Dua Lipa - 'Radical Optimism'


Recommended Posts

Posted

I wish she stuck with Houdini and Training Season’s more city-like aesthetics. I fear Future Nostalgia’s creative direction will never be outdone.

@Post Malone lurking and downvoting. Is it because Dua is serving excellent beach aesthetics before Camila's MIAMI?

Interesting title and cover given how the singles were promoted. Still my expectations are high for this one. :duca:

Not feeling the cover or title but we will be streaming

one of the best modern pop covers I've seen :jonny5: WOW!!

My only critique is that both Houdini and Training Season are dark sounding bops and they kinda don't go with the summery aesthetics imo but let' see

ALBUM AESTHETICS / sea theme was a last minute change.

Girl, the album cover was shot last summer. You are a confirmed fraud.

It's giving Future Nostalgia contradiction

i dont get the complaints about the aesthetic honestly. i feel like i fully get dua's vision for this era, concept, visuals, music, references... it's all clicking!

I like everything, my biggest concern is that the aesthetic doesn't match the vibe of the songs we have so far. Hopefully the third single will tie everything together?

 

Claiming Illusion, it sounds like the psychedelic serve we've all been waiting for & the title reminds me of Kylie/Aphrodite :smitten:

Vertigo never made sense IMO some members found a lyric from TS she liked and just ran with it :rip: 

It kind of made sense tho, with some of the visual choices

FINALLY :jonny::jonny::jonny: I have been waiting months for this announcement

 

Although I wish that the cover was better I still think it's cute, what matters most is that the tracklist looks promising

Posted (edited)

People have to remember Dua straight up said while FN was built around a specific sound/aesthetic (post-disco/late 70s/80s), DL3's construction revolved around a lyrical theme/idea. 

 

In other words, FN was specifically built around its aesthetic, which is why everything was so cohesive visually. Radical Optimism is built around an idea ("peace amidst chaos") and everything she includes in the era (aesthetically, sonically, etc.) is what she feels encapsulates that idea. I don't think we should expect cohesive looks.

I know it’s giving last minute change but at the end we got that “sign up for love optimism fun” thing from the start. Maybe the “dark side” is just a part of the album/era… and we’re going into something different now? H/TS are also both at the beginning of the album

 

also more of the songs it’s the performances for me, they were both a dark vibe so now this aesthetic feels weird 

 

Dua her complex mind

The cover looks like a piece of art

I honestly really like the new direction of the album, but yeah I'm struggling to see how Houdini and Traning Seasons vibe and aesthetics match with the album lol
