\n\tIt looks like Dua Lipa<\/a> is hard at work on her fourth album. The \u201cHoudini\u201d singer posted a series of snaps from the studio<\/a> on Monday (Aug. 31) with the caption, \u201cstudio rat and other sightings,\u201d in a photo roll that also included a cute minimart selfie with Troye Sivan and some other random high-fashion snaps and food pics.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe photos likely to get fans most excited, though, were a series in which Lipa appears hard at work on what could be the follow-up to 2024\u2019s Radical Optimism, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album charts in May 2024. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe first slide has Dua pursing her lips and smiling at the camera from behind a vocal mic in a studio, followed by her Sivan selfie, a shot of three martini glasses on a restaurant table and another in which the Service95 founder wears a \u201cSo many books, so little time\u201d T-shirt. The following pic shows Dua sitting on a big red studio couch in New York surrounded by keyboards alongside Sudanese Canadian poet\/singer and Drake collaborator Mustafa and songwriter Ali Tamposi (Kelly Clarkson\u2019s \u201cStronger,\u201d Camila Cabello\u2019s \u201cHavana\u201d), combined with a few selfies and a glimpse at what looks like a delicious pasta dinner and another shot of Mustafa across from her at a restaurant.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series wraps up with a shot-from-below image of Dua tracking vocals, a classic \u201cgirl dinner\u201d of strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, mango, gummy worms and yogurt-covered pretzels and another studio shot in which she\u2019s joined by Mustafa (who also goes by Mustafa The Poet), Tamposi and Grammy-winning producer Greg Kurstin (Adele, Harry Styles).<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2024, Lipa interviewed Mustafa at a listening session for his 2024 album Dunya, referring to him as \u201cmy best friend<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLipa\u2019s previous album spawned the worldwide Billboard Hot 100 No. 11 hit \u201cHoudini,\u201d No. 27 charting \u201cTraining Season\u201d and No. 43 hit \u201cIllusion.\u201d She hit the road for the global Radical Optimism tour in November 2024, winding it down on Dec. 5, 2025 with a show in Mexico City, which was turned into the live concert film Dua Lipa \u2014\u00a0Live From Mexico and the live album, Live From Mexico. The singer married her longtime love, British actor Callum Turner, in May in a civil ceremony in London, followed by a lavish three-day Italian wedding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn between sessions, Dua is gearing up to host her curated lineup for the 2025 London Literature Festival<\/a>, which will run from Oct. 20 through Nov. 1 at the Southbank Centre. Dua will be in conversation with a number of authors and musicians during the event, including a chat with British author Zadie Smith about her award-winning 2000 debut novel,\u00a0White Teeth, as well as other discussions with friend Mustafa and punk-rock icon and author Patti Smith.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt press time a spokesperson for Lipa had not returned Billboard\u2018s request for confirmation that the photos were from sessions for her fourth album.<\/p>\n
