Dua Lipa, the chart-topping international sensation, recently shared insights into her early struggles with music during a video interview. Lipa recounted a humorous yet relatable story from her school days when she failed to secure a spot in the choir due to a failed audition.

Despite facing initial setbacks, Lipa found her voice outside of formal education through singing lessons at a theater school in London. She credited her teacher for helping her build confidence and develop her talents, ultimately shaping her into the successful star she is today.

Lipa's upcoming album, 'Radical Optimism,' is set to be released on May 3, featuring tracks like 'Houdini,' 'End of an Era,' 'French Exit,' and 'Anything for Love.' While known for her contributions to the disco revival, Lipa teased that this new album will offer a different sonic experience with a strong lyrical theme, aiming to engage her fans without alienating them.

Addressing rumors of a collaboration with Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, Lipa remained coy, neither confirming nor denying the speculations. However, her social media posts from Parker's Los Angeles home sparked further curiosity among fans.
