Sabrina has her hair and cute-girl next door that could kill you vibe, Billie has her emo clothes and green hair, Chapell has her drag. Dua has no identity outside of looking pretty now. In fact, her bored face and "go girl, give us nothing" was more of an identity trait than whatever she is now. Imagine if she's able to tour Asia with multiple sold out dates (something many can't do) or sell out 2 Wembleys in minutes right now, what will she be able to do when she gets a face? 6
tkoivan Posted August 26 Posted August 26 The infamous CVS "Radical Optimism" journal is out there in pieces. Some titles: (I'm guessing based on lyrics since some aren't titled ) Only Love Can Break Your Heart Alone Generation Moving Different Magic In The Air Nowhere Curious on how these sound! Let's hope for a deluxe soon. 3

Whereas RO is bone dry. It helped keepthe momentum going when she and team weren't planning something official 2

We will gladly take those. Edited August 26 by katara 1 6
Bookmark99 Posted August 26 Posted August 26 She's arrogant after FN now you can tell. She thinks she doesn't have to try that hard and her father enables her delusions. If she was a popstar in the early 2000's they would have had her promoting the **** out of every era regardless of how successful the one was before. The fact that she went on vacation after dropping Houdini is a joke. She doesn't have the work ethic or stamina. 8

I'd love her to keep that same level of promotion/performing this era, too -- but my stanning brain aside, good for her for separating work from life. She has a fabulous, exciting, worldly life. She's having fun and clearly doesn't have much pressure from her label. SHe's being authentic and I think that's awesome. Edited August 26 by ahauntingnearu 7 1

That's pretty cool 😎 ( pun intended).
Solaria Posted August 26 Posted August 26 Another day with no Amsterdam tour date announcement, I hope DL4 becomes the death kiss for her career 1 1
Nefertiti0 Posted August 27 Posted August 27 RO left Billboard 200 after 15 weeks and Illusion left Hot 100
NostalgiawithDua Posted August 27 Posted August 27 2 hours ago, Solaria said: Real era starts in January this was just a trial run I'm sorry but that's exactly what she deserves. Hope she's snubbed by Grammys and Brits. Billie, Olivia, Doja and Sabrina's marketing teams are so creative and innovative, her team consists of 50 year old yes mam's. The worst part is this era didn't even get any budget and by looking at its performance, next era will be facing the same fate… 1 3

Her sudden apocalyptic downfall will be studied in the future like Katy/Paula Abdul. Thanks Dua's greed. Thanks Dukagjin. Thanks Kevin Parker. 2 4 1
stevenisFADING Posted August 27 Posted August 27 hopefully we get something in September before her festival performance in the US.
katara Posted August 27 Posted August 27 I am worried for the tour also. Like they must be on crack if they think the GP wants to hear those RO album tracks. The tour will be panned as well if she does that. 1 1
LanaXtinaFan Posted August 27 Posted August 27 Im so glad this album flopped so miserably hard. Should send a clear message to both her and her team that she can NOT get by with some mediocre music like Radical Optimism again. The album is a total bore and GP clearly said no. If you're not going to deliver quality pop music like FN, keep it. I just hope this flop hasn't hurt her career, and can have a comeback. Because she has been complete MIA in the states for months and months now, and nobody cares. They need to campaign hard again next time. And the music needs to SERVE. 4 2

Ivan_brit Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Rising coming for Cowboy Carter streams Btw…. Tour announcement could finally be announced next week
NostalgiawithDua Posted August 29 Posted August 29 These Walls might be the next single, was sent to the radio in France.

katara Posted August 29 Posted August 29 (edited) Honestly if they decide to "come back" with Flop Walls after 4 months of absolute silence after album release I will be super pissed and lose ALL hope they will turn things around. Like are they working with just 2 braincells this era or what? Edited August 29 by katara 2 1
