Dua Lipa - 'Radical Optimism'


Recommended Posts

Posted

Almost a month since the release and the album didn't grow on me.. I totally love Houdini, TS an Illusion but the rest is very underwhelming

It's giving me the same vibe as Plastic Hearts by Miley, Midnight Sky and Prisoner were total smash songs but totally different from the rest of the album

Latin America in July is only possible if she does covered venues, like roof-stadiums or arenas because it's their winter

I guess my country Won!! Mexico is hot during July :gayalipacat2:

 

Do the rest of Latin America really care about weather??? 
 

 

I attend last December to an open stadium show it was cold but tolerable

True about Mexico, a show there in July is possible, but still very hot, it's North America's summer

But a show in July in Buenos Aires or Santiago for exemple is not really suitable, I mean the average high temperature is like 15°c during the day so probably nearing 0°c the night

the desperation to add barbie songs and a disco song to psychedelic album to boost its chances of getting a platinum certification and label the album a success and remove flop to it. Streaming fakes everything and even flops can rig the game to get a platinum certification. The label prob knows the flopping of the whole situation and prob forced it on the album to save face. A complete disaster of massive proportions. A katy pery teenage dream - smile situation not even a witness in between. Tactics to say .. they wont push another single. That way the album can get certified while they dont have to waste money promoting another sure flop.

I don't buy this "people don't know her personality" reason. They didn't during FN either and yet that still smashed.

she was new and the music was fresh and great. She was more or less rather new on the music scene especially in the USA. Also dababy helped levitating a lot.

My prediction:

 

November - Asia

February / March - USA / Canada 

May / June - Europe

July - Latin America 

 

Not sure when she could do Australia & New Zealand 

She was rumored to be in talks to headline festivals in Latin America in March/April 2025 (lolla, stereo picnic and more) but honestly that's a bad decision for me, she has demand to do big venues here.

Also are we back to DL1 days? "Asia tour" like this obviously the Asian leg of a much bigger tour 

 

Why isn't she announcing it like that :toofunny3:

they literally did the same for the FN tour announcement, and kept it for the rescheduled dates as well. i get that this thread is just where everyone complains about anything now but this complaint is absolutely pointless, it's titled asia tour bc the dates are in asia.

New York Times music critics' take on Radical Optimism and why it works and doesn't work as an album but also about Dua's position in music right now (tbh everything they said made a lot of sense except for a couple random comments here and there that were unfair I think):

But I thought the streams counted towards the album with more streams overall, that's why Prisioner streams count for Future Nostalgia and not Miley's album? 

On Billboard it counts towards the album that is selling the most at the moment, I believe.

its weird that in 2024 they can't figure out how to just add the streams from each album separately? like basically having two different versions for each album to avoid this...

I've been hearing These Walls everywhere lately. Is it officially a single? 

Posted

So, basically she's touring next year and won't be starting the new era anytime soon, let's just get high profile collabs to keep her on charts, also she chose 55K capacity arena in Philippines when none of the RO tracks or singles charted there?! Good that her team is finally expanding her market…..

Eminem having a song called Houdini as his big come back could be a positive :eli: Now when ppl will look for the song they might stream Dua's by mistake and get her to 1 billion quicker! 

Also, she needs to start some drama or whatever. Kanye vs Taylor was a mess but it helped both of them in some ways so maybe this can help Dua :-* then again...watch her be asked about it and just smile and say something nice about Eminem and recommend a biography about his life or something for her book club :skull:

Would Warrener records be able to add Houdini to RO if they combine both Houdini's? :duca:
