Her practising French exit in Glastonbury clips but not performing it anywhere, she better perform all album tracks (barring AFL) on tour!

Well "French Exit" is probably the least interesting song to perform out of all RO tracks

End of an Era, Houdini, Training Season, These Walls & French Exit are my top 5 from this after a few months. Illusion grew on me massively too. I love Anything For Love I just wish it was longer:chick3:

Rise :party: 

 

 

 

 

I hope she adds to the setlist Dance The Night, End Of an Era & Watcha Doing + bring back Falling Forver :duca:

I feel like Dua herself is not very "US oriented"

 

If you compare, most of stars move to LA to live and work and explore the market but Dua just seems to be happy within Europe. Especially between UK, France and Spain.

 

Yeah, and RO just shows how settled she feels into the European sphere. Moving to LA seems like a weird step, but it works for most of the new artists, like Motomami from Rosalia only exists because she moved to LA

Tbh I feel like the biggest problem with RO (the album itself, not the rollout) is that Dua clearly wanted to make an album inspired by the complex theories and philosophical ideas she loves reading about + the genres of music she feels makes the most sense to present these ideas with, but at the same time she felt pressured to make a radio friendly album that the masses would be able to get into. And the result was an album that was dumbed down so much for GP appeal that the complex ideas and genres she claims to have been inspired by are barely noticeable on the album, so there's a huge disconnect by what she views the album as and what it actually is. The fact that the era hasn't been cohesive visually either doesn't help. The whole theme of this era is DISCONNECT.

 

If she's not going to follow the current trend of pop girls making confessional music (which imo I'm happy she isn't), she needs to either make an album full of bops (a la FN) or go all in on making an experimental album that doesn't consider whether the GP will like it. RO feels like an attempt to do both and it didn't really work.

The whole album has different directions going on and the same time. This analysis in Spanish dives a little more with it, and basically says that maybe Dua had her own vision, Warner stepped in to try to make the album sound more 'safe', but at the same time it sabotaged the album because it lost its distinctive imprint

Boz said there was no drama in the album, dua made the album she wanted to make, warner did not interfered

That's on them and speaks volumes on their faves and how they view them. Dua is legimately so harmless. And for the love of god y'all need to stop with the dramatics. This era is not a flop by any means. Especially when it's outstreamed Brat which ya deem a hit. Enough. Our girl is haply and healthy let's celebrate that.

I had to fight to get tickets for the Dallas show. My gosh that was the worst experience I've ever had getting tickets. 

Posted

I wasn't big on the latest album but I kinda really wanna experience the FN singles and Houdini live so I might buy a ticket later today to support miss Dula (if there will be any left) :clap3:
