I would love for her (and just anybody in general tbh) to go more club oriented. We need quality dance music in the mainstream

Ever since experiencing the New Rules tour mix of the Radical Optimism tour, I also am thinking about this.

Additionally I just hope that if she gives us an other 11 track album that atleast 7 will be up-tempo or mid to up-tempo. As much as I love Dua. I think her discography needs a little more 'body".

90s/2000s Dance-Punk Revival, or Post-Britpop Revival. Electric guitars, loud bass and loud drums . Electroclash too.

(like LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture, Klaxons, The Strokes).

I would love for her to dab into British dance music (DnB, garage, 00s dubstep) - basically a 2020s version of Katy B's On a Mission. Or some trip hop a la KM94 or Ray of Light.

But I don't the GP is here for that and she kinda needs that next album to smash, so we can leave the experimentation for later.

I get the feeling Harry will go for that sound in KATT/DO, and Dua has a collab there, so...

idk I think Dua needs a rebrand sonically. She needs to go all out and switch like Madonna would do. She needs to try something noisier.

Yes I'm so excited to hear it. 90s/2000s are my favourite eras for both electronic and rock. I hope Dua does the same.

Work with new producers like max martin with whom she hasn't worked before

Something like Prisoner/Midnight Sky, dark disco/rock would suit her well

I want her to have her Ray Of Light (song and the album)

I think she should aim for a trip hop vibe a la late 90s/early 2000s Madonna, Dido, etc. Would be a return to the sound of her debut a little bit. Could throw in some breakbeat/trance elements for a few uptempo songs. Working with Danny Harle again, I think they could make something really special in that vein.

I'm hear for this. 90s Trip Hop but incorporate some psychedelic rock.

remember when ballad singer Sarah McLachlan completely snapped with this in 90s.

Last Dance 2.0 would obliterate I fear

she should also hit up Snakehips see what they come up with, even Mura Masa for a change. she needs the switch I fear.

Who's that in the image?

She should go boricua!

I think she's still excelling in the Dance/House/Pop lane and can't really hear her doing much outside of that wheelhouse. She's one of those acts that where it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Commit to a full disco diva and 90's powerhouse vocals over dance beats... she does it so well.
