What would it take for it to rebound?

These Walls and Whatcha Doing could be hits but they would need a push and both Dua and her team don't seem to be interested in that this era

 

So no. Probably not. 

Everything about it was planned wrong. It seemed to rushed it's a nice Album. Her new team is awful. 

 

Dance the Night being the focus during the lead single was a choice. 

It went through the ground like a bowling ball

It's a straight up pop album. Same as FN. For some reason Future Nostalgia was chosen to smash. This album is a good follow up, it's another quality and basic pop album like Future Nostalgia but it hasn't gotten picked up yet.

There are quite a lot of songs on here that will make good singles. It was A CHOICE to say the least to pick the three most similar and generic sounding songs as singles when they could have picked a more diverse collection of songs.

Houdini and Training Season sound almost identical to me.

Time to hire a new manager

No

Not unless there is a smash on the deluxe, if they plan on releasing one.

These sound like radio hits to me, and they sound good for 2024. I am assuming they are taking a short break, because the three singles they chose tell their own little story, and then they will start pushing their more romantic collection of singles for the 2nd half of the era. This is what i'm assuming will happen if there is a budget for Miss Lipa.

"These Walls" gives me cute late summer going into fall chill breakup song that radio eats up.

 

"Whatcha Doing" is so basic and forgettable to me. If that song had been on FN, I don't think anyone would pay it much mind.

Watcha Doing is a grower and another one that actually sounds psychedelic TO ME unlike the singles.

These Walls is a smasha. But goddammit Watcha Doing is pretty sexy.

Nothing can be done now. No other song on the album can smash. Move on

Hopefully her label releases These Walls in either June or July and that is the final single. If I were her, I'd release an entirely new album next year.

I think the public has not had enough time to fully digest the fact that this album is incredible. This album is so in my lane so it was instant for me upon release but oh my god this album is incredible.

If she releases Whatcha Doin then YES! 

wait until january

FN was anything but basic, lbr...

 

Don't Start Now was huge and revived the disco-pop trend. Songs like Future Nostalgia, Physical, Love Again and Levitating were huge songs. Cool songs that can appeal to teens, and people in their twenties and thirties. The album was sonically than anything out there at that time and catapulted her career and celebrity in a way that no basic, pop album could ever do. 

 

A basic, pop album would do for Dua what Zara Larsson's albums have done, not much. 

 

There's nothing identical about Houdini and Training Season...two different sounds and tempos. Houdini sounds sick and Training Season sounds forgettable.

What do you mean rebound? It was released 3 weeks ago. It has 3 top 10 singles. It's almost at a billion streams. I'm genuinely confused why this needs to "rebound"??? The album is doing fine…

Zara's last album is one of my favorites of the year so far. 

Ariana's is on another level cuz it is a total mindf*ck. A complete mindf*ck. 
And on the topic of Houdini and Training oh my god eternal sunshine is so good.

Where ? In the US it has ZERO and it's chart trajectory is 2, 21 and 40 something. 

 

In the US it is tanking. 

queuing dance the night (london sessions)

 

Yes you just need a bit more of radical optimism 

Not without a deluxe, so no essentially. Just keep vacationing, fire dad, and come back strong with next album.

I fear it's already out of my rotations.
