Dua Lipa — Radical Optimism (1 Viewer)

second single Training Season out next thursday.

apparently it was the original first single and the Greek zaddy she just finished with before Christmas had directly the original video, which had a war theme and was canned when the Gaza war began. a new video has since been shot. having a ~controversial video PULLED is a classic popstar rite of passage :disco:

The dance break, and really the whole thing, was next level for her. Hopefully it revives "Houdini" (it's out of the top 100 on US Spotify I think)
 
That bit with the cube was seriously impressive!

Has she always had those kind of performances in her? Can’t say I’ve ever been interested before.
 
Let's see how it impacts

Please calm down :Icesiseyes:

But yeah that performance was a sleigh.
 
I smell an obsession with the aesthetics of this new album campaign, every look has been a SERVE and it basically consists of a collection of nice LOUNGE WEAR and GYM CLOTHES.
 
there's been a lot of speculation about the album date, which hasn't been announced yet. the schedule into march and april:

Mar 8 - Ariana - eternal sunshine
Mar 15 - Kacey Musgraves - Deeper Well
Mar 22 - ? (rumoured date for Shakira)
Mar 29 - Beyoncé - act ii
Apr 19 - Taylor - Tortured Poets

so a couple of weeks free in April before Taylor, otherwise a very packed schedule and they'll be wanting that US #1 debut
 
Oh I thought it had been released to ZERO public interest already :D This is because, for the past two weeks, all my fitness Instagram people have been uploading stories (at the gym or running and such) with THIS as the background song. Does this mean it was released on Instagram first? Queen of socialS!
 
They'll need enough pre-order time to shift the inevitable 19 colours of vinyl too.

I don't think a US #1 is a given even in a non-busy week so I question whether that's the motivating factor. Even at its peak, Future Nostalgia never sold that much in any given week (#3 peak). It just hung around for an age since "Don't Start Now" and '"Levitating" were such streaming forces.

It's more than likely her team waiting on a single that sticks before confirming a date. There was no momentum for "Houdini" after its first week, if that, unfortunately. It might also help her stats if they tack on "Dance The Night Away" as a bonus track.
