Ditch Daddy Lipa, sign with an actual management company, book lots of performances, sack Kevin, call up Oscar Holter, Cirkut, Jack Antonoff, A.G. Cook etc and serve some undeniable pop excellence.

TayDuaStan Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Happy For You is the only Radical Optimism song I'm currently coming back to frequently. The rest is so flavorless, boring… Something happened during the RO sessions cuz this ain't the Dua i know, the one who released Genesis, One Kiss, Don't Start Now, Cool, and the hundreds of FN unreleased which are miles better than 90% of the album 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBlue Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Oh no no no no SG Lewis lashings here. He produced one of best things of this planet EP HEAT with Tove Lo and other amazing songs. I would be very happy if he would work with Dua 1 minute ago, TayDuaStan said: Happy For You is the only Radical Optimism song I'm currently coming back to frequently.

People were saying that dance the night is the most Dua Lipa song ever and she needs to do something else 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnAnti Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 dua needs max martin for the next era and she needs to try to go back to more colourful aesthetic, not to be shady but she seems like she is having the same career trajectory as katy perry so she needs to hurry up and save her career before she became a khia like her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RO is bigger than Smile (an album that charted for 4 weeks on BB200 and barely charted WW), by miles. Ms Perrished got lucky with HIH going viral and NRO being a moderate hit for her. The album itself a certified colossal bomb and 143 is coming to outbomb it. I'd be hiding in the thread if I were you.

If anything Dua is going through her Witness/Smile era right now (meanwhile Katy's 3d era had her biggest smashes Roar and Dark Horse, SuperBowl, and a 260M grossing global tour) but without the media backlash cuz she's smart enough to stay on vacation instead of having public meltdowns.

ahauntingnearu Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Dua was never in a million years even close to Katy's success level at peak. That said, do I still receives acclaim, or at worst no negativity. She also hasn't made bad / goofy clown music that gets torn apart. she just needs to come back with badass music, less cutesy than RO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RO has a clear direction, it's just kind of … flat. Illusion feels like the centerpiece, and I do like that song, but it's lacking oomph and a legit climax. She should've leaned more into the euro beach club vibe and done a concept album of partying in Ibiza in a 24 hour period or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe was able to clear the budget for Ian, Caroline & Emily to write another hit like New Rules. I'd imagine Warner would be more hesitant to give her more budget this time around.

State of Grace. Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 It's not like they spent a lot on this era tbh? Sure they booked the producers/songwriters. But outside of the aborted TS video which apparently was huge, the visuals from the MVs to the photoshoots are very low budget. This is not what I expected a follow up to FN to look like nnn. The marketing was also ****. They didn't even book many events/performances. I don't think budget will be a problem for her. She remains one of Warner's biggest and most relevant artists with Gen Z in 2024. She'll also be making a lot of coins from her summer shows and the incoming tour. There will definitely a lot of meetings and roundtables about the next era though. Hopefully her Daddy gets less control. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katara Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 She def needs KOZ back. He does magic to her stuff. I was shook when I heard the Physical demo before he re-worked it. He turned it from a 7/10 to a 11/10 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
