Dua Lipa released "Illusion," another new track from her forthcoming album Radical Optimism, on Thursday (April 11) along with an eye-catching video for the track that's a stunner.
Filmed at the Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc in Barcelona, Spain, the video directed by Tanu Muino, features the Grammy winner along with a bevy of Speedo-clad high divers launching themselves off platforms, artistic swimmers and dancers.
It's not the first time the iconic pool has served as a backdrop for a music video. Kylie Minougue, one of Lipa's favorites, featured it as the location for her "Slow" music video in 2010.
"Illusion" was co-written by Lipa, alongside album collaborators Caroline Ailin, Danny L. Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr. and Kevin Parker of Tame Impalla, and was co-produced by Harle and Parker.
Of the track, Lipa said in a statement, "'Illusion' was the first song Caroline, Danny, Tobias, Kevin and I worked on together, and it really broke the ice for the record," she explained. "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."
"Illusion" follows the release of "Training Season" and "Houdini" taken from Radical Optimism, which is due out May 3.
Lipa will support the release of the album with a series of European dates. June shows in Berlin, Pula and Nimes sold out soon after they went on sale. The "Houdini" singer is also set to perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Oct. 17. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (April 12) at 10 a.m. local time.
