That's exactly my point, she's a bigger pop artist who should have more physical promo instead of all the ai **** they were trying to do to promote the album…..

But did you ever think that maybe she doesnt want to go to every talk show. maybe she doesnt want to do every award etc. ? Yes it would be so nice to to have tons of performances but on the other hand she has her life planned for next 2-3 years and I also think it is important she try to protect her mental health. I dont need her to end up like Zayn, Selena, Justin Bieber, Britney etc. She is smart business woman, she earns millions and she is capable to choose what she will do and what not.

IBeMe Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I hope for whatever music video she has next that she gives us more facial expressions. Her smizing isn't cutting it anymore. It was ESPECIALLY bad during the Training Season MV. I get the concept of the mv was her being bored but you can express that in sooooooo many ways. She didnt even roll her eyes or whatever. She just put her hand on her cheek and glared into the camera....it's giving no replay value. Even just smiling more or not smiling but doing different facial expressions and stuff helps videos become more lively....I thought she was starting to learn that towards the end of the FN era tbh but it's back to just serving one expression again. I think the easiest way for her to do it is for the next mv to have a storyline I guess. It will force her to animate a bit more instead of these more performance based mvs she's been serving. A video like the We Cant Be Friends video for These Walls where she acts a bit etc... will do her videography wonders. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NostalgiawithDua Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I think Dua needs to move away from Dance/Disco pop, it was successful for her but now i think that time is over, Sabrina kind of took her spot especially in US, time for her to take a risk and try something new, maybe Jazz-Pop inspired by Sade, her deep voice can do wonders for her….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but these kind of posts send me ngl Sabrina and her aren't even making the same music and they don't have the same brand. Yes, Dua dropped the wrong descriptions for the album and many of us deluded ourselves into wanting some psychedelic-rave fantasy. But the genre is not the problem. Dance-pop is Dua's lane, this is only her 3rd album, and she's still settling into her artistic identity. She's established herself as THE dance-pop girlie of this generation so if anything, she should keep doing dance-pop tinted with other influences for a few more albums before doing a full 180 / a drastic sonic pivot and dropping an Albanian Folk record. Here for the Sade-esque album though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here for the Sade-esque album though! I think the same comparison comes from the fact that they both are making carefree, harmless bops with fun lyrics and mvs. No one's really checking out their lyrics. Dua never really received the support from US during FN, the way Sabrina is receiving even though dua's music was miles ahead in terms of quality! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, but you did NOT just try to compare Sabrina and Dua Lipa right now, let alone ignore the fact Sabrina immediately flopped her momentum with Please Please Please 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TayDuaStan Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) Not that khia, Charli XCX's latest album debuting with almost the same amount of streams as Radical Optimism & that other khia, Sabrina Carpenter's album predicted to debut with like 40-50M, 30M over RO And let's not even talk about Billie's latest album. Literally no words… Yeah, as much as some you might say that this era isn't an underperformance, it is cuz it should've easily debuted with like 45-50M streams after what a smash FN was. Her team fumbled the bag big time. Hopefully she gets real management for her next era cuz this is honestly tragic Edited June 8 by TayDuaStan 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanaXtinaFan Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) To think we used to get incredible, interesting looks like this when she wore more than just black, red or white. I miss these times.

Joyride Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I bought a bunch of vinyl from her store and not a single one came in good condition. I'm so disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relampago. Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 This era is a disaster, front to back. Brat nearly out debuting is so embarrassing and they're putting absolutely 0 effort into making this era anything worth paying attention to. There's no hunger, no plan for success, nothing. Everything seems lazy and lacking ambition. If that's the case, FN will be her last huge era and we're getting everything phoned in from here on out. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migs Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) I've been listening to the album like crazy since it came out and one particular song always hits me harder each week. This week's addiction is French Exit. Those lyrics and the way she says filer à l'anglaise Edited June 8 by Migs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
