The chorus was an instant hit for me. Imma need more time with the verses and pre-chorus but overall it's a bop. I just wish the production didn't mellow down when the first chorus ended. That second verse needed a punchier instrumental. But yeah, that chorus is stuck in my head. I'll be listening again for sure!

Oh she ATE. The falsetto pre chorus thing may be hard for sing along purposes, but that chorus is massaging my ear drums @Sexyzinger :jonnycat:

 

where was this filmed? Stunning with no heavy CGI needed!

Impacting US Radios immediately. :coffee: Perhaps that top TTH spot on lock too.

These producers really did her dirty, could barely finish the song. I knew from the moment I heard tame impala was the main producer, this era would be flop, such a shame, FN is an incredible album.

Dua we are so back. :jonny5: Should've been the lead, it's that perfect blend of Future Nostalgia and Kevin Parker. The extended "oOoOoOo-usion" at the end of the chorus is ORGASMIC. :jonny2:

 

I kinda get why they were keeping this in their back pocket as the "surefire smash" but damn. Even the music video feels like the first true real representation of the visuals the album photoshoot was depicting.

 

What a smash, I can't get over it. :jonny3:

STAN *****. My ear drums are being smoothly massaged with the finest essential oils. Completely agree on everything you posted! The visuals are giving classic, cohesive, stunning, gorgeous, iconic, visual representation of the song. I'm absolutely gagged! Houdini and Training Season found six feet facedown on the side of a ditch in a cornfield in Nebraska. :jonnycat:

The video is fantastic, very Britney / Kylie. I was more into Houdini and training Session at first but I'm sure the song will grow on me

MUSIC VIDEO IS HOT. 
Serves bisexuality.

Will have more fun with it later.

Now maybe i should not give my analysis but the video is about a girl who has been with all these hot gays and then she starts having sex with women, and then essentially even when she goes back to having sex with those hot gays, she still fantasizes about women.

WAIT 

OK NO

IT'S ABOUT A LESBIAN WHO HANGS OUT WITH THE GAYS AND THEN SOMETIMES VENTURES OFF TO HOOK UP WITH GIRLS.

That is the storyline i got. Maybe i'm wrong. 
NO

She just sometimes is with guys and sometimes with girls in the video. And that kinda prompted an interesting thought in my head, she hired all these hot guys and has me thinking of my fantasy and then she adds girls into the fantasy because it's a bi-sexual orgy.

The bridge music breakdown is so fantastic. Reminds me of "Problematique" outro :jonny5:

This album is going to be at the level of Future Nostalgia in terms of quality mefears.

I honestly don't remember who I told over DM about this, but the final track is technically a remix/re-edit/reproduction of a now-scrapped version. There should be an "additional production by" credit of somebody who was all over the Barbie album.

I actually don't know, but I think it is Ricky Reed.

 

He produced this:

 

 

and did a bunch of little things on other tracks.

No, but when Houdini didn't do the numbers they wanted, they brought in Brandon Davis to advise, who oversaw the Barbie soundtrack. He is the VP and pop music A&R at Atlantic Records and, for those that care, is Ava Max's A&R in the US and one of the people that signed her at APG before her Atlantic deal.

Like yeah, Dua Lipa is giving romantic fantasies with this era. 
It's not about sex at all TO ME. It's all about romance. But romance the way Dua Lipa writes about it is so f***ing hot. Oh my god.
