It clearly did. 

 

What we got now is obviously the re recorded changed version. All the signs point to it. 

if you get it you would see how all the songs fit perfectly together... and the aesthetic fits the album really well too. this was always a summer album.

Maria is growing on me now. I had an issue with the chorus but now it's sounding better

This is my first Dua album release on ATRL.
 

I can't contain my excitement :duca:

 

The only snippet I have heard is These Walls that Dua posted. I hope this listen will be magical for me :duca:

Just finished it. Idk i dont think i'll ever go back to this album other than Houdini. 

Good luck to her but nothing really stands out. Just bunch of fillers. 

+ Kevin Parker never really did a good job with pop girls. His sound only works for him.

There's nothing psychedelic about this :deadbanana2: The whole album feels very... Euro-pop; like the kind of music they would play in a lounge or cafe in Paris. And some tracks give straight-up Eurovision vibe (Falling Forever)

 

"These Walls" is the highlight for me. It's basic but it feels different for Dua and a good summery track.

The production feels far too subdued on most of the album for me personally. It feels like it's lacking something, definitely going to have to listen a few more times to see if it grows on me.

Thank god I'm not the only one with the same opinion.  I got a warning and people thought I was trolling just because I am not liking the new songs. Houdini was ok it grew on me too. 

Falling forever could have been great but that loud forever note is too much for my ears. These walls is tolerable i guess.

Girl both albums are dance pop and nothing genre bending lol. It's not really a brand new sound for her. Most people (specifically the GP) won't think twice about this being some departure from her past sound… because it's not.

Yea I am sure y'all are just trolling at this point so I'm not gonna entertain this.

I don't understand why the album is out rn on UK and not on midnight local time? 12am UK time is the exact time when Spotify starts counting streams for the full debut day. This will mess up her day one streams a bit. So weird. :deadbanana:
