artists using insane reference points is nothing new though so I'm not sure why it's been so picked up on here. nobody who heard the singles seriously thought Dula was gonna serve us trip hop.
honestly it's amusin'. she thought we were gonna fall for an illusion.![]()
yes but awarding this album 3/10 is deeply unserious and surely invites a backlash.A friend of mine has done the review for Line Of Best Fit and the comments section is/was an absolute fucking binfire.
Can someone tell Mr Impala that "absolute weapon" is not a positive in Scotland?![]()
I do love Genesis. a forgotten bop.At least End Of An Era beats Future Nostalgia (song) as an album opener but she will never top GENESIS![]()
in a way I think Houdini out in spring with the album two weeks later might've worked better for this project.The singles for this just never truly connected, did they? In addition, it almost feels like "Dance The Night" was so ubiquitous and perfected the "disco-lite" that radio and the masses lapped up that it became a bit of a poisoned chalice for this album campaign. She really hit a home run with it, catering to her audience perfectly - then she tried to deviate from the proven concept but not drastically enough to avoid comparisons. Having said that, I'd personally take Houdini and Training Season over Dance The Night, Levitating and Love Again but the latter three all really crushed it for her.
She probably would have benefitted from pushing this whole project into 2024 rather than starting at the tail end of 2023 when radio was still hammering Dance The Night.
Agreed, for some reason people seem to think Houdini wasn’t a hit - it absolutely was. It was a great launchpad to just go straight into the album.in a way I think Houdini out in spring with the album two weeks later might've worked better for this project.

NME called the album “frustratingly passive” (accurate) and her fans are losing their shit in the comments
People really need to chill the fuck out
