It's still not one of my favorites by her, but at least I like it now and she proved me wrong This might the first time I don't agree with you Physical, together with album announcement/cover reveal was the moment when I realized it was time to stan 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically when she released the cover/title, my immediate reaction was "oh she's gonna re-create a bunch of retro hits in her own way" which I wasn't as excited for. I can't help but compare Dua's Physical to ONJ's Physical (there was obvious inspiration there anyways) and the latter is one of my favorite songs of all time. Physical was set up from my own perspective to always have a tough time impressing me. It didn't help that Blinding Lights was smashing at the time either, and I felt that song did what Physical was trying to do but better. A lot of factors that contributed to it being a 7/10 for me rather than a 10/10. Edited April 29 by Relampago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peroxide Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Yeah Physical was when everything clicked. That's when I knew she was onto something incredibly special… I think a lot of people (well… gays) had a similar Dula Peep awakening with this song. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relampago. Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Levitating will always be the song that made me realize how good Dua is. Hadn't heard anything like it before, the pacing through the whole song was perfect, the production was bouncy, her vocals were full of life and personality, it felt like THE perfect pop song. It could be released now, 10 years ago, 20 years from now, anytime and it would still be fresh and new. It's not a surprise to me it's her biggest hit. It's easily the best song released this decade. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's derivative and basic but it's not a bad song at all Illusion is a grower and i love it now, but i dont like how it's mixed, if that makes sense? Idk i had that same issue with some tracks on Venus by Zara Yesssss!!!! The mixing or mastering sounds off. Especially during the chorus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the song's legacy was ruined by that stupid feature. It never needed one to begin with. She's so dumb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the song was kinda flopping before D*B*by.

In a way, the remix made the original a smash hit while simultaneously stomping out DaLoser so we kinda won-won in the end 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonbeam Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 It's fun seeing the rankings of other fans. I've been working on my all-time song list, including 16 Dua songs in the mix. The list isn't finished yet, but here's how Dua's songs are faring so far: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also doesn't help that there isn't a music video of just the solo version. Levitating could've been a massive huge hit even just as a solo. She just needed payola! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuki O Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 FN 1. Don't Start Now - To me this one was instant. Clean production, Super catchy, with an anthemic pre-chorus, a perfect outro. And It sounds big, the closure of her FN concerts for a reason. 2. Pretty Please 3. Levitating 4. Future Nostalgia 5. That Kind of Woman 6. Cool 7. Love Again 8. Physical 9. Hallucinate 10. If Ain't Me 11. Break my Heart 12. Prisoner Then the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
