NostalgiawithDua Posted February 17 Posted February 17 What was the point of all the teasing and promo if it wasn’t going to be sent to Radio, I get they want Houdini to get it’s moment but it’s a FLOP in US, even if they want it’s resurgence why is it 42 on TTH, it’s almost as if they’re randomly doing ****, warner has successfully ruined the initial phase of their biggest artist’s campaign, just release the album and let us enjoy the music and tour….. 1
Yes, AND Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Prefer this to Houdini, but I wish she had more OOMPH in her vocals. This needed more backing too, it sounds very empty in parts. 3

Yeah I think at this point they just need to release the album asap cause the rollout is botched 1
skwonderfactory Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Can she please officially announce the album already?
lapisnour Posted February 17 Posted February 17 So this roll out… how much more time are we gonna give it before admitting defeat? This has been pure chaos and reeks of commercial flop

Too many things have gone wrong. Fully agree, still wanna and am going to remain optimistic but god this roll out doesn’t have me half as excited as I was in January 2020 when we had SOOO many performances of DSN (mind yall even in Asia, not just local ones) and we had the album title by January, the title song AND the magnum opus that is Physical. To directly compare it rn since the roll-outs are so similar (which I think is a bad thing) I’m really not excited and we barely have any clue about the theme of this album is… Edited February 17 by lapisnour 1 1
Life Savers Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Much better than Houdini but kind of a messy rollout.
Tistotal Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Is this the best song I’ve ever heard?? Like pop perfection 1

The hype won't last forever girl announce it Maybe is for the best we got like a lot of albums announcements in the last 2 weeks, Taylor, Beyonce, Shakira etc I predict announcement by the end of this month 1 hour ago, LanaXtinaFan said: Any idea why they didn’t send this to radio? Maybe they are waiting for Houdini to start falling? maybe it’s because Houdini is Top 10 overall radio & coming for Top 5 at pop radio 1 hour ago, NostalgiawithDua said: What was the point of all the teasing and promo if it wasn’t going to be sent to Radio, I get they want Houdini to get it’s moment but it’s a FLOP in US, even if they want it’s resurgence why is it 42 on TTH, it’s almost as if they’re randomly doing ****, warner has successfully ruined the initial phase of their biggest artist’s campaign, just release the album and let us enjoy the music and tour….. They will probably send like in 2 or 3 weeks, they will probably push TS in Europe since she will be there this days They will push TS at the US when they get closer to album release… me thinks The era is messy TBH
truthteller Posted February 17 Posted February 17 it's not as instant as Houdini but it's a grower for sure. I wish it had more punch to it in the middle and final section.
SayIt Posted February 17 Posted February 17 I love the verses in Training Season, definitely a highlight, and the bridge with Dua lower register slays. The chorus is a bop! Even though the snippet was instant for me. The song in full was not…it is still growing on me I enjoy training season more than Houdini
SayIt Posted February 17 Posted February 17 I forgot to mention in my review that the instrumental is everything After Houdini I didn’t want Kevin Parker on DL3, but now he can be involved if he wants
4th Time Around Posted February 17 Posted February 17 I like both of these singles but the rollout has been really terrible, if Training Season or some other track becomes a hit at some point, it will be in spite of the rollout, not because of it.
HANZ94 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 This era is a damn mess I am sorry but Dua is not delivering
Mariah4life Posted February 17 Posted February 17 This song is catchy but her songs sound so similar. i can barely tell them apart. 1
unino Posted February 17 Posted February 17 wow this is a masterpiece. it's perfectly produced and flow really well with the lyrics. 1
jamiko1230 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 (edited) TS has the catchier vocals, melody and hooks etc...but find myself still underwhelmed vs Houdini that has IT (the vibe and flow). Yeah, it has the very slick production which usually compensates for lack of memorable lyrics, vocal hooks, build ups and drops, YET it works. The subtle-ness of it all makes it hotter and less try hard. It's why 3 months later it's starting to slowly but def. surely rise or stabilize (at worst). Only 1st going Power on Z100 now confirms it! lol Can't pinpoint the specific key thing lacking w/ TS. It's not at all 'bad' & is hit worthy on whatever level. But overall, production on the whole just isn't doing for me. Ya, I like the Abba Dancing Queen-esque keys and psychedelic-ish at x elements but it's just not enough, scattered & not meshing so far. And not hearing/feeling that one key thing yet I know always eventually hits w/ her. But we'll see. Edited February 17 by jamiko1230 3 1
NoOneDiesFromLove Posted February 17 Posted February 17 It just gets better with every listen I’m obsessed you don’t understand
Mdawg Posted February 17 Posted February 17 (edited) I feel like this would have benefitted so much from a thematic visual to make it punch--give us a sexy referee theme! Have her blow the whistle on men running through an obstacle course like the red Wipeout balls! Something! I like the song enough but it isn't the memorable pre-album statement it could have been a la Blank Space/Poker Face/7 Rings/other 2nd singles that helped build the world of their respective eras. Still rooting for her and the album! Edited February 17 by Mdawg 6
Relampago. Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Why are yall melting down so bad? Even if the song doesn’t smash and the era flops, is it really that big of a deal? The music is still good, it would be bad if she flopped because of bad music, but clearly people like this. Maybe DL3 won’t be a FN sized era but it’s not doing horrible so far. Guessing some of yall wanted to see her fail or something cause 11 1
