ihavequestions Posted April 12 Posted April 12 I adore this new era. Music is top tier. Can't wait to dance to this masterpiece this summer, all sweaty, with a vodka tonic and without a care in the world chiiiii 2

The songs are always in the vein of "you aren't good enough for me", "I am looking for something deeper" etc. I am not a huge fan of empowerment, cause it's really superficial, but hey, that's a "me-thng". The only lyrical thing I don't like is the change-up from "it's amusing you think I'm gonna fall for an illusion?” to "I just wanna dance with the illusion" like…she's so confident with the former and then just…falls for it? 1
Scandalous Posted April 12 Posted April 12 this gives me Hallucinate…fun dance bop, catchy enough, but never gonna be my favorite personally 1

The song is about a guy who's selling her dreams but she knows and doesn't care because she also just wants to have a fun fling, she's just going to let him think he fooled her when that's not the case. 1

Yes people are allowed to have opinions. Mine is negative, yours is positive. Get over it. 1

SayIt Posted April 12 Posted April 12 I just have to say the instrumental is top notch on this track…the bells are so good. I have to give it up for Kevin and Danny
popstickle Posted April 12 Posted April 12 1 hour ago, Relampago. said: Because I talk about what I like about every song and what parts I'm enjoying the most, ranking them from fave to least fave, etc. People coming in here and repeating the same "it's not FN!” "she has no direction!” and parroting the same critiques they always do, is not the same as finding different things to praise about a song every time. In fact in my post, I pointed out that I have seen fair critiques from people who are actually thinking about what they're posting, even if it's not positive. But people, like you ironically enough, who just say "I'm DONE with the era! She can't do anything right this era!” literally every time she releases something, then for some reason stay perched, are just annoying when others are just trying to enjoy the damn music. My original post did exactly this though (said what I enjoyed, what parts worked/didn't work) and yet you're accusing people who critique her of being wholly negative when that's not true. Also, if you're going to put art out into the world, it's going to get critiqued. No thread on here is 100% positive. If people echo the same sentiment then surely that means there's something in their point. What they get from the music can't be denied by anyone else so if people think it sounds like FN, who are you to say they're wrong? Your experience of the music is going to be different to everyone else's experience of it. You point out that fans stay perched even if they don't like the previous single and suggest they're doing that to hate on Dua, but surely they could equally be waiting for a song they do like since they're a fan. Lana is my #1 artist but I don't like every single song she releases. It doesn't mean I'll abandon her the moment I don't like some songs though. Same with Dua, I want to enjoy the music but TS and Illusion just aren't vibing with me, does that mean I can't wait for the album and hope there's songs on it that I will like?
popstickle Posted April 12 Posted April 12 3 hours ago, RideOrDie said: maybe because illusion is the most 2000s house/europop of them all so the genre difference is throwing you off, houdini/ts are more 80s/90s so they are more funk leaning! Yeah, I just hear the Europop element and I have a love/hate relationship with that genre so that's probably not helping 1
ainadalkaz Posted April 12 Posted April 12 her best song since Physical. ms peep the HITMAKER you are

Yes, AND Posted April 12 Posted April 12 17 hours ago, rihannasbe$tfrnd said: Her "Illusion" can mean anything idk why some girlies are expecting some Katy Perry, on the nose, tacky & obvious video. The "Illusion" video is gorgeous and plays off the red and blue presented in the cover. It's just a rip off of two Kylie videos. Also Illusion is talking about a guy who wants to play her but because shes smart she wont fall for it. Theres no hidden meaning.

liquiddiamonds Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Dying that the video has more to do with Training Season than the video for that song LMAO 1
liquiddiamonds Posted April 12 Posted April 12 This is a certified mega bop. Even the Kevin haters are converted lol Catchiest single and the video tied up the visuals we got so far. Hopefully it deservedly becomes a big hit for her 1
