Recommended Posts

If radio programmers are tacking to early playlisting on These Walls … you all know you can downvote me how much you want but Dad Lipa is so going to be pushing that for the Fall :eli:

These Walls is a great song and has the potential to smash but I thought Love Again would smash too so I don't know

are we sure she's pushing These Walls as the next single world wide or just in France?

This was my most played album this month :deadbanana4: It really HITS by the beach :jonny5:

 

How do you release a vacanza album and then don't even bother to promote it/release a new single/videos during the summer outside of those quick lil shows that had more pre-RO songs. :toofunny2: Like if you are gonna spend the entire summer spamming us with Vacanza Queen photo dumps, then you could have played into it from the start and capitalized on the memes instead of the whole ~dark~ aesthetic from November-February. The branding is really the most frustrating part about this campaign and it will forever bug me. 

 

Her daddy needs to steal the Vertigo theories for the reissue and she'll send Sabrina back to the khia club.

Honestly, there's no need to promote this misstep in her career any further. Let's move on to DL4 already :michael:

It's literally thee tour for the album. Yall are doing the absolute most. Me suggesting that she adds 2 more songs from the same said album shouldn't be causing this much of a commotion

Girl I was at her recent concert in Croatia and the album tracks Happy For You and These Walls were mood killers. People were like wtf are those.

 

People go to concerts to listen to songs they recognize and not some dull flops no one knows.

You speak for everyone? Sounds like a Croatia problem. The whole point of performing them is to promote them. Happy For You is a gorgeous song. And tours are meant to showcase the album that they're promoting like what's not clicking lol

Exactly. They seem to be hellbent to repeat every step of FN though but I wish them an ounce of luck trying to resurrect RO and keep it going for 2 years though :lmao:

 

The only way to keep this era going is tack new smashes/collabs to it.

An insider said that she has another Calvin collab whether that drops or not remains to be seen but I say drop a new single with the deluxe and come back in 2026 and give us dj droplets to hold us over

Well that was bound to happen, unlike the popular gp belief RO is nothing like FN, most of the album tracks were mid tempo tracks. Idk what she was thinking while making this album and actually performing it alongside FN, their vibes do not match at all…

Idk if These Walls on the radio in France is indicative of anything, I'm pretty sure I heard Happy For You while I was staying in Germany this summer so there's also that (not 100% sure it was the radio since I was at an hotel and it could've been some Spotify playlist, but dunno)

Tell them to drop this bop cuz it has been stuck in my head since 2022. One of only 2 good songs Danny L Harle produced for Dua honestly (alongside Happy For You) :clap3:

@BlackoutZone Bestie, any tea if YSL is planning on releasing this cover on CD / Vinyl in the future, like they did with Dua's cover of I'm Free? :allears:
I would purchase in an instant :jonny5:

She does not need to move onto DL4. "These Walls" is a safe single choice, but it'll buy her time. The album still has other options that could benefit from a remix more than "These Walls" would. 
 

With a better re-issue than FN had I think this rollout can be saved, especially with the earlier "Super Nature" sessions. I think she's just planning her next steps carefully.

She should release a new mix of These Walls, just rerecord some new adlips for the last chorus with a slightly elevated production and push it as a single should be pushed. Decent playlisting and radio play from payola and some interviews, then when it's picking up perform it on some night shows. Also please a good video on a colorful set.

I really hope that after she comes back from holiday she breathes new life into the era. She can easily push 2 more singles, release some collabs and put out a deluxe next year. And we need more standalone performances.
