TrashMagiq Posted May 1 Posted May 1 kinda very impressive this hasn't leaked yet… she won (for once) 4 1
selena_lavigne Posted May 1 Posted May 1 What can i say about Miss Lipa? Genesis was a highlight for me when i first heard it. I remember listening to Blow Your Mind and New Rules with some of my friends in the car and we all stanned. New Rules blew up, i thought the video was phenomenal. I became a casual stan. Her dancing meme with One Kiss was and still is hilarious and made me think she was really cool. I remember i was in college in the 8 B building when she was teasing Don't Start Now and i was so excited to listen to the snippets. Don't Start Now came out and I thought it was a good song. Then i started noticing a lot of women in my school using Dua Lipa as a reference for their own work. Which, is a reference i can get on board with. I stanned their songs. Physical came out and I thought it was great. Being in FN era and Rare era at the same time was a lot of fun. When FN came out, i was happy it was pushed up a week since i was going through it as we all were during the pandemic and having a great album come out during the first few days of the pandemic was awesome. Levitating was my instant favorite from FN. Break My Heart i always thought was an amazing song and bigger than a lot of people give it credit for. I was very happy Levitating did not go #1 and made a GIF i thought was very funny at the time all in good fun. When i was able to go to the clubs they played Dua A LOT. And i really enjoyed listening to Dua at the club. We're Good came out and i thought it was one of her best videos and i loved hearing it on the radio. I also pieced together that Dua and Selena have worked with a lot of the same people and potentially that might be why i really enjoyed Dua's production and writing. Cold Heart was a magical experience at the clubs. When Dance The Night came out i thought it was a bit childish but it really grew on me over time. I saw the Barbie movie 3 times in theatres. Twice in English and once in Spanish. I thought it was funnier in English. When Houdini came out i thoroughly enjoyed it but didn't get the advertising and descriptions for it at all. I kinda got over it quickly. When Training Season came out i would listen to both songs and they sounded great together. When Illusion came out i decided to officially get hyped for the album. The Illusion video is the only video i thought was to my taste. I don't know what to expect from this album, she seems to be telling a love story, which i like, but i still don't understand the connection to the Radical Optimism title. And anyways i'm excited.

SayIt Posted May 1 Posted May 1 I wanted to rank the singles prior to the release of the album. I love all three singles truly. Training Season and Illusion were instant for me. Houdini took 4 months before it clicked for me but I still supported it! I will rank the full album after a week. I ranked each song from 1-10 (10 highest) for instrumental, lyrics, vocals, melodies and overall vibe. The results are listed below. Houdini: Instrumental: 10/10 Lyrics: 8/10 Vocals: 8/10 Melodies: 7/10 Vibe: 10/10 Average: 8.4/10 Training Season: Instrumental: 8.5/10 Lyrics: 10/10 Vocals: 9/10 Melodies: 9.5/10 Vibe: 9/10 Average : 9.2/10 Illusion: Instrumental: 7/10 Lyrics: 8/10 Vocals: 8/10 Melodies: 9/10 Vibe: 10/10 Average: 8.4/10 Personally: Training Season > Illusion > Houdini We were served top quality. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album! 2
