OnlyManInTheWorld Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I'm loving the album, guys Its only problem is the lack of big hits that would carry it. It doesn't have Future Nostalgia's highest highs but also avoids career lowest lows (Good in bed, Boys will be boys). These Walls was my immediate favorite (been playing on repeat since Friday). She should promote the hell out of it and see if it clicks. Overall it's a nice summery/chill record that doesn't deserve the hate it's receiving. Why she went with that psychedelic/rave narrative to promote it will always be a mystery to me though. She set herself up by hyping it to sound radically different than FN and eventually releasing another dance pop record. And since it pales in comparison to the FN due to lack of smash hits, people see it as regression. I can't recall the last time a major pop artist handled their era so messily. From the rollout, to aesthetics… She should've just titled it „Summer Paradise" and describe as a chill, getaway record before something bigger. Ugh. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you will see the light one day! It is truly beautiful her vocals are gorgeous will minimal effort. I tear up each time I listen to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would have to switch around the singles though because Houdini doesn't really scream beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was she thinking? This maybe it will have an extended version like the singles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgaga1fan Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 No tea as much as we've collectively clowned on her numbers i don't think Dua is gonna suffer much in the long haul. Her next tour will sell regardless. She's a good performer and has soooo many massive hits to her name that the ticket is worth it off that alone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgaga1fan Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Also no tea the people I see dragging are Smilers and that woman hasn't given her fans a tour in a decade because she cannot sustain a live singing voice and acts like it's a more personal reason. Dua is a new professional performer regardless of the quality and reception of her work and will continue to get better. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black12345 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) The album is #1 on the German iTunes Charts. Her singles are in the Top 100 of the iTunes Charts. How is it doing in other countries? And how can we see the streaming counts? Edited May 5 by black12345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popboi. Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 She should've announced the tour right after SNL, she's on top of her game performer wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
