Starting my first listen

Keep us posted! We want to know what you think. Us "USA" girlies still have to wait

If this came out a month earlier, it would've gotten 10s across the board. Taylor broke poptimism

 

Dua girl we still love you. You just used the wrong word. 🤍

 

Watch her use this as fuel just as when people said she couldn't dance. 

Critics that matters:

The Guardian: 3/5
Independient: 5/5
Irish Times: 4/5
The Telegraph: 4/5

Whilst listening to filler season I feel like I need to comment about her describing the album. The thing is with Dua she absolutely NAILED the album influences with Future Nostalgia (Blondie, Moloko, Jamiroquai etc) so I fail to understand why she didn't get her intentions properly across on this go around 

I don't really love the album right now. Houdini is still great, very catchy. I really like French Exit and Watcha Doing is my favorite (by a large margin) so far. But yeah, the rest of the songs are decent, but not very strong. And the lyrics are way too cliché. I'll listen to it again tomorrow, but it feels like a weak 6/10 right now. Also, some of the songs are kinda boring for me, and it's the worst thing a generic pop song can be... 

This really is her Witness. 

Didn't realise NME still did scores under 80. Duallah single handedly defeating poptimism

 

If control is my religion

And I'm headin' for collision

Lost my 20/20 vision

Brutal ...

Nobody needs to know the details of Lipa's real life to lend her songs weight, but there should still be something in her performance, delivery, songwriting or production that sets them apart from platitudes, from background noise. In her dance-pop singles, she's proven that she can do the 'pop' part, but the 'star' is still lacking.

 

Whatcha Doing is such a vibe

Oh, this BASS

Yeah they are panning the album for what it is not, but she really had it coming  

How do you know? 

Falling forever making me feel like I'm dancing on a skyscraper with my boobs out and a glass of veuve clipuot 

It's over, critical and commercial failure 

Her solar power era in full swing.

 

Why are reviews coming out so fast?

not this album serving panned after flopped i just hope they don't cut the era short cause i need videos for FF and Maria

The lashings 

 

Independent and Rolling Stone are the only ones who are still automatically giving high scores to every popstar.

 

Poptimism is OVER
