TayDuaStan Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) No way Charli's Brat' gonna spend more weeks inside the Billboard 200 than Dua's highly anticipated follow up to the blockbuster that Future Nostalgia was… What is she doing with her career? I blame Dukagjin cuz if she was under the old management, we would've had a remix album by now, ton of performances, tour announcement, new singles, new MVs… Edited August 9 by TayDuaStan 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Phoenix Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 When the album came out I thought that it was mid and no growth whatsoever with the lyrics being very basic and dumb about guys and love at least the 3 singles and EOAE… But now with Katy's two last singles… it made me appreciate more RO and that while they may have generic lyrics and delivery at least they have great production and videos. Hopefully she relaunches the era or moves on to the next one fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow I have the complete opposite, the more time goes by, the more I realise how completely mid and boring this album is and I can't believe she recruited Kevin and Danny to make THIS Completing wasting the FN goodwill and letting the era die at the first sign of flopping, she's not the girl I thought she was 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The album aged like milk. Or maybe I was just deluding myself in the beginning since the GP and critics rejected it from the get go. Them not bothering after the floppage gives me some hope that they still have some sense though. The album was brutally rejected by the GP. You can't try to save a corpse LOL. All they can do is tack some new songs and older ones to it to make it seem like a cute success and then move on to DL4. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristie Kuwa Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 On 8/7/2024 at 2:23 AM, ChrisTheLoner said: Exactly, enough playing it safe with her imagery, sound, and attitude. She really had the cool and IT factor down in the FN era, but she played it too safe with RO. I could totally see her pulling off a BRAT-like persona which could really work in her favor. She clearly still has the public on her side so if she just sweeps the RO era under the rug and forget it exists (Like Gaga did with the ARTPOP era) then she could be fully back in the good graces of the GP and gain back that cool IT girl energy. Absolutely. Add to that the fact she completely mis-promoted the album prior to its release, setting up a completely different album than the one that appeared. The era was BAD Bad, from a creative standpoint as well as marketing point (lets just do what we did with FN again - what?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halcyonday Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Maybe she can pull a Radar and include Houdini & TS on DL4 and serve an actual cohesive project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitysmith Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I still think these are solid songs, though nothing so spectacular that it instantly takes hold for radio. She was trying to make an effort with the live versions of her songs more than anything else. My question is even though she wrote almost 100 songs for this album, she said only the amount she put on the album were any good. Was that a throw away comment said during promo? I hope so, because we need a deluxe version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroNich Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I have been such a Dua stan ever since I first heard Be the One back in 2016/17, but I can safely say this album never clicked for me. I really can't put my finger on why. Thematically I think it's too 'optimistic' for me to relate to in my life right now, and the songs while solid and boppy aren't special enough to be carried on the music quality alone. its a shame, I still use Houdini, Training Season and End of an Era but even those grew tired fairly quickly compared to her FN tracks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
