Live From Mexico

About

<b>Experience the dazzling close-out of the pop dynamo’s electrifying world tour.</b> At the tail end of 2025, pop megastar Dua Lipa closed out her year-long Radical Optimism Tour in Mexico City, performing to a cumulative audience of almost 200,000 people across three sold-out stadium shows. The <i>Live from Mexico</i> album—which accompanies a concert film of the same name—seeks to replicate the scale of that experience: 138 minutes of glossy, polished dance-pop featuring tracks from the singer-songwriter’s 2024 album, <i>Radical Optimism</i>, alongside some of her most well-known chart smashes. Kicking off with the high-intensity hit <b>“Training Season,”</b> Lipa rips through a breathlessly uptempo set list that largely remains faithful to the original arrangements with effortless poise. Tracks from <i>Radical Optimism</i>—an album that generally left more breathing space in the production—sound fuller here, punched up to match the maximalism of her self-titled 2017 debut and the Grammy-winning 2020 follow-up, <i>Future Nostalgia</i>. The sole exception, a stripped-back version of deep cut <b>“Anything for Love,”</b> slows the relentless energy all the way down to draw out phone-torches and lighters from the crowd. Other highlights include a lively cover of <b>“Oye Mi Amor”</b>by Mexican rock band Maná (performed as a duet with singer/guitarist Fher Olvera) and a hard-hitting rendering of Lipa’s breakthrough single <b>“New Rules,”</b> powered by momentum-building drum fills. By the time she finally signs out for the night with the definitive refrain “catch me or I go Houdini,” there’s nothing left but to feel thankful that this recording, at least, will stick around forever.
