unclefloprry Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 None of the songs on the album are as awful as Good In Bed or NMP, so this is a win for her. My top right now: Houdini - 100 End Of An Era - 100 TS - 95 HFY -95 Illusion -90 These Walls -90 Falling Forever - 90 Maria - 90 Anything For Love - 85 Whatcha Doing -80 French Exit -80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBeMe Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 If they remove that intro on Falling Forever it might be a cute single choice but if they keep the blasting intro vocal for the radio edit it just wont click. The GP has had enough with loud songs...its why whisper singing is back in style etc...I dont like whisper singing and I love that Dua is a "loud" vocalist but she cannot send FF as is to radio with that screeching vocal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing even remotely bad. The highs aren't as high, but it's a more consistently GOOD album (vs. FN's mostly great). Doesn't make it better ofc, though I still really enjoy it. 1 hour ago, IBeMe said: If they remove that intro on Falling Forever it might be a cute single choice but if they keep the blasting intro vocal for the radio edit it just wont click.

Really. I think it could be a meme and something that could be viral on tik tok. They need to nail the visuals/MV. She's whispering at the end of the song so she's giving us both sides of the coin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_heather Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Honestly i think she should let the rest of the songs as cute album tracks , record 3-4 REALLY psychedelic bangers and give us a re release after Summer if she wants to keep going with this era 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Null Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I know it's probably fake, but if she performs at the Olympics, I will be so gagged because she's done exclusively huge televised performances. Hopefully she has some new tracks or a collaboration coming soon, though. The campaign has been 9 months long so far including all the pre-release stuffs. It's a shame DTN ****** Houdini over, as everything would've gone so differently had it smashed, but oh well! At least the discourse around RO has somewhat turned into a positive one after Glastonbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjspy Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 (edited) Can she just release FF as single? Illusion is the one that is about to evaporate from Hot100 and we need a new, better, stronger representation there than that Italiam Top10 Radio Single from 2007. Which I enjoy but let's be honest here, the song bombed itself, TS and the whole album. I like it, but as a single, its literally the single from her I have the worst relationship with Edited July 9 by tjspy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the discourse around RO has somewhat turned into a positive one after Glastonbury. As the era unfolds it's becoming more and more clear to me that Dua's career is in good shape. No one 'cares' about the flop, her image is still very much in tact and I feel like people are genuinely still rooting for her and want her to smash again. If she releases a banger I'm sure she can get a worldwide hit again and take it from there News like Houdini being the most played song on radio globally this year and her selling out stadiums shows that everyone is still here for her, the material and era just didn't click with people but she's kind of getting a pass for that 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spicy_TyTy Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 An Olympics performance would be huge... She'd be on the list of legends like The Spice Girls and Kylie whose done it previously, which means you are an iconic Popstar so will just further solidify her legendary status. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naikuun Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) She should release a great music video for 'FF' and then go all out with a deluxe edition with tracks similar to Houdini, all before the Asian leg of the tour so she can promote it there and close the era with the tour. And as someone mentioned here, the album is solid. There's no song as weak as 'BWBB' or 'GIB' (even though I love 'GIB'), but for me, there's only one that is GOD TIER, and that's 'Houdini'. In the other hand FN for me had 'Physical', 'Levi', 'Love Again', 'DSN', and even 'BMH', which is a 9.5/10. That's why we really need that deluxe edition to be THE deluxe Edited July 10 by Naikuun .

BrattyBottom Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Damn...I love the extended versions. It got me through my Peloton workout today. Cooling down to French Exit after a couple gummies..would recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
