NostalgiawithDua Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Billie has such a great and creative management, the Instagram, SoundCloud and Fortnite collabs, 5$ listening parties. She really pushed herself sonically and vocally. Really wanted Dua to do the same next era! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relampago. Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Yeah I agree, I think Dua could've taken a few notes out of Billie's book for their two eras, both management-wise and musically. Tracks like Lunch, Chihiro and the end of L'Amour De Ma Vie are kinda more of what I was thinking we'd get for RO. Still, I'm happy with what we got. While I love HMHAS, it's not like I'll be playing it round the clock like I have been with RO. They're just different albums in that sense, one is easy listening and the other is full of depth and can't just be thrown on willy nilly. But yah.. hope Dua tries to push herself a bit more next album. Whatever that means for her, because that was not present in this era which like I said earlier is the only main concern I have with this era. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard her mention country music (has anyone else?). We've all been sat here for months agitating for performances on GNorton/Fallon/Myers/Kimmel some show in France, or Germany or anywhere logical ( Thanksgiving halftime football - like J Harlow did?), to promote Houdini Nov - Feb only to get nothing at all, and now she suddenly pops up in some random surburb of Dallas ( I had to look it up) to do a country collab with some bloke in a cowboy hat, with an interviewer after the event who couldn't pronounce her name.

NostalgiawithDua Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Streaming really killed the hype and thrill of pre-released singles, I feel like more artists are gonna follow this path. (RO debut with 500K…) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(RO debut with 500K…) Dua should abandon the pre-singles aproach next era tbh, just hype it up and pull all the strings like Billie and Taylor No more long delays between albums and gaps between single releases if she just releases it as a whole. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relampago. Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 The album is doing alright for how little effort there seems to be in the promotion of it. I so badly want to know what's being said behind closed doors. I would love to know if they're wanting to cut this era short and start crafting the next album or if they plan to push another single. Seems like the goal was to give Happy For You a little push for the album sales, but never intended to make it a single. Looks like they're still giving Illusion a little nudge here and there. My guess is they push one more single then give us a deluxe. No way did Dua record 90+ songs and we don't get a deluxe. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reymiu Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 No Dua song is in top 50 of UK Spotify. The era is not working, but I dont think going country is the right move either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleRainbow! Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Yeah, releasing 3 singles before the album was a bad move, maybe lead single and a second single during release week would've worked better 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
