Dua Lipa - Radical Optimism (May 3, 2024) • Page 11

Also reminds me…I totally forgot Sia has a new album out tomorrow

 

Diving in now. Dua Lipa is the best mainstream pop artist imo and it’s not particularly close either.

 

She just doesn’t miss. This is so damn good

 

Yikes (I have not listened to the album yet)

 

I haven’t read a pitchfork review in awhile, but skimmed this one. Do they usually insult other artists in their reviews as a way to get their point across?

 

Dunno why anyone cares what GQ thinks.

 

Somehow missed that Kevin Parker worked on this, so that’s cool

 

Love this. Need the tour asap

 

These Walls is the one!

 

Happy For You is probably my favorite after my first listen

 

Pitchfork has stunk for a v long time. Probably stinks even more since they sold to GQ.

 

These Walls feels immediately timeless

 

“Whatcha Doing” is, so far, my favorite.

 

“Anything For Love” should have been longer than two minutes and twenty-one seconds.

 

This is extremely fun and solid. And thank the Lord above it is only 11 songs and under 40 minutes. Phew.

 

First listen was at the gym this morning

Hella good, stand out is whatcha doing for sure

 

This really does feel like a continuation of Tame Impala’s Slow Rush…def not a bad thing. Glad she made a cohesive album that has a solid aesthetic. This and FN have really established her as a album artist.

 

Maybe because I'm an old man but I also find it refreshing that she still maintains a private life which means that we can enjoy the music and not have an annoying stan base dissecting every single lyric and who it might be about.

 

turnstile doesn’t need help writing

 

Turnstile utilizing co-writers would be extremely lame

 

Y'all forget about that song off Time and Space where they worked with Diplo, huh

 

That’s not the same thing but I won’t derail this thread anymore

 

It was the first example that came to my mind, sorry for the bad joke

 

I was listening to a different album released today and now on a work call, but can't wait to listen, especially if "The Slow Rush Pt. 2" is even slightly true.

 

coffee hasn’t kicked in yet, my bad
