ChrisTheLoner Posted May 18 Posted May 18 1 hour ago, Relampago. said: Anyways yeah this era is a colossal failure so far, Houdini is our only modicum of success Album still works for me, I love it, but I understand why it's not connecting with people. I'm almost positive Dua will be my #1 most listened to artist this year but I don't know if she'll have my #1 song. I can play this album front to back with ease, but outside of EOAE/Houdini there's nothing I'm really putting on repeat cause there isn't anything that's GRABBING my attention. Meanwhile, even though I don't prefer FN, Levitating, Love Again, Break My Heart, etc were on REPEAT. Anyways, Sabrina's probably getting my #1 song of the year. Espresso is catchy pop done RIGHT without needing to be too serious or in your face, earworm incarnate. Doodua's team needs to take NOTES! Billies album is catchy pop done RIGHT along with the ballads which I also liked. Idk why everyone has such a hard-on for Espresso, Feather is the far better song meanwhile Espresso screams cheap knock-off and desperation to get a hit (which worked in her case). I really think she should build up the hype and pull all the promo stops (fortnite, performances, talk shows, award shows, etc.) instead of the traditional rollout she opted for this era. The formula worked well with FN but they really needed to change it up this era. Next time around she needs to not release any pre-release stuff just put the album out as a whole body of work. That will help first day/week streams tremendously, especially if its amazing. Don't get me wrong I love RO but she misled people saying its "psychedelic" when its nothing of the sort. Somebody lied to her several times and told her she was giving psychedelic but she gave nothing of the sort. Also she needs to get BETTER management idk how much this can be stressed. Daddy Lipa is not the tea, it has to be said! 1
IBeMe Posted May 18 Posted May 18 (edited) yeah I REALLY dont want her to tour this record tbh. Nothing about it is exciting. I want her to spend as little time as possible on this era not even because of the underperformance but because the music itself feels uninspired....idk how to explain it. If she delivered ACTUAL psychedelic pop and it was quality record but just didnt click with the GP or wasnt commercial enough and bombed I wouldnt care and I'd be satisfied because she would have still DELIVERED excellent music but were in this weird situation where she delivered ok pop songs (with a couple gems) and then flopped too....it's a weird place to be in. I REALLY hope she's already thinking about DL4 and mapping it out in her head and hopefully will start working on it in the fall or early 2025 to hopefully have it ready for fall 2025 or something.

SayIt Posted May 18 Posted May 18 Everyone is really coming for Dua now that the numbers are not great. If the numbers were everyone would be praising RO. She literally made this album for the live music aspects and people want her to skip a tour. I do want a new album sooner than later not because RO is not doing the greatest but new music is new music! 3

Ivan_brit Posted May 18 Posted May 18 Can we talk about how she is doing great at Youtube (despite that every year videos gets less views) 122,403,255 views 30,269,467 views 22,092,442 Views Houdini outviewing a lot of lead singles or big hits TS video surpassing 30 million is shooking since theres no replay value, Illusion is only 1 month old... wondering waht could be the views by the end of this year Even Houdini Live is getting nice views 12,020,558 views
NostalgiawithDua Posted May 18 Posted May 18 (edited) Houdini and Training Season were sonically and visually dark, really wanted a whole gritty dance electronic album for DL3. Falling Forever came close but that's it about it. All 3 of them feel out of place with rest of the album. They should've either committed to dark aesthetic or a summer album with lead single this year and they radically fcuked up…. Edited May 18 by NostalgiawithDua 11 2

Asherio Posted May 19 Posted May 19 (edited) People saying she should not tour this are being obtuse for absolutely no reason. This album instrumentation will probably go off live, some of you are tripping. Also she will probably include other songs from FN and DL + DTN etc… So overall it should still be filled with hits and a great time production wise. She wrote RO while on tour with FN so there is nothing stopping her from creating new stuff while on the road. Some of you need to chill about numbers, it's not cuuute. 💀 Edited May 19 by Asherio 4

You ODHs are so corny and not even in a funny way, just an insufferable way Yes she did, but only once with Dance The Night and it was the time EVERYONE did autoplay on Wednesday of release week. In these months the autoplay feature was more focused on users who listened to the same genre of the song. You would never had DTN in queue after listening Metallica, the only time that happened was with Flowers. The Coffee Girl career has been based on autoplay since Nonsense, have people already forgotten all those threads about that? Her random jumps and random falls for months?
