SayIt Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I absolutely love the album cover. It is definitely not what I expected. Very simple but beautiful. I love the focus is not solely on her and is nicely shot. Excited that the album is close. Not a long wait at all 1
DoubleRainbow! Posted March 14 Posted March 14 My friends who are casual Dua fans are having a hard time trying to pronounce the album name
Abracadabra Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Okay I love the album cover now, it's kinda giving late 90's/early millennium balearic beat/rave/trip-hop classic 1
theweekend Posted March 14 Posted March 14 loveeeeee the cover and everything of it. French exit will be an anthem. I can already feel it. 2
thedamnking Posted March 14 Posted March 14 What a sh*tty album title and album cover, I don’t see the connection between these visuals and album vibe at least based on the two singles 1
NoOneDiesFromLove Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I’m gonna be honest for a minute I couldn’t remember what the name of the album was and my brain went trough ‘Disruptive Optimism” and then “Radical Feminism’ before I had to come on here to check Its gonna take a while to get used to that title 1 3
Motivation93 Posted March 14 Posted March 14 If the album is 26 mins that means each song is like 2 mins 10 seconds and that’s insane especially with the Kevin Parker production I feel like even the radio versions of Houdini and training season sound rushed? I doubt a Brit psychedelic pop album would be reduced to 2 min Tik tok sounds. Can someone confirm it’s not true?
enchanted0 Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Ugh I’m so glad Choas Theory is not a title Radical Optimism is great

Djdnjd Like can people please just think. Both songs so far are 3+ minutes. A 26 min album would mean the remaining songs are all 2 mins. 9

ChrisTheLoner Posted March 14 Posted March 14 The cover and aesthetic are both a major serve We all saw the visuals she was serving by the pool for Houdini so the aesthetic is really not too far off at all from that. Besides that the aesthetic going from DSN cover to FN cover was night and day in difference and the FN cover still ATE and went along perfectly with the rest of the era's aesthetic. Since some yall wanna go on so much about the "aEsThEtIc!!1!!!".
popularmoonlight Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Not really sold on the title, it’s giving alternative magazine. And she in fact use some interludes (ion know how the album will sound but i’m sure it would be nice to have it). 11 tracks don’t do it for me, I’ll be obviously listening tho
BANKS Posted March 14 Posted March 14 on the cover, is she a mermaid and those are her fins, or is that a shark? i saw other photos and she’s giving mermaid vibes…
NoOneDiesFromLove Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I think I like the cover now. Like I get what they were going for even though at first I thought it was supposed to be her with a mermaid tail but I just wish they’d used a different shot because you can barely even see Dua
Into The Void Posted March 14 Posted March 14 1 hour ago, DoubleRainbow! said: My friends who are casual Dua fans are having a hard time trying to pronounce the album name Uhm it's not that hard lol
Walk_Away21 Posted March 14 Posted March 14 The title seems weird when Houdini and Training Season are the opposite of optimism lol. Hopefully the album delivers.
