Dua Lipa - "Training Season"


Recommended Posts

Posted

I feel like this song is overall getting better reception than Houdini (although, I prefer Houdini), but to those who feel Dua’s not stepping up enough… how? 

 

To top FN would already be a tough task for any pop girl nowadays, but legitimately, when was the last time a pop girl had 2 singles back to back on the level of quality that Houdini and Training Season are? 

 

Ariana’s not doing it with yes, and? 

Taylor’s not doing it with Anti-Hero/Karma

Doja’s not doing it with PTTR/Agora Hills

Olivia’s not doing it with Vampire/BIR/GHB

Tate’s not doing it with Greedy/Exes

Bey has left pop for now and is firmly in her country era

Rih, Gaga, Billie, Katy are all in between eras/retired. 

 

As was the case with FN, no one is doing it like Dua atm. Regardless of whether this smashes or not, Dua is definitely keeping up her end of the quality pop music quota. Truly no one on her level in that field as of late.

OK this ended up being better than I thought and better than Houdini. The only part I dislike is the chorus.

 

Looking forward to the album again bc maybe we will be getting some new flavors from miss Lipa

I like how subdued it sounds

Olivia, Tate and Taylor delivered!

 

Dua is showing promise with this single. I was minority who liked Houdini but felt bored. With this single, I feel refreshed and excited again.

Exes is a flop

The verses are so good :jonny5: but they always are with a Dua song

I mean, I wouldn't call it a flop since greedy is basically cannibalizing it. A reverse DNT/Houdini expedition some would say!

Greedy is lovely

 

Exes… beautiful dancing.

 

Plus, let’s be honest, DL3 has no chance to be as boring and lackluster as Think Later was. And if it is, I’m handing in my stan card INSTANTLY

greedy and exes are enjoyable fun bops but houdini and training season are just amazing

the way the video only has 1.4M streams in 18 hours. Houdini already had around 5x this amount in the same time if im correct

March and April are booking and busy with Shakira, Taylor and Beyonce releasing. And more are coming, probably Billie (but she needs to drop lead first)

 

I think we will get the album in May

 

tbh I'm only worried about Taylor and Ariana. Shakira needs a BIIIIIG collaboration on her album and Bey is gonna do country.

Is it just my misperception or is the video severely flopping on youtube???

It deserves to flop, though - let's stream on AM and Spotify instead :heart2:

Girl exes is the most boring and lazy song ever. Not even a ******* BRIDGE

Good song but tbh this era is just lacking in ambition I think. It’s serviceable.

No, it’s flopping but thats kind of expected based on video reception


Streams are looking promising though!

This flopping doesn't take away from the fact it's a BOP! Dua is the only woman giving us POP masterpieces these days.

Yes I think its because she wants to serve full catchy POP SONGS but its lacking in some departments. Like no climax/ab libs

Yes its true we are holding her to a higher standard because this is REAL POP. But then there is no climax/missing ad libs

Her music ain't really hitting lately. It all sounds so 2019.

I feel bad for Dua. She's serving but society is failing her and letting her flop this era.
