Dua Lipa - 'Radical Optimism'


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

People who don't love this album - why? I'm a little confused cuz I don't really hear anything flat out wrong with it. Yeah some tracks could hit a bit harder but overall I think it's a very consistent body of work. People in here are acting like it's Feed The Beast level and that's saying something

Training Season is the only dud

Training Season hate is so stale. Definitely a highlight in the album!

It's just all about subversion of sky high expectations for Dua, the reactions would be different if this album came out after DL1

High standards after FN, Kim wasn't really delivering before FTB

 

FWIW, I like this album more than FN overall but it needs a Levitating/Physical to appeal to the masses

The idea that some songs will debut with under 1M is actually making me scream jddkjdks

 

The fact that Houdini and TS debuted with decent numbers and it's been down since kinda tells me TS is where people got lost.

I still don't understand why Anything For Love is so short, it should've been more than an interlude!!!

Idk about this deluxe thing, if she had a Katy song with a video why she didn't tease it before and create some hype around it lol

They literally don't even count anywhere and nobody takes their word vomit seriously, they can post whatever for all I care.

You on the other hand seem to take this whole thing a bit too seriously as you've been glued to this thread since the album came out and reaching the point of recording embarrassing toddler humor voice notes you might consider taking a walk outside for some radically optimistic vibe

The way this is what you drastically need to do .

It's unexplainable really, all 3 singles debuting with 4/5M and suddenly weeks later the album release has songs under 1M and the highest one can't crack 3M? Something shifted.

I'll conveniently blame Poets release, the public is still absorbing the 30 tracks

9 out of 11 tracks has been on repeat whole day today. As much as I enjoy the album though, I hope Dua takes more risks with her next project. This album was a little too safe for what it was promised.

That song tanked the era, I'm absolutely sure of it. Houdini was somewhat promising then TS happened and it was all over from there. TS is a super cute song but it's not the type of song you should release as a single… ever 

 

Whatcha Doing really needed to be the second single, I'll stand by that forever.

She needs to CANCEL the era, no deluxe version and no milking. Go back to the studio and have a new album ready for spring 2025.

THIS 

DL4 better be in early talks already, pitching ideas idk. RO can still have those summer concerts but that's it

They clearly think so if they already shot a video for it, might as well milk it more with the hype

Training Season is a really good pop song, it's just that nothing she would have released after Houdini had any chance to do well. The (false) narrative that she hasn't yet left her FN sound was too strong.
