Relampago.

After the hype of Future Nostalgia, it failed to crack more than 16m streams. How can Dua recover? What direction should she try for her next album? What can be done?
sweetblindness Posted May 4 Posted May 4 (edited) The album is cute but it's a bit of a letdown after such a long wait (and Dua's statements before release ). She needs to release the deluxe ASAP, then do a few one-off singles throughout the rest of the year, and ideally come back with a new album next summer (or 2026 at the latest), one that commits fully to either the experimental direction this album was allegedly going for OR the pop perfection of FN (maybe go back to those producers too, idk). Her new management is also fumbling hard. The six month leadup to this album was NOT IT. It worked for FN but the music industry was in a much different place then. This should've had a much quicker rollout. Edited May 4 by sweetblindness 2
Heldenzeit Posted May 4 Posted May 4 What a bummer for her. Personally I've been having a lot of fun with the album over the day. Can't wait to have it be the soundtrack to my summer. 1 1
playwithme Posted May 4 Posted May 4 This might become the new golden standard for a flop album. Witness debuted at #1 with 180,000 units. Will this even crack 50,000 units? 1

Frozen99 Posted May 4 Posted May 4 i agree, either commit to the psychedelia experimentation or stick with pop, this seems so half-baked. 2 1

Sawk Posted May 4 Posted May 4 She kinda fumbled the bag lowkey. I was expecting a Massive Attack, Mezzanine serve but that vibe was nowhere to be found She's a liar, your honor. 5 1

Bimbo Posted May 4 Posted May 4 It's sad but that's what she gets for being dumb and changing managers 1
greeneyedsoul Posted May 4 Posted May 4 Numbers won't be out for at least 3 more hours. So what is this? 1
Delirious Posted May 4 Posted May 4 not the best track on the album getting the least number of streams i- 2
playboi Posted May 4 Posted May 4 it's what she deserves for not releasing french exit and happy for you as singles
