Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism is one of spring’s most anticipated new albums, and she just added some more fuel to the fire. The music video for her latest single “Illusion” is here and it sees her performing an elaborate poolside choreography with a group of dancers.
Directed by Tanu Muino, Lipa’s new visual was shot at the Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc in Barcelona, and it might just be her most lavish music video yet. “I really like the way you’re movin’ / Yeah, I just wanna dance with the illusion” she sings in the song’s bridge, while dancing her heart out with a group of synchronized swimmers and enjoying the panoramic views of Barcelona.
Lipa co-wrote this song with Caroline Ailin, Danny L Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr., and Kevin Parker, and she credits it for “breaking the ice” and inspiring it the entire record.
“It’s about knowing what you’re getting yourself into but staying for the hell of it. The joke’s on them, it’s the fun of playing someone at their own game because ultimately you won’t fall for an illusion,” said Lipa in a statement.
“Illusion” was released as the third single from her new album Radical Optimism, scheduled to hit the shelves on May 3.
