Hex Posted May 4 Posted May 4 Idk really what they're insinuating but the music hasn't changed much since FN and I think people are just not excited about it anymore. See what's happening with Ava? What happened with Katy? When you keep serving the same thing you lose appeal eventually. And don't even start with "this album is nothing like FN"… it's just FN with some fun sucked out and the vaguest of vague "experimental" tidbit for a cumulative 3 minutes across the whole album 12
Popular Post kalli Posted May 4 Popular Post Posted May 4 blaming it on a conspiracy theory is fun tbh, i don't care how fake it sounds, i believe it. my girl dua is under attack 1 23
Kristie Kuwa Posted May 4 Posted May 4 I also think its fishy. Maybe no more autoplay, no media push. Sth is off 1

ericcartman Posted May 4 Posted May 4 One of the biggest eras in pop music history? As in top 500 eras? 2
Maleficent Posted May 4 Posted May 4 I don't know if I believe in "sabotage" or w/e, but I do find it kind of strange how as a casual follower I've heard almost nothing about Dua (music or otherwise) since this era started. She was kind of inescapable during FN. It may just be a case of less coverage because the music hasn't stuck or something idk. 4

Well, yes, her fans claimed that she revolutionised the music industry, with her back-to-back hits, and was the only pop girl in history to make it big since Ariana Grande. 1

This is FAR from a Witness situation I mean at least Witness was iconic and will go down in history. I'm scared from what we've seen so far that this might make very little noise at all which is worse
Peak Now Posted May 4 Posted May 4 (edited) Look the hype was definitely there, Houdini was her best debut ever by a wide margin (on Spotify Global, 5.4M (#2) versus DSN's 3.4M (#8)). I also think she dropped too many singles-- before FN came along there was only DSN and Physical (which tanked in the US (ROBBED!!!!!)). And even disregarding that, she still fumbled the bag by not dropping Training Season the Friday before the Grammys when she would perform it to widespread acclaim (I still don't get what happened there-- that date was rumoured on here??? and IIRC no serious competitors dropped that week?????) Honestly given the material she could've just dropped the album the week that Training Season actually dropped (Feb 16 maybe?). Her team needs to realize these days the GP has the attention span of a goldfish and a single middling single choice can jeapardize your album rollout. Cf. Eternal Sunshine before WCBF delivered. I guess the music just didn't click as well as FN. Edited May 4 by AndThenTheCocaine 1

Relampago. Posted May 4 Posted May 4 The album is for people who aren't miserable and the entire world is miserable rn, as this thread and many others in the past 24 hours would indicate 2
geodude Posted May 4 Posted May 4 It's simple. FN was a fluke. She released it during the pandemic lockdowns and it was fun and dancey while everyone was cooped up inside. Trying to come up with anything other than that is weird since the music is not that different. 4
