FN era was so long that people genuinely think she only make disco-pop throughout her career :deadbanana4:

    Future Nostalgia was a huge step up for her in terms of her image and sound; it proved that she could not only deliver on a strong concept, but change it up from her debut album. Love Again, Pretty Pl

    This and the fact that it's clearly a Future Nostalgia leftover... worms for brains

Massive growth as from dance-pop to... dance-pop? :rip: 

 

The quality has improved, but she's been doing the same genre her entire career. And before you come screaming "disco!!1!1", not all of Future Nostalgia is disco, and disco is still a part of dance pop genre. :rip: 

 

Is the massive growth with us in the room?

By these standards, almost nobody actually changes genre

 

Katy made dance pop her whole career

Gaga went from dark dance pop, to dance pop, to folk pop, back to dance pop

Taylor started with country pop, and switched to regular pop

Ellie started with folk pop, did dark pop, and now does standard dance pop

 

So of course, looking at it that way Dua started with dance pop and currently excels at disco pop.

You stan Camila, so i get why you don't know what "artistic growth" looks like

It’s NOT a Future Nostalgia leftover. It’s new material for the movie. It’s co-written by some of her new DL3 producers - Tobias Jesso Jr, Danny L Harle, Andrew Wyatt & Mark Ronson

Oh... well... the snippet really makes it sound like it. Hopefully not the case for the full song!

Ummm she’s a basic girl at heart tbh but she struck gold with future nostalgia.  It’s definitely not a basic album.  
 

im glad she’s repeating the disco sound.  It might just be for a soundtrack but I just didn’t want her to go back to DL1 sounds.

You sound delusional girl :skull:

It’s basic but not bottom tier basic like Kim Petras for instance

Is Dua's music extremely underground sounding, completely unique, never been done before? No. It is not.

 

Was FN a fresh sound in 2019-2020 that was very much needed after the trap sound was becoming very stagnant and repetitive? Yes, I do very much believe that. And I do believe she and Abel were at the forefront of the nu-disco revival. 

This. The fact that FN spawned a bunch of copycat singles/albums from other artists because it was so successful doesn't mean that DSN and FN are retroactively basic :rip:

Dance-pop to dance-pop is the same as pop-rock to pop and country-pop to pop (Taylor actually went from pure country with her first album)? Dance pop and disco are the same genre of dance music. Folk pop, country pop  or pop rock are not dance pop. Why do I have to tell y'all the basics? :rip:

Miss Camila showed more diversity with jumping between latin pop and dance pop, but ok miss dance pop-only.

Did I lie? It's common knowledge her first album is dance-pop with electropop/R&B influences and the second album is dance-pop with disco/electropop influences.

Is this what y'all call "MASSIVE growth"?

Every artist I listed made pop music, just subgenres of it. Same with Dua.  It's really not that hard to understand :rip:

Oh please… If Dua is “SO basic”, than what can you say about Katy Perry, Ava Max, Selena Gomez, Bebe Rexha, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Camila Cabello. Those artists used the same type of sound for most of their careers, no artistic growth whatsoever. What can you say about them? Basically they’re industry plants. Even the person in your profile picture didn’t evolve until her 3rd album so, I think Dua is in a good position, currently working on something different for her 3rd album while also giving us one last taste of her previous era.

but her first album isn't even strictly dance-pop :rip: sure its generic pop but if you've actually bothered to listen there's dance-pop, pop rock, ballads, and even some r&b moments

 

and future nostalgia while being under the umbrella of dance-pop is clearly different to songs like new rules or be the one

Not that tweet getitng 36k likes. Twitter is such a joke. :skull: 

Eh, most of the replies and quotes are dragging the tweet and there are multiple tweets with a similar amount of likes defending her.

Remember when these same folks were coming at her for actually making a proper remix album with Club Future Nostalgia and not just adding features on the same production, or begging her to release the blandest song ever (If It Ain't Me) as a single instead of We're Good.

Not My Problem exists, but still If It Ain't Me is exactly the kind of song they are trying to come at her for being basic yet they ate it up.

You goon - IIAM is amazing :alexz:

 

Yas @ the NMP drag though ... Truly one of the most vile "songs" I have ever seen from a pop girl. The nerve she & team had in thinking that was release-worthy :deadbanana2:
