Is her lower leg AI'd? Why doesn't she have a foot

 

Foot looks like a noodle 

 

OT: the snippet was good but song just falls flat, who is writing these awful lyrics

This is sickening sister 

I definitely like this but as always (with me) Dua's tracks have to grow on me then I'm obsessed.  I think she surely has to be doing an extended mixes album. Another remix album won't surprise me either. 

song of the summer is here.

3 mid songs in a row

A whole another bop! 

That 2006'd bedazzled belt is killing me, why did her stylist do that to her? Looking like one of those Saudi Arabia covers that someone photoshopped on for modesty

It's not the official cover

I guess I just don't like dance music  FN was a fluke for me

Up 6 spots on the Global Artist Chart 

I already can't get this out of my head  but an evolution from Future Nostalgia this is not, so I don't know how this is going to go down with the GP, but I also think it could end up being the song of summer, I really can't tell

The song was co-written by the 2023 Grammy's Songwriter of the Year Tobias Jesso Jr. 

This sort of sounds like Zara / H&M background music… but the biggest disappointment is how Danny and Tame produced something so bland.  Imagine producing Caroline Polachek's Desire and then putting this out.

 

Also just so y'all know, I love Dua and hope she smashes with anything.  This one just isn't for me.

why isn't the extended instrumental on spotify

she also needs to drop both instrumentals for houdini ASAP

This is a great bop and I'll definitely be playing on repeat, but I kinda think it was a poor choice for a third pre-release song - it feels very similar sonically/thematically to Houdini and Training Season so I was hoping she would use this opportunity to show a different side to the album and maybe more of the psychedelia she's been talking about...

Oh and I LOVE the video, Houdini's video grew massively but Training Season is still a bit of a miss for me so she's 2/3 

She saw how TKOW (Jacques Lu Cont Remix) is my favorite Duallah song and said "here, my little homossexual, another sunny Ibiza'd bop just for you!"

Endless Year Round Vacation

It's not bad but easily the worst of the three songs released so far.

I literally can't stop playing this, I'm looping it all day at work… Currently at my 70th play

This era is clearly not meant to chase hits and #1s and that's okay. She's just having fun with music and enjoying herself. She needed to slow down this era and I'm sure she's gonna come back even stronger. Maybe she can aim for a new album and world tour in 2025. 

Tbh I was optimistic with the snippet but the rest of the song is just okay. I don't see this doing any better than Houdini. Dua will stay getting those global hits and she'll always be a household name in Europe but I'm just a little concerned for her here in the US. It's really hard to crossover for foreign acts and the US GP is really fickle. Idk how this era will pan out for her here but hopefully it works itself out and I'm sure the gays will carry her to a nice debut week

Something about those "mmm"s in the song...

Bland is a bit harsh but yeah. I think this is one of this era's biggest issues so far. Clearly, the idea was to pair up two alternative creators with a mainstream superstar and merge the two worlds into a record that is equal parts artistically daring and commercially serviceable. But it feels like Danny and Kevin kind of got absorbed into Dua's sound and status instead of meeting halfway so we ended up getting Future Nostalgia with a #psychedlic twist. Houdini is the one of the 3 that came closer to striking a balance and that's why it's the best

 

Anyway all 3 songs are solid. 'dini > illu-u-u-u-u-u-uuu > uk raving season

It's a hit! 
 

did anyone else notice her doing the same choreography in the video that she does all the time? It's getting so tired. fire the choreographer!
