Cause ya are coming at Dua like as if she committed some kind of a crime by giving us a good pop album. 8 hours ago, perpetual novice said: where is the tour... this era is a disaster Yeah can they at least do this. Honestly do we even know what went down between her and her previous management? Because one could argue ever since then she hasn't been the same. I feel like she feels burned out from how much promo she did before that she doesn't want to overwork herself but it's like you still need to put in some kind of effort sis... 1 hour ago, NostalgiawithDua said: Are we ready to categorise RO with Artpop, Witness, Bionic or is it too irrelevant for that!? Yall dont feel weird being this damn overdramatic like??? 8 hours ago, mike_int said: I think tour will get announced after Glastonbury performance to use the momentum This would actually be a smart move 8 hours ago, BrokenMachine said: I'd love for them to announce a tour for the album, but it's not like they invested way too much promoting this album and now they need a tour to get their investment back. There were zero features, the artwork was cheap, their infamous payola wasn't there, and there were like three televised performances. The budget so long has been like 10% of FN so there's no need for them to try to milk more this era. They can leave it at those already sold out shows and end it on a high note. Cheap? A photoshoot where the aeshtetic is a summer vacation is cheap now? Cause the production sessions weren't. Her videos aren't either. The way yall are switching on her after exaggerating an underperformance just meas yall weren't real fans and weren't stats sheep's smfh 8 hours ago, mike_int said: Thank God there were no features. Nothing worse than unnecessary feature. She opened Grammys, performed at Brits and hosted and performed on SNL and will have the main stage at Glastonbury next month, what more you guys want? It is still more than other singers who released albums this year. So stop complaining all the time cause you are really acting like little kids with attention span of 5 minutes who needs someone in jumping up and down in front of their faces so they are not bored. If all you need to like the album is chart position then it is really sad. Thank you someone with common sense 12 hours ago, Cain said: Dance DJ collab We need to cover all bases No more forced and unnecessary remixes for Dua please and thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music videos have budget to it, but like I said, it's 10% compared to Future Nostalgia. Future Nostalgia got way more videos, including alternative versions and the lyric videos weren't just BTS shoots. Also into that 10% I was counting the cost of the countless performances she did around the world for that era. I couldn't care less about stats, I was just pointing out how her label didn't put much effort into this era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relampago. Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 HOW LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG.mp4 till a tour announcement I am positive that it'll be the one slay of this era, the McDonalds concert was so Glastonbury is gonna be the true "British Lemonade" as in it'll be the "British Beychella" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLIME Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 It feels like the singles had nothing to do with the album theme??? Girl this album was not really it for me. I still like all the extended versions and would rather listen to Dua than other pop singers I'd not mention. She should do a Homecoming thing yeah. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkheknowss Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) This album aged super quick for me except the magnum opus these walls + th singles… I don't know what was going on behind the scenes but it still baffles me how she wrote Houdini & TS and everything else AFTER illusion and thought… yep!! This is all cohesive and psychedelic. i don't really know what she could do.. I'm torn between her either just ditching the era or trying to salvage a hit with a Watcha doing or these walls remix she'll still have a successful tour I suppose she just needs to show people at glasto she can still put on a great show What's even worse is NOTHING is happening this era , hopefully it's a sign her team are just creating a strategy behind the scenes but at the very least they should be pushing a song or illusion as momentum for Glastonbur i feel like her dad really thinks the era isn't doing too bad because of the US debut numbers but I seriously hope Warner intervene and are more involved with the next era / going forward then they were this era. they did all they could with TTH placement etc but it was just a mix of subpar songs with a terrible rollout… why on earth the album released 7 months after Houdini god knows Edited May 24 by thinkheknowss 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzmyth Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Why do I feel she will rerelease this including 'dance the night' and 3 or 4 new songs trying one of them to relive the era. Anyway, I still wouldn't could her out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristie Kuwa Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 The problem with RO isn't necessarily the album itself, but everything else. There's no cohesion and focus. FN was a masterclass of an era - everything made sense, was perfectly timed and extremely well executed. From the outfits to the MVs to the promo gigs. Flawless. With this era, Dua wanted too much at the same time - Podcast, Barbie soundtrack and Oscar Ambition, Docufilm about Camden Town, psychedelic album meets eneric disco bops to make sure to ride on FN coattail. The styling did not make any sense at all, the interviews she did were useless (especially since she did not, for whatever reason, perform.Houdini), the MVs were CHEAP af, the random push of Illusion when it served buzz single from the get go. Just really, really, really BAD overall in terms of cohesion, management and focus. In a competitive year like 2024, its unsurprisingly met with instant death on the charts 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitnessOblivia Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I actually disagree, the album has grown on me a lot. A Watcha Doing remix to revive the era is necessary, me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingWitch Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I have a feeling there's a lot of scrambling behind the scenes, either deciding if the era is worth salvaging or just moving on to the next project, hence the dead silence right now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
