeman with the main melodic lines in the arrangement.

Bear’s brother, Brendan McCreary, contributes lead vocals to the track and assumes a prominent role, as the song traverses many movements and cinematic turns — not surprising given Bear’s background in film, television, and video game scores.

For those approaching the song via Slash’s notable guest spot — namely Gn’R fans — “The End of Tomorrow” immediately recalls “November Rain” in its maximalism and narrative weight, and the Use Your Illusion masterpiece was a direct influence according to McCreary.

Dua Lipa is opening up about her personal life.

The “Illusion” superstar spoke out in a new cover story for Elle, out now.

During the conversation, she spoke about the family tradition of clubbing, her love life and how it impacted “Training Season,” the power of manifestation, pursuing her music career in her teens, and being dubbed the “Vacanza Queen.”

“I already know your type, tellin’ me the things I like (Mm) / Tryna make me yours for life, takin’ me for a ride (Mm),” Dua sings. “I already know your type, think you playin’ your cards right (Mm) / Don’t you know I could do this dance all night?”

Like the album’s previous singles “Houdini” and “Training Season,” “Illusion” is a big, bold dance track tapping into some of the psychedelic and rave influences that inspired her latest LP.

The countdown to Dua Lipa’s third studio album Radical Optimism will continue with the release of its third single “Illusion,” out April 11. The album will arrive in full on May 3, but first the singer has some bluff-calling to do.

“Don’t you know I could do this dance all night?” Lipa asks in the snippet for “Illusion,” which features pulsating pop production. “Ooh, what you doin’? / Don’t know who you think that you’re confusing / I be like, “Ooh, it’s amusing” / You think I’m gonna fall for an illusion.

Singer-songwriter Dua Lipa, who recently released her album ‘Radical Optimism’, has spoken up on her eureka moment.

The singer shared that it was a song called ‘Illusion’, where she felt that lyrically she got the radical optimism, reports ‘Variety’.

Dua spoke with ‘Variety’ in an interview and shared that she felt very strong in the moment when she was writing that song.

The singer said: “I felt in a stronger power of position, because I was like maybe before, I would have fallen for something like this and now I can dance with the illusion, and it’s something for me too, you know? I think musically also, when Kevin and Danny came together and it was the live drums and the synths and the big music breakdown, in my head the big dance moment, when all those came together it was just a feeling.”

Dua further mentioned, quoted by...

Helsinki-based production company It’s Alive Films has boarded upcoming “Copernicus Secrets” as ca o-producer, joining Orka Studio’s Magdalena Zimecka (Poland) and 4film’s Anita Juka (Croatia.)

Recently, Orka co-produced Naomi Watts survival drama “Infinite Storm” by Małgorzata Szumowska and Michał Englert, as well as Marta Minorowicz’s “Illusion.”

“We like to try new things and we have never been involved in this kind of co-production before. Copernicus was an intellectual giant, whose vision had a tremendous effect on modern science. In a way, this story has been relevant since the 15th century,” said Finland’s Jani Pösö.

Running It’s Alive Films alongside director and longtime collaborator Teemu Nikki, Pösö is also behind “Euthanizer,” Finland’s 2018 Oscar submission, Venice-winning “The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic” or children’s film “Snot & Splash – The Mystery of Disappearing Holes,” starring Pekka Strang.

Exclusive: Indie distributor Variance Films has snapped up North American rights to the period drama Amerikatsi, written and directed by and starring Michael A. Goorjian, slating it for an exclusive theatrical release in New York and L.A. on Friday, September 8, with a national rollout to follow.

Shot in Armenia by People of Ar Productions, Amerikatsi centers on Charlie (Goorjian), who returns to the country in 1948 — decades after fleeing to the U.S. as a child, due to persecution by the Ottoman Empire. What he finds in doing so is a country crushed under Soviet rule. And after being unjustly imprisoned, Charlie falls into despair, until he discovers that he can see into a nearby apartment from his cell window — the home of a prison guard. As his life unexpectedly becomes entwined with the man’s, he begins to see that the true spirit of his homeland is alive in its passionate people.

Mumbai, April 19 (Ians) Singer Guru Randhawa, who is known for chartbusters like ‘Lahore’, ‘Suit Suit’, ‘Ban Ja Rani’, has once again collaborated with Nikhita Gandhi of ‘Jugnu’ fame after their last hit ‘Naach Meri Rani’. The new track is titled ‘Illusion’ and is inspired by Guru’s memory of his school crush.

The lyrics of the song narrate Guru’s heartfelt recollection of his school crush where he imagines a hypothetical conversation he could never have with her.

Talking about the song, Guru Randhawa said: “The very first thought that struck my mind after hearing about this was – Let’s do it! It was an instant yes for this exceptional collaboration, and I didn’t give it a second thought”.

He further mentioned: “I am extremely happy to be a part of this with my dear friend Nikhita. The track that we have worked on together – Illusion is a wonderful Punjabi post-house record,...

K-pop girl group Aespa has been on a roll since their debut in late 2020.

The Cranberries wrote the music for In the End in the year leading up to Dolores O’Riordan’s death and even though they had no way of knowing that this would be their parting statement, almost everything about it exudes finality.

Inspired by the interface of video games, Czech documentarian Katerina Tureckova’s portrait of life under Hungarian strongman president Viktor Orban, “Illusion,” had audiences buzzing at the 22nd Ji.hlava docu fest this year.

One of 13 entries in the Czech Joy section, her film, structured as a video game, is no diversion in digital playtime but rather an unconventional exploration of the darkest aspects of life under an increasingly totalitarian state. The Czech director lived in Budapest during filming, witnessing friends at the George Soros-founded Central European University facing increasing harassment as the school was finally driven out of the country to a new site in Vienna.

Madrid — As far as film genres go, comedies often have the greatest difficulties in traveling abroad and translating in a meaningful way to foreign audiences. But, by the very nature of its narrative, Daniel Castro’s “Old Man in Love,” and upcoming project and part of the Ecam Incubator for Spanish films in development, will to buck that trend.

An intercontinental “love story,” “Old Man in Love” follows a too-trusting professor in his 70s across the globe as he looks to track down the four-decades-younger girl of his dreams.

As the second world war thriller became bogged down during the mid-60s in plodding epics like Operation Crossbow and The Heroes of Telemark, someone was needed to reintroduce a little sang-froid, some post-Le Carré espionage, and for heaven's sake, some proper macho thrills into the genre. Alistair Maclean stepped up, writing the screenplay and the novel of Where Eagles Dare simultaneously, and Brian G Hutton summoned up a better than usual cast headed by Richard Burton (Major Jonathan Smith), a still fresh-faced Clint Eastwood (Lieutenant Morris Schaffer), and the late Mary Ure (Mary Elison).

One of the favorite parlor games the morning after the Grammy Awards is the predictable bellyaching about which artists got robbed during the big show. And the category that typically draws the most Monday-morning quarterbacking is the biggest one of the night: Album of the Year.

Long before the 54th annual ceremony Sunday night, the drumbeat had already begun about an album that failed to make the list despite its wide critical acclaim and deep musicality. Though he's the leading nominee at this year's ceremony with seven nods, Kanye West's career-defining My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy failed to make the cut for the night's top prize.
