Panned album, no hits, bad visuals, boring fashion, abysmal streams and sales

 

But we're having fun

Maria is a local single with some European girlie, maybe from Italy

Ariana / Harry need to be booked for Watcha Doin or and These Walls

This truly is her solar power 

It just feels uneventfull with no standouts

Houdini is one of the best tracks of her career and she didn't even do proper promo. 

Her dad needs to stay away from her.

the flute break.. I'm obsessed, European girls get it

It's just excellence, ugh. The way NO ONE talked about it before the album came out has me thinking that Covid did a number on people's taste :mandown:

End of an Era the SERVE that you are

I hate this 1-2 run, the songs couldn't be more different

Honestly end of an Era is seamless after Happy for you, so I think its deliberate where End Of An Era is the true closer, but also kind of an opener.

End of an Era needs to be on White Lotus S3. These Walls needs to be on some melodramatic Netflix drama. Whatcha Doing needs an Ariana feature. Happy For You needs to be spammed on tiktok over footage of Louis and Harry or whoever girls ship these days.

On the bright side, there's no way to defend or spin the mega bombing and panning, so I can just live in my delusional world of being one of the few people who actually likes the album while cackling at the lashings we're getting

She deserves all the backlash for not promoting Houdini enough.

This is such a solid album. :clap3: I really like it. "Maria" and "End of an Era" are my faves of the album tracks.

Lets just say it takes true intellect to get this wonderful project, something the majority of humans clearly lacks

Dua Lipa's "Radical Optimism" has a hilarious album cover, two songs about illusionists and what may end up the year's most succulent bass playing. What it doesn't have is the kind of detailed celebrity meta-narrative that's come to define — and to propel — the superstar pop LP in music's parasocial age.

 

She should have debuted in 2008 I guess. Can this parasocial era end already

I don't see enough stanning for Happy For You!! such a gorgeous track and closer

but yeah overall i'm a little bit disappointed. I mean it's a good pop album but I was expecting more

 

in any case, given the status Dua reached because of Future Nostalgia I feel like the think pieces will not stop, and people will judge the album with that whole baggage instead of on its own (like with Taylor somewhat)

Delusion time! Illusion and TS have "- Extended" on their title, but Houdini has "- Extended Edit"

 

Could there be a 10-minute version in the vault?

The way I noticed it too, but the answer is they are just dumb and can't keep consistency
