International icon Dua Lipa invited us to discuss her new album, and I got to hang out with my new besties The Boyz, Nicki Nicole is on the cover of Billboard. And we go backstage with Bebe Rexha and Maren Morris. This is the Billboard News for March 19th. And this might be the best episode ever, and I promise I don't say that every day. First yesterday, Ariana Grande topped the Billboard Hot 100 and made the sweetest of posts, thanking her fans saying, “Let's promise to keep going.” Congratulations Ari and we're all about the queens of pop today. Yeah I sat down with Dua Lipa, how does this new era of Dua Lipa feel?
Dua Lipa
It feels good, I mean it feels radically optimistic for lack of a better word

The date is May 3rd and the project is Dua Lipa's 'Radical Optimism' and we had the sweetest chat with the pop star about the brand new album, bad dates and oh, and the Spice Girls. The cover is kind of a juxtaposition, right you're in that calm water, the shark, so tell me the inspiration behind the cover?
Dua Lipa
Throughout the record there's this idea of chaos going on around me and trying to work through it in a way that feels authentic and honest. To me this is obviously an overly dramatic way of explaining this, but I feel like it speaks to me of radical optimism in the clearest sense of being in deep water.
