I dont understand why she would make such a mature album at this point in her career. I just cant get into it.

Happy For You raised this from a 7 to a solid 7.5 for me, at least on the first listen

I hope the album grows on me. The singles and Maria are the only songs that are doing it for me right now :emofish:

i can't wait for tomorrow and the "radical optimism flopped", "what happened to dua?", "CopyPaste Micronesia gave the album a 2/5 review, is it over for her?" threads

this is supposed to be a feel good album for us europeans (the rest of the world can hop on if they want), americans are not allowed.

I understand this, it definitely feels like an album that a popstar would make when they're winding down, not necessarily in the peak of their career

This is kind of monotonous. Houdini really sticks out sonically compared to the others

 

I still do not hear any of the influences she discussed when hyping this album

 

She should move on quickly from this and put out some droplets

Honestly, if Pitchfork gives this more than a 7 it will be impressive, although who cares about Pitchfork's opinion anyway

the singles are like the best ones in the album 

 

anyone expecting something better than what she already released is about to be disappointed
