i have tickets for LA next year. considering getting rid of those as well if there's no revamp of the tour (FN tour will be enough for now i guess):rip:

 

i am all for reinventing yourself as an artist to push yourself but im really completely baffled by some her decisions to get rid of everyone and everything that previously worked well for her. 

 

not sure how much longer she can go on with deluding herself that relying on herself and her father is enough.

 

(also kind of wish she didn't tour this album and just focused on moving on to dl4 and that tour could have incorporated dl4, ro, and the rest of her catalog. i hope she's not dumb enough to think she can stretch RO like FN and wait to release another album by 2026/2027)

I think it's time to start bullying her again. Apparently it's the only way to make her do things right...

 

:clack:

The album is called RADICAL OPTIMISM and it's been 400 pages of you ******* whining, moaning and dooming about the state of her career. She's not gonna hire you as a manager, just enjoy the bops.

The 2 singles are still on her top 5 page.

So they are still getting good numbers

Houdini should've been sent to Pop Dance. It would've definitely gotten a nomination there. Wish it would've also gotten a ROTY nomination but it is a competitive year. 

 

But as for the album…it was never going to be nominated. There was no direction, the songs are all over the place and didn't fit a story or theme. So we shouldn't be too surprised tbh. 
 

Hopefully this inspires Dua to take her next album more seriously in terms of her artistic vision.

The new version of These Walls is cute but I still prefer the original (I'm just glad she has remembered that this album exists though). Hopefully this version does well in Francophone countries like Fever did.

The These Walls remix dubuted with around 20k partial streams. It's doing around 350-400k streams full day

I think she got too focused thinking narrowing the list of collaborators and sticking to them would bring her more credibility & seriousness, but the fact is she made an impersonal album without the bops.

Yeah Houdini may be excellent but that's about it. It's a collection of cute songs with a watered down tame impala touch. 

I hope she learns from this and regains her 2018-2020 ambition.

Look, we´ve all collectively spend this year venting about everything we hate about this era. I don´t think we need to waste any more energy on that. What I will say however, is that I hope that this becomes another ´´go girl give us nothing´´ moment and that it lights a fire under her ass. Dua is a control freak and she needs to learn to let some of that control go. For as much as she claimed that RO was her ´´riding the chaos and letting things just be´´ moment, it´s very clear that this is not applicable to her career at all. She really needs to show some humility and contact Ben again. If this is about money, that kind of stuff can always be negotiated.

This Album didn't age well unfortunately. Haven't played it in months.

Yeah, if she doesn't get a proper team around her, her career is potentially over (mainstream, I'm referring to).

 

The minute I heard RO, I knew this would happen. The magic isn't there.

 

I trust she will figure it out.

 

But if she doesn't by October 2025 I'll be selling my tour tix, have no desire to see live what I've seen so far.
