CroNich Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Why do I feel like this is either going to be a WW #1 smash hit or a complete bomb
P!nk Posted April 11 Posted April 11 8 hours ago, Burqa said: yes and? still crazy that a 3rd single got a bigger budget than singles 1 and 2 combined I think it's smart. It's the single that's going to be out when the album drops, so having that big final promo push for the release of the album makes sense to me.
abelfenty Posted April 11 Posted April 11 I can't get enough of the teaser and the visual looks amazing It screams song of the summer

KatyPrismSpirit Posted April 11 Posted April 11 judging the music video teaser, this will probably be a massive improvement over Houdini and Training Season. this might really help the song smash. 1
MaxMartin Posted April 11 Posted April 11 this finally looks like a proper video , no wonder CANADA is behind this.

The song as second single really affect the momentum of whole era. Illusion would've been a perfect follow-up to Houdini! Yeah in all honesty I agree… we should have had a promo single in place instead and moved TS to something post album…
Wonderland Posted April 11 Posted April 11 (edited) Tbh I think her success from last era made them a bit too complacent with the rollout this time around. I think they thought they could put less effort into the first few singles as they'd be carried by hype and then push this as the big single in time for the album release. However now we're in this awkward situation where the first two singles have underperformed and halted her momentum. I hope she can bring it back with this single but I fear the damage may already be done. If it's as good as everyone says it is, they better be ready to promote and playlist the hell out of it to make it a smash. Edited April 11 by Wonderland

To me it feels like this rollout was always supposed to be more careless and chill, to convey a sense of "coolness" and nonchalance. It's very in line with what Dua has said about this era in that Rolling Stone interview for example, how it's kind of supposed to be the exact opposite of FN. FN = maximalism RO = minimalism like, this era is very consistent in that aspect

Asparagus Spears Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Hope this is a smash right out the gate so people stop saying this era is a flop

Through happenstance (ie Gaza) and cock up ( imho the lack or performances/ bad release timing etc), the rollout has not been great, especially when compared to FN. I wonder too, how much management (not just solely her dad here) bandwidth has been taken up by her buying her music publishing and masters etc out from TAP/other stakeholders, and getting them housed in a "bespoke deal" with Warner. I have no doubt that would've involved a lot of meetings with lawyers and accountants and a lot of toing and froing. These things can be hugely time and emotion consuming, and leave limited space for other stuff. All that said, the visuals we've got from the video and the general positive vibe around Illusion online, do feel a bit more upbeat than recent months ( though Houdini keeps chugging along like a musical diesel engine, all low revs but goes forever), so fingers crossed. Do we know if this is a "real" single going to radio etc or a promo buzz thing? Edited April 11 by Vermouth 1
