Dua Lipa - 'Radical Optimism'


Recommended Posts

Posted

Well if I'm being honest, I listened to it a few times and none of the new songs are really sticking with me except for Maria. It's more of a vibey album then a hit collection so it's not surprising it's gonna underperform. Saying that, I like the album but not as much as I hoped.

It's also nowhere near as epic as Houdini, especially it's extended cut, that sounds like a bunch of different elements of different songs put together too but it works. But TS does get the job done too, back to back bops

Houdini is that Bi**h!

astagfirallah why is everybody SO DRAMATIC. honey even if this era is a complete flopfest at least the music is good. don't let these dumb journalists tell you if it's good or not or ruin your experience with this album. and if the numbers suck well, better luck next album. dua always takes criticism well and we will for sure get a re-issued version down the line. 

 

in the meantime... stream this masterpiece

The way Houdini is like a good in bed tier song but sounds like Bad Romance in the context of the album ijbol

I'm still loving the album but I'm getting my lashings in now because they're only just beginning!

Dua will smash in Europe/Asutralia/NZ like she always does and might get a hit in South America as well. Shes global like that.

 

Dont get discouraged by the US who clearly needs to distribute hearing aids.

As I listen again and again the size of the disaster is starting to unfold. It's not even a matter of taste or having to get accustomed to it. The music in its essence is just unattempting and autopilot, down to the mixing, the productions, the lyrics, everything is unfiltered and uncooked. It might be the worst major label MPG release since Sweetener. A DISASTER to be remembered for years

These Walls being the most streamed album track and second overall is a win though. Taste  :clap3:

It's pushed on playlists :ahh:

I'll be honest I was not expecting the amount of ODHs this era has spawned and especially with this album launch. 

They are salivating at the thought of her album flopping. :shakeno:  

 

What did Dua ever do to you besides make fun pop music? It's generally confusing... :huh:

I listened to this today and found it to be such a mid album, particularly after four years. Nothing is interesting or distinctive, and there are zero viable singles beyond what has already been released. It's a huge fall-off in quality from Future Nostalgia, which I really enjoyed and consistently revisit.

U are surprised that US American publications drag her the moment they see an opening? The same ones that invented new ways of coming up with Billboard numbers to deny her the #1 Spot on their respective chart in favor of Bruno?

 

:suburban:

 

Dua is outspoken pro-Palastine, they hate her for that

Gurl please just STOP the LIES. Dua's overseas fans were fradulently buying Levitating in an attempt to manipulate the chart. This was organized by her Dua Lipa Hungary account. She was rightfully denied the no 1.

I'm trying my best to like that song since it appears to be a fan favorite but somehow it just refuses to grow. :dancehall2:
