She lost another 100K followers on IG. She started the era with 88.8M and now it's 88.2M. Truly a cursed era! :gaygacat7:

So I guess the only way to fully enjoy this album is with radical optimism.

Yeap it's going to be that much harder for her to be honest and admit they're hurting her career, right now she's probably blaming everyone else but her dad. It will take long before she realises.

I hope she has a good support System, going from FN + DTN even to the disaster of this album commercially speaking must be quite crazy. Maybe it helps her realize u cant pretend to be Beyonce or Taylor 4-5 years into your career like that. They've released ~8 albums (Bey + DC) before approaching their releases like that.

I fear that if the tour does well they won't care

Well they need to understand that the reason the tour does/did well is because it is/was riding the FN era and tour.

Seeing the current development, its easy to see that if DL4 is not a solid success, she can confidently say goodbye to her tour power next go around

My ranking, 2 weeks later

 

1- End of an Era: lowkey my SOTS

2- Houdini: major grower, will age like wine

3- Anything For Love: would be #2 if the second half was a full song

4- These Walls: her "Cool"

5- French Exit: very unique, kind of the only song on the album weird and #psychedelic enough to justify Kevin's involvement

6- Training Season: it kind of clicked recently. the production going quiet in the chorus completely kills it but the melodies are good

7- Illusion: it's ok. if you told me it's an FN leftover, I'd believe you and I would totally get why it didn't make it. It's Hallucinate's less pretty, stiffer big sister

8- Maria: very cute but also very generic. feels like a Euro DJ feature by one of the other Albanian girls

9- Whatcha Doing: the chorus is annoying. also giving FN leftover 

10- Happy For You: skip, snooze, bathroom break 

11- Falling Forever: unlistenable

 

Have the DL4 writing camps commenced? :celestial2:

She is obviously going ALL OUT for the tour, knowing that the album is DOA and she definitely knows this :skull:

 

Also she might ride for the FN-era success of the tour, but I know she'll become a touring artist in the future. But she definitey needs a HARD RESET for DL4, but knowing that she loves to prove everyone wrong, who knows maybe she'll achieve another success again next era

Yup she thought she was big enough to not promote and just let the label handle playlist and radio whilst taylor was promoting speak now everywhere on album number 3 even after the Fearless juggernaut. You reap what you sow. And contrary to dua stans i did not hear a dont start now this era. That song you instantly adore on first listen.

Yea I really hope they're honest with themselves and pay attention to the (numerous) misses/missteps/mistakes from this era, both musically and non-musically.

Can someone explain to me why Houdini, Training Season and Illusion was doing very well prior to the release of the album but starting to fall once it was released.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but if she goes back to TaP, it's not going to change anything I fear

 

All she needs to do is strategize and plan a rollout better. Like, there's no need to start an era way back in November 2023 when she would be busy campaigning for an Oscar (who ended up not getting it at the end) or releasing Illusion 3 weeks before the album when she could've pushed it during an album release instead of pushing an album track :skull:

 

She should've just released the lead in February 2024, after the Oscar nomination. There's clearly a hype for her comeback, but she botched it all :skull:

 

A hard reset definitely needs to happen for the next era

they were contractually obliged to release music video where Dua wears Puma, due to their contract with them. 

 

I agree, the roll out was too long. The re-shoot of TS video was mess, it completely killed the song. 

 

Im happy with the album, but Illusion is the only video with replay value for me

Maria is right there. Could be a cute little radio hit for summer if she delivers a decent music video.

 

I really doubt they will just throw the towel without releasing 1 or 2 more singles. :michael:
