ATRL Moderator wehavetostan Posted February 19 ATRL Moderator Posted February 19 This isn’t necessarily a problem cause most of her songs are bops, but it’s interesting that people are saying this
Popular Post GraceRandolph Posted February 19 Popular Post Posted February 19 Taylor’s Jack Antonoff songs sound more similar yet I don’t hear people complaining about that. Dua is only on her third album and is carving out a sound for herself. 52 10 5 5 19
Bethenny Frankel Posted February 19 Posted February 19 houdini and training season sound nothing like levitating, maybe only pretty please 9 1
jomarr Posted February 19 Posted February 19 It’s called cohesion since she is releasing a body of work. 2 1 6
youresotoxic Posted February 19 Posted February 19 I really don't get it, like, her songs do not sound alike at all 12 1
Popular Post Suilen Posted February 19 Popular Post Posted February 19 Those are not "people", they're some homosekshas who are probably on this very forum telling her to scrap the era 2 45
ANG3L Posted February 19 Posted February 19 I blame her vocals and intonation. She had a different signing style in her first album 1
gatito Posted February 19 Posted February 19 she broke the disco ball but the gp doesn’t think her new music sounds that much different and the lukewarm response to training season is proof
Selegend Posted February 19 Posted February 19 GP will never be able to notice the difference between a disco pop song and a psychedelic pop song -- especially if they're from the same singer -- so it makes sense. 1
alfonso12 Posted February 19 Posted February 19 I'm not a big fan of Dua but there's a difference between disco and psychodelic music, but I understand for someone with basic aknowledge of music and being usted to the mainstream every song dance/pop song with retro influences it's the same thing. 3
wish Posted February 19 Posted February 19 All of Dua's recent music draws from 70s/80s dance-pop and the GP is a bit bored of that sound. The "psychedelic" influences also aren't nearly strong enough for the GP to notice. And yes, Training Season is disco influenced. 11
Breathe On Moi Posted February 19 Posted February 19 training season is actually a chore, I can’t lie anymore. Houdini was very cute. 2 2
BrokenMachine Posted February 19 Posted February 19 I thought they would compare her songs or something, like putting Dance The Night back to Levitating which is the easier example but seems like they were too lazy to do that and just did it for the clickbait It's serving ATRLers saying 'every P!nk song sounds the same !1!!' 1
FSXP Posted February 19 Posted February 19 (edited) Houdini sounds nothing like FN Disco to me. Very Another One Bits the Dust but dance-pop to me. Edited February 19 by FSXP
Zaynsus Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Oh please, if anything, Training Season is slightly similar to Break My Heart but that's pretty much it. 1 1
taylamour Posted February 19 Posted February 19 (edited) Don't Start Now & Training Season follow the same instrumental structure (build-up pre-chorus -> stripped back funky chorus). Edited February 19 by taylamour 1
Lady Claire Posted February 19 Posted February 19 ATRL is biased when it comes to Dua but yes, in reality Houdini and TS aren't a huge departure from her sound on FN. She only changed her hair color. They're not identical but you can tell there wasn't any innovation like it was on her Debut > FN. She only developed the sound she already had and stayed on her lane. On top of that, the visuals aren't that exciting and she's not bringing anything new to the table like she did back in 2019-20. and 24 minutes ago, wish said: All of Dua's recent music draws from 70s/80s dance-pop and the GP is a bit bored of that sound. The "psychedelic" influences also aren't nearly strong enough for the GP to notice. And yes, Training Season is disco influenced. All of this. 8
JoJo Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Like others have said, the GP quickly grows tired of genre trends. Disco and pop rock are out and country pop is in. of course, this is bad for artists who don’t switch their sound every era.
dirrtydiana Posted February 19 Posted February 19 This happens a lot the first few eras. To the average Joe, baby, crazy, oops, stronger, overprotected, lucky, etc sounded like the same song
Relampago. Posted February 19 Posted February 19 The fact Dua is the person I receive this critique the most is baffling to me because the most I can say about her songs sounding similar is that they’re all pop and she’s a… pop artist? Meanwhile Taylor and Lana are the girls with the biggest streams and you’ll get a pitchfork up the ass for saying that about their same old same old music. 5
charot Posted February 19 Posted February 19 (edited) Just same delivery and style. She needs to serve something else, something way different from what she's known for, like ballad (or something) in between releases. Edited February 19 by charot 1
