It's giving promo single

That's my guess as well. I don't think it makes sense to push a third single until album release. 

Based on description, it isn't produced by Kevin. Only contenders left are These Walls, Anything for love and Falling Forever…..

Training Season wouldn't stand out on FN at all...the chorus literally sounds like Break My Heart. Houdini does sound a bit different though. 

I personally dont want promo single if there will be proper single on May 3rd

According to PMB insider…

New song coming on the 11th.....It is the closest thing to FN, so far. Super super Pop. Its getting harder and harder to see this project as being a real departure from her previous sound.

Well……..

Her label / team didn't expect how Houdini and Training Season performed the way they did, so now

they're hoping new single on April 11 will do better.

 

The new single is produced by the same team but is the most reminiscent to the uptempo dance pop sound of Future Nostalgia. 

source?

But if these walls could talk

They'd say, "Enough"

They'd say, "Give up"

 

 

If these walls could talk

They'd say, "You know you're f*****"

It's not supposed to hurt this much

 

 

 

 

Ooh, if these walls could talk

They'd tell us to break up

They'd tell us to break up

 

 

These walls are telling you to fire Dukagjin, Dua. Listen to them!

Haters will have a field day since they have been vomiting this argument since Houdini launched. 
 

TBH I'm totally in for more FN sounding songs, it's what she does best.

I was looking forward for Blood records variant cause I love what they do sometimes but zoetrope vinyls are not my thing, even they seems to be popular lately

 

5000 copies sold out in 20 minutes, I wonder what will be first week sale ;)

I think some people have potentially read too heavily into what Dua has said the album is influenced by and assumed it meant she was going for a complete sonic departure from her previous work.The early descriptions from both Variety and Rolling Stone have been "a hard-nosed pop record", "confident dance pop" and "this album is straightforward pop bliss, not unlike her approach to Future Nostalgia". That doesn't mean the elements of Psychedelia, Trip hop and Britpop aren't going to be apparent but she's more likely blending those styles with the more mainstream/commercial pop style she is known for.

I saw an entire thread of ATRLers praising Ava Max for doing a backbend on her cover and praising her 70th sample and mass downvoting anyone who disagreed  

 

I'm not taking anyone's opinions on here seriously, as long as the song is good, I'm okay with it sounding like FN. Although we were told this with TS and there's no way it would fit with the noisy and reckless production, FN was pristine and glitzy… And that's not shade to TS, but both Houdini and TS have both been way more gritty than anything on FN, even if they're all electropop/dance pop songs. 

11 songs make it a pretty short Album around 30-40 minutes probably. Hoped for way more songs tbh. But as long as the singles are as good as Houdini and TS it'll be fine.

The only people blindsided by how psychedelic RO is actually turning out to be, are the ones who thought FN was suuuuper disco ddd

**** minimalism why isn't dua making videos like i luv it  

Its pretty obvious from Day 1 that this was going to be another dance pop album, I think she just got shaken by criticism that all her music sounds the same so she started scrambling and making up some BS about "psychedelic" and "britpop" and other such nonsense when this is basically going to be another dance pop album like FN which is FINE. FN was a good album, it makes sense that she wouldn't want to deviate too much from that formula just yet, in fact if the next single is more FN-sounding, I'm looking forward to it. 

I'm actually glad she's one of the few pop girls that is sticking to giving us dance pop while others are moving on to other things.

Future Nostalgia had 11 songs and run time of 37 minutes, I truly hope we get more songs over 4 minutes this time

Its one LP so 40 minutes please

That song is also like ear cancer so thank god. Dua videos are good. Idk why ya are expecting kpop budgets for these girls

 

That Blood Records vinyl sold out in like 20 minutes, there were only 5,000 copies 

idk if it counts for the UK charts but it's a good sign, also the signed version on her website is sold out 

 

 

Both Houdini and TS are good, but why not promote? It seems like she only cares about being in the top 20-30 for months instead of fighting for the top positions.
