Dua Lipa is gearing up for the release of her new album Radical Optimism, and she gave us a taste of things to come with another music video. The visual for “Illusion” is taking us to a lush pool in Barcelona, and it will make you wish that the summer was already here.
The Tanu Muino-directed visual sees Lipa showing off her best moves at the Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc in Barcelona. She’s surrounded by a group of synchronized swimmers, who climb the pool tower by the end of the video, and finish their elaborate choreography with Lipa delivering the last line, “You think I’m gonna fall for an illusion?”
“Illusions” was one of the songs that initially inspired her new album Radical Optimism, and she felt things were going in the right direction after recording it.
“When Kevin [Parker] and Danny [L Harle] 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. I had a feeling and I was like, now I have something to bounce off of,” she told Variety.
Radical Optimism will hit the shelves on May 3, and “Illusion” is the third single released from this album, following “Houdini” and “Training Season”.
