So… what now

Seems like she's able to pretty much stay absolutely stable today streaming wise. If we manage to have a nice hold tomorrow too (for the Sunday update), this era might actually not be over yet. We just need them to pivot to pushing These Walls instead of Illusion, which just won't do anything on the charts

End of an Era is giving song of the summer, I'm obsessed 

 

:clack:

I don't know what's happening but this album is CLICKING for me right now. Whatcha Doing is hitting me like a freight train. I'm totally switching! Whew.

 

I think the reception is partly due to the fact that people check in to a Dua album for dance bops. And although the songs are dance(ish), they are different for Dua casual listeners.

 

But once people have a chance to sit with this album for a bit, whew… people are going to realize how good this is.

They need to have A PLAN for These Walls, they can't just send a song to radio again and just wait and see what it does

 

We need aggressive promo but I don't think she will ever do that again

Now, comparing these walls with abba is a crime :gaycat7:

No, I also got ABBA vibes.. the melancholy, the harmonies, the call and response, the upbeat but laid back tempo, the slightly unusual chord progression, they were cooking

Thats what I was saying: Give us Beyonce ca 2006 when she was EVERYWHERE.

Send her to GMA, Graham, Kimmel, Fallon, Seth Meyers, Colbert, ... like I dont care where, just send her and make her perform 

She won't she's a "big popstar" those thing's are below her, even though she's struggling to sell 70k first week :toofunny2:

The very evident Abba influence for me is on Training Season.

you see skinny fats?

she needs to perform all the time! she is excellent live (her voice has always been immaculate but not given enough attention because she puts on a great show too). It brings the songs to life!

Y'all are radically optimistic that with these numbers her label is interested in releasing 6 proper singles from an album that has 11 tracks :laugh:

New Rules was the 7th single for Dua Lipa. Before that it was New Love, Be the One, Last Dance, Hotter Than Hell, Blow Your Mind (Mwah), then Lost In Your Light.

 

They will absolutely release more singles.

Like help what do i do?? Do i **** him???

First of all, can someone get her a damn stylist. The way everything she has worn for events, including red carpets and performances, have been FUGLY. 

btw, Jahleel Weaver (Rihanna's stylist) dressed her for SNL

 

there is a possibility that he will style her outfit for the Met Gala. Is it good or bad? we'll see...

Dua knows how special Happy For You is and just had to perform it for us fellow connoisseurs of musical taste, love her for that

Came to this thread to say I don't think there's a chance she's going to tour this album.. the tickets wouldn't sell due to the overall underperformance of the album cycle

It's just… boring

Her refusal to wear any color besides red, white and black is also confusing to me 

 

When Rih had red hair she used that in combination with color to make her looks go extra hard, meanwhile Dua seems to think you can't match anything with red :confused:

Falling Forever is a grower. A Eurovision'd bop
