well i liked them! but i can't see a sound connection, they feel like "i'm trying to figure out what the next direction is" to me. but why is she going back to disco 😭

It isn't even Disco guys! I'm sure 4 or 5 snippets were already rejected by her...

The one with "I wanna stay" something something sounds good (the last one).

I will hold on with judging the rest, I wanna hear the whole record first, but they're giving more radical optimism than radical optimism itself (and I bought and own the RO, so don't come after me 💀).

We really need to open the schools because not all (dance) pop is disco

The way it's kind of a mix of synth pop, disco, funk & house

Dua's career is mainly Disco, Dance, Synth and Electropop so... it's okay if her songs kinda sound alike despite if she change of producers, she has her own signature sound or style of music.

Loves crying on Twitter and saying it's IA (???)

I'm sorry but I can't take serious what they are saying! It seems like the only stan Dua because of FN and feels like every album has to be like that or smth...

Snippet #1 you are a legend

Does she work with Antonoff?

Antonoff? Why that conclusion?

Isn't that the studio he uses all the time?

It is actually a very popular studio, anyone from JAY Z to Adele to Olivia Rodrigo has recorded there actually

What are the chances of her working with Greg Kurstin again? He liked almost every other of her insta posts since april... Hopefully this means something

I don't think so; Mark used to use that studio often but I believe he uses a different one now or has one in his home in NYC. Antonoff uses that a lot but I am wondering if she was there to work with Elmhirst. I doubt she's that far into the recording process but I do think he will be part of this album as well.

The comments on the snippets being overtly negative You guys really don't like them at all? Ngl I initially felt the same, but they are quite interesting overall.. There is a high chance none of them end up on the record, but yet most of them are very very recent and this is basically her direction right now. That being said she's back to the "old days", instead of being focused with one group of people, she has tons of different sessions with different people, there is almost no overlap between producers/writers involved in these tracks. So she's on a mission to squeeze the best of the best from many talents.

My favs are Snippet #2 (i think i wanna give this but i don't think i wanna let go) and the snippet #3 (The one that she says "disppeaaaar" and after that the energy brings back with the upbeat part ) i hope one of these make a Final Cut or getting the full thing at at some point .

another day in the mf studio i need that album RN

The only thing that i ask for DL4 is a solid and very aesthetic vision of visuals and art direction .Radical optimism was weak in this part but not for the theme fault it was for the lack of a proper team effort and not knowing how to sell it properly .the 90% of RO photoshoot diferent sets that keeps on drafts i'm sure that is better than the pairs of takes oficially released .

Radical Optimism has a Rich creative vision and theme but was badly sell it and executed in terms of expose the imaginary of the era.

yeah same, it missed the era building. She had puzzle pieces but never crafted the whole picture,

Okay but where can I find these snippets, I need to hear them right now?!

@BlackoutZone i know that maybe you are busy or doesn't want to for laziness but please can you update the unreleased tracker with Dua's diferent era's color section (like DL1 lavender purple, FN baby pink and RO turqoise blue ) and the Past new additions ? Plsss plsss 💖🥹

Chartmasters shows that Radical Optimism surpass 4 million Worldwide

Radical Optimism keeps proving haters wrong!!! wont be surpeised if this surpass 4.5 million by the end of the year, the streams are very stable for a 2024 album release

And for an album that had no post album singles beside France okay RO

snippets??? how do you know they aren't fake?

She really does seem to be going back to the way she made songs during DL1 and FN with lots of different collaborators. I hope she has a vision in mind and she's not just ''shopping''

I feel like, genuinely, last year was the 'shopping' phase. Or I hope. She's pretty much been spotted there every day, know she had some kind of shoot or video/ad she filmed with the green contacts. I'm not trying to get my hopes up that DL4 is right around the corner but they're up.
