I like Tame Impala, even their most recent album, but yeah I'm not much into this. Tame Impala + Dua Lipa + Danny Harle should certainly be better. But who knows, I hear this enough times maybe it will grow. I do like the ending synth

that is a bizarre combo of writers/producers
song is underwhelming, not terrible but it's more 'ok album track' than 'comeback single'

so her new album probably won’t be the “British Lemonade” I’m guessing

Great production and the last minute is really cool, but the chorus just isn't strong enough. Hoping it'll grow on me like Dance The Night did.

The stuff 'dis hyped releases' threads were made for

Somehow I was expecting something completely different because she had mentioned that that the new album was going to be 70s psychedelia-inspired. I don't even know what that means but I can't hear any 70s or psychedelia in this track. Sounds more like it has elements from a very specific era circa the early 80s.
I do think it is excellent, though. Much better than Dance The Night.

Love the vocoder outro, wish it went on for another minute in that vein.

"Houdini" did grow on me a little but the new one is a more successful collaboration between the same artists. Still not wowed but a good song

both of the new tracks aren't awful but they're so.... rote

plods the same way as tame impala's poor forays into disco, letting him be a pop producer was a mistake

"A couple years ago, a friend introduced me to the term Radical Optimism. It’s a concept that resonated with me, and I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life," Lipa says in the announcement. "It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm. At the same time, I found myself looking through the music history of psychedelia, trip hop, and Britpop. It has always felt so confidently optimistic to me, and that honesty and attitude is a feeling I took into my recording sessions."

radical optimism - like the hope Dua Lipa stans have that the album will still be good after the two singles that have come out??? *ba-dum-psssh*

I'm still holding out hope *wipes tears*

Damn, that is such a Dua Lipa Podcast Host album title.

It's kinda quiet in her ...has no one listened to the album yet?
Or do people no longer care about Dua Lipa? :(
― daavid, Tuesday, 30 April 2024 17:40 (two days ago) link
I don't think it's out yet
― Never fight uphill 'o me, boys! (President Keyes), Tuesday, 30 April 2024 17:46 (two days ago) link
I mean I definitely don't care enough about Dua Lipa to seek out leaked files
― Never fight uphill 'o me, boys! (President Keyes), Tuesday, 30 April 2024 17:47 (two days ago) link
Me neither.
I just assumed some people here got early access to releases.
