Live From The Royal Albert Hall

About

2024 was a year of milestones for Dua Lipa. The British pop star released her third album <i>Radical Optimism</i>—on which she realized her long-held dream of working with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker—and headlined Glastonbury Festival, something else she’d been “manifesting” since the start of her career. Then, in October, she ticked off another major moment: this performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Here, alongside the 53-piece Heritage Orchestra, conducted by Ben Foster, and a 14-person-strong choir, Lipa performs <i>Radical Optimism</i> start to finish, followed by some of her best moments—from “Be the One” and her 2023 <i>Barbie</i> smash “Dance the Night” to <i>Future Nostalgia</i>’s excellent “Love Again” (its “My Woman” sample performed by horns) and “Levitating.” Plu, there’s a Cleo Sol cover (“Sunshine”) and an appearance from actual Elton John, who joins her on stage for their 2021 megahit “Cold Heart.” .
