Dua Lipa — Illusion + Radical Optimism

[Pipo]

Does this mean they already ditched the Kevin Parker song

Is it a Perfect Illusion sequel?

 

[Pipo]

It's


HOUDINI

 

[Pipo]

 

[OutSynk]

Sexual

 

[Lucille]

Omg maybe the album is all covers from “The Dreaming”.

 

[Jark]

here we go girls. the new lewk is not iconic a la Don't Start Now and I don't love the image chosen but I like the 90s aesthetic.

 

[Suedehead]

Love this. Jawline for the gods mama.

 

[octophone]

99p CD single and a cassette, is it?

 

[Jark]

THREE DAYS! longer clip here. that Tame Impala production is sounding deluxe.

 

[Funky]

Oh I’m liking that.

 

[Pipo]

Is this her equivalent of Feast On Scraps because that sounds so Future Nostalgia coded nnnnn

 

[KindaCool]

That sounds quite...Kylie? Which makes it 10/10 BY DEFAULT

 

[Soldi]

 

[Jark]

Dula playing the song for an older man outside the BBC on wired earphones while somebody wields a CONGRATULATIONS banner is /

 

[Kratz]

Oh that’s quite funny - maybe she is a character after all

 

[Pipo]

I'm all for Dua's CAMP era.

 

[Kratz]

That clip is all sorts of

Kudos to this woman for realising she is a POP STAR

 

[Jark]

this has leaked and I have listened

 

[OutSynk]

Good to know!

 

[POP!]

And?

 

[Kratz]

Come on then Victoria Newton - tell us what it’s like

 

[RJN]

My dm’s are open

 

[Christian]

There's no way this is not going to be a world class pop spectacular.

 

[Funky]

The Robotboy energy of this post is quite something

 

[Jark]

OK well I didn't say anything more because I don't wanna be hysterical and reactive but

it's very well produced. it's kind of like a Tame Impala remix of Break My Heart musically. the chorus/hook... feels like a verse. it's lightweight. not a big pop song like the Future Nostalgia singles. probably a huge grower, I won't listen again til Fri

This is a disaster

I think I discovered my new worst nightmare: Having to listen to a song for the first time in front of the artist

[ZenGiraffe]

 

[Jark]

I come and I go

 

[OutSynk]

I'm enjoying the crunchy production.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

The vocoder at the end was the only good part.

 

[VoR]

 

[POP!]

The last minute is fab, the rest is mid. for now.

 

[POP!]

I'm hoping she can get a #1 debut out of this, though, the fact that she doesn't have one in the US is absurd.

 

[Sheena]

I like that.

The video is very Hung Up, isn’t it? Both in the setting and the “funky crowd” shots.

 

[dixielandings]

I think this is great! Different enough from her previous big hits but still pop, surely has a good shot at no 1 this week

 

[Dark Carnival]

for a casual fan, that’s good enough.
