Does her label run out the monnies to hiring a decent pr team for her this era???

I mean who has a right mind to release a crucial lead single in the middle of holiday season?  With a basic mv AND no promotion...  and the 30 second teasing of 2nd single, gurl this is not a 2011 anymore...  Just release the damn single already. 

 

From a promising era... This may be turn out gonna be her "Witness" era, or even the worst her "Bionic" era for real. 

 

Don’t 

 

You wish

u could've just posted this in the single thread

too early to call.

 

theres been several questionable eras lately but their albums still performed well. 

Lets wait till March/April before coming to that conclusion. Big performance slots are coming (Brits, Oscars, Grammy) + probably a new Interview cycle + more performances.

 

DL3 hasn't really started as of now. Even the MV for Houdini is giving "cute intro" to the era if anything.

ATRL is desperately holding on this idea that Dua is flopping this era

Why would she perform at the Oscars?

this album will be acclaimed so it won't be either.

The music is too quirky, weird, and anti-mainstream 

It’s Future Nostalgia 2.0 instead of being reinvention 

Told y’all she was the new Katy Perry 

her fans got cocky and brave when it was clear she was never gonna last

Well, she is. 

she needs to stop saying “its psychedelic” every chance she gets promoting this music. let it speak for itself and dont use that word every time cause it throws people off

Well, she is. 

she released one moderate hit so far. 

She thought she didn’t need TAP anymore, it looks like she was wrong.

Houdini is far from a hit anywhere in the world. Yes, she can have a hit in the future. But so far, this era is struggling. 

Discovery told Warner to stop sending checks 

There's literally one song out. 

She'll do fine in Europe. Plus, her hits of the last eras were enormous, so she's still played on the radio. 

The thing is that she is not trying hard , she lacks the energy and the stamina she had during future nostalgia era and I get it , it must be so hard and exhausting to go from a well promoted era to the studio to another shoot to another album cycle, it’s exhausting but releasing new music just for the sake of releasing just for it to flop and make no noise is just trash 

Well it hasn’t released yet, so that is the biggest problem. Hope that helps!

This. The dramatics. And that song is already a decent hit by this point.

 

We already know the 'real' lead single and video were changed last minute so I don't know why OP is asking 'why'

it’s had decent peaks in most territories, holding on streaming, starting to get certified in some countries

 

no one is saying it’s a huge smash, but it takes like a minute to look up how it’s doing instead of talking out of your ass

it's definitely an OK hit. But not a lead single type of hit.
