I don't think it sounds similar tbh… like i said, i drove all night is a better example 

I Drove All Night sounds like a 90s Mel C dance track :jonny: maybe the rave allegations are true

I'd certainly welcome a song reminiscent of Cyndi Lauper's version of "I Drove All Night"!

I think people have certain emotional connection to Future Nostalgia cause it was pandemic album and it helped us through those crazy time. For me the same thing is "Whats Your Pleasure?" by Jessie Ware, therefore they put it on some kind of pedestal and will compare it to Radical Optimism.

 

I feel like with the amount of new music coming out constantly and with the busy lives we are living many people don't take time to actually dive into new songs and create a connection with them, therefore they don't click with them just like songs which they listened during lockdown and had time to connect with them more.

I think he/she means "I drove all night" version by Celine Dion musically, its more dance-y

That user review kinda lowered my hype for it tbh :gaycat6:

 

At least Falling Forever seems like a great song.

Watch people confuse "Watcha Doing" with "Illusion" because of the lyrics in "Illusion" chorus haha

Some of y'all really hate your faves :skull:

 

There's not a single producer in the game right now who gives his level of work on ROL.

OMG :jonny:

 

I adore pretty please! 
 

So ready for Whatcha Doing. I can remember people expecting it would not be good based on titles. 
 

Could we potentially get a performance of it on SNL?

Does Dua and her team know this? And its potential?

People are trying to say that William hasn't produced anything on the level of ROL since… ROL

They're right, he peaked there and then never got close again, so

If Dua released song "Ray Of Light" now exactly as it is it would snatch everyone's and their grandma lace fronts plus it is exactly what would match the psychedelic dance/rock/pop vibe

It's not like he never had a production job afterwards and... didn't deliver...

 

Producers just like other artists have created some of their best works long time ago. It's not like they can walk into a studio and abrakadabra, create the same magic again. :skull:

I dont think issue is with him not having the creative magic he has but more with that he is considered "old school" and "non-commercial" producer and he will not make songs just for sake of making song if it doesnt match his vision. Madonna and Orbit were great match because they could literally do whatever they wanted for ROL

how did y'all listen already

I think what's often suspended from people's perception is the artistic merit of Madonna... She COLLABORATED with the producers she worked with, something that cannot be claimed by many of the pop stars we have today. Singers need to push their producers in order to avoid repetition... @T@ylor and J@ack...

That's cause best producers back then were better than today's best producers

Y'all put too much emphasis on that psychedelic thingy. It's a dance pop alboom. Of kors, Dua has an album to sell, so she's throwing some words around, but  I am pretty sure she made the album that she wanted to make

I agree, I myself posted comment few days ago that I full trust Dua vision of the new album and that people dont understand the word "inspiration"


Dua herself said she is a pop singer, so taking inspiration and certain elements and mixed them into a commercial pop is what I expect and that is exactly what she did on 3 singles we heard so far.

I have no idea what she'll release as the next single but I would love if she performed Whatcha Doing and Falling Forever on SNL :alexz:
