renforshort Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 the album debuted with 907,946 streams.. does anyone know what high expectations debut numbers were? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reymiu Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) so this album can be divided into 3 main writing camps SG Lewis - delivering most consistent quality (Let Them Know, Let Love Go.... with LTK being the best track on the album. In restropect, LTK is pretty much the only song sounding like a hit on the album, save for "I Wish" which is a Joel Corry song. When it flopped, that was the clear signal the sound is not working for Mabel) Jean-Marie + MNEK (Shy, Definition, WTPO) - MNEK wyd????? he used to serve bops but sadly most of these dont work for me. Felt like he gave all his best material to Little Mix, esp Definition sounds like a Little Mix reject (the song's bridge is full of Little Mix's signature harmonies) Swedish team (ILYG, Good Luck, Crying) - this is actually the most disappointing None of them work for Mabel , StarGate needs new inspiration ASAP ---- Now I understand why they went with LOL (Steve Mac) as the single launching album release week Given that singles from all 3 camps above flopped (SG Lews' LTK, Swedish's Good Luck & Overthinking,..), it's best to try with different sound LOL should have been released as 3rd single post-I Wish actually Edited July 17, 2022 by reymiu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator kelly-clarkson Posted July 17, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 17, 2022 I'm surprised by the mixed responses in this thread. It might be far from being the best album released this year, but it's a cute pop album to listen to. Although I can understand if some people didn't enjoy it, in case they had great expectations for the album. Let Them Know is really the standout of the album, I'm glad it was the lead single "Shy" sounds sooo good. The production reminds me of "Confetti" by Little Mix "Good Luck" grew on me while listening to it in the order of the tracklist. The second half of the album feels weaker compared to the songs in the first half. Overall I really enjoyed the album, maybe I don't have many complaints to make because I thought the album was never going to be released in the first place EDIT: "Lol" sounds like a bootleg version of Don't Call Me Up. The production of the song reminds me of this video It's kinda cute tho once you listen to it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyride Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 this is actually NOT bad the random lashings... is it missing a Don't Call Me Up? yes, but that doesn't mean the album is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwonderfactory Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Believe it or not, I’ve never heard a single Mabel song aside from bits of “Don’t Call Me Up”, so I went into this record pretty blind. Overall, it’s a solid pop album. It is by no means amazing but there are some truly great moments. In my opinion the highlights are “Animal” (the melody with that production in the verses is sick AF, not to mention the purr), “Shy” (I love how this song pretends to be nothing it’s not), “Let Love Go” (the solo version and it’s rare you see a top 40 pop song that has only one verse that doesn’t repeat!), “Crying on the Dance Floor” (the vocoder ending is a tamer version of Kylie Minogue’s “Dance Floor Darling” climax), “I Love You Girl” (so unexpected and very interesting lyrically), and “Toxic (Acoustic)”, (this is a hell of a cover and an amazing tribute to Britney! I know everyone is praising “Let Them Know” to the heavens, but while it’s a certified Gay (with a capital “G”) bop, it’s not a highlight in my opinion. I’ve seen mention of a superior version of “Definition” that l**ked but I can not find it anywhere for the life of me. Oh well I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Better Mistakes Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Now that she’s signed with Dua’s old management, can she unrelease the album and all its singles and start again with the same material and competent management?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
