I suspect Spotify’s crackdown on streaming farms is gonna hit her numbers like a truck & everybody’s gonna say the decline’s due to her “new psychedelic sound” which isn’t new or psychedelic.

I never thought about it this way, but this is what Kesha and her fans did with her newest project too. Is this gonna be the newest trend?

Let me save this thread

 

[Erreur2 La Nature]

What's the point of this thread ? Dua Lipa never starts that big. Her songs are slow burner and have longevity.

[CatchIt]

It sounds like every other dance song of hers so obviously it's gonna smash...plus she has the Payola in full swing. don't set yourself up. The only way Dua will flop is if the world magically stops gravitating to the disco/dance pop song which isn't happening anytime soon i guess

[I54X]

It will be back in a couple of weeks lol 

[Taylor fanboy]

I’ve learned my lesson, she will be a grower, not a shower.

[Harsh2256]

The songs actually just as I expected. It's not bad at all. Also 4M isn't bad not every song is gonna do great on its first initial days. Btw TF does odh mean?

[Bosque]

It’s a a very mid song that lacks replay value. You’d be fine hearing it in the background at a coffee shop, but people aren’t going out of their way to press play on Spotify

[Billionaire]

It's interesting that she came back from a smash literally a few months ago and is still struggling to get initial interest for her comeback, at least in the US   Multiple comments in here about her how her songs rise after getting heavily pushed but that's not really a good sign for her long-term career at all, what's gonna happen when ageism hits and radio won't play her songs anymore?

It’s a good song but it’s the same-old after Future Nostalgia which she milked for so long. This disco sound is done, she should’ve came back with a new sound.

we got tired of the samey disco sound by her. 

 

bring on the kaleidoscope-themed psychedelic trip bops or keep it.

Do y'all actually know what disco is?

yes, most music listeners do. hope it helps.

[OrgVisual]

I wouldn't call it free falling lol but her AM position is concerning. 

[Taylena]

Apple Music users saying no to music being shoved down their throats. 

[RIKI232]

I think everyone was expecting a BANGER and lets be real, we didn't get one, and with a cheap music video this is not a comeback we have expected. That being said, i love the song and rooting for her

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

This site NEVER learns when it comes to the hitmakers who don't always debut but have longevity 

[burninredhot]

I honestly don't get it. Even Katy had the gp waiting and had big debuts during TD and Prism eras. What does Dua lack to never score a smash right out of the gate 

[theweekend]

atrl always does this for the entertainment. love it.

What kind of psychedelic, dark Berlin nightclub-coded coffee shop you going to? 

 

Spoiler

I'm kidding lmao
