It's also very Mabel and Becky Hill :P

I never heard the Normani leak so I've been able to listen to 'If It Ain't Me' with fresh ears and it really is the one from this new batch of songs, isn't it? :wub: the momentum of the production reminds me of 'Do You Wanna Come Over?' by Britney a little, just in a disco blender. Banger alert!

 

On the other hand, I'm very familiar with the superb Blessed Madonna remix of 'That Kind Of Woman' so this version is falling a bit flat in comparison.

 

JID on a Dua record :cheeseblock: I'm a fan of some of his material, quite Kendrick-esque, so I'm happy that his name is out there a bit more. However, the song is nothing to write home about really aw :( the inane repetition was a bit too 'Good In Bed' for my liking and the production was quite messy in places. Already shared my slightly underwhelmed thoughts about 'We're Good' in the single thread, I think that has more growing potential than this though.

 

Newies rank: If It Ain't Me > That Kind Of Woman > We're Good > Not My Problem

 

I think I might be able to talk myself into getting the Moonlight vinyl for If It Ain't Me, Fever and Un Dia. Maybe.

I am slightly disappointed with the new tracks. Or maybe with the whole Moonlight release in general. My biggest problem is that it just sounds like a bunch of random songs put together, to get some extra hits and sales. Future Nostalgic is such a cohesive and brilliant record, and this all seems very Rita Ora to me.

 

Who ironically enough has somehow managed to release a much better EP on the same day!

Funnily enough Rita hasn't actually done the re-issue / tacking tracks on tactic (yet)!

 

These tracks really do dilute the Future Nostalgia experience a bit for me, though Fever had already done that a bit, that one sounds just as out of place. If It Ain't Me and That Kind of Woman are both great songs regardless, We're Good is... okay? I think it's growing but it feels like such an odd single choice. Not My Problem is one of her worst ever songs :ph34r:

And we're forgetting that Dua literally did it herself in her first era by tacking on her DJ collabs and some leftovers!

Yeap, she invented the tacking songs on the album and make an album of 12 songs to 24 songs lol.

 

And the fact that she said it herself that this era will be lasting till/after 2022, I am sure there will be another edition coming!!!

Made a playlist of the following and it will be how I will be listening from now on-

1. Future Nostalgia

2. Don't Start Now

3. Cool

4. We're Good

5. Physical

6. Levitating

7. If It Ain't Me

8. Pretty Please

9. Hallucinate

10. Break My Heart

11. Fever

12. Love Again

13. That Kind of Woman

I'm unsure on this one at the moment. :unsure:

 

As others have said I think my biggest problem is that to me some of these tracks just don't fit with the sound of Future Nostalgia at all... :(

 

I really do like If It Ain't Me and That Kind of Woman though, and they do fit in nicely with the other tracks. :wub:

And the fact that she said it herself that this era will be lasting till/after 2022, I am sure there will be another edition coming!!!

Dua Lipa expansion packs :lol:

 

Dua acknowledges 'We're Good' didn't fit the vibe of the standard tracking list but does fit under the "future nostalgia" vision.

I wish they released "Love Again" or "Cool" as a single before doing the re-release. Whilst I like the songs from the re-release, they don't really fit in with the original album. Although I suppose they could still release singles from the original if they wanted to!

new update:

 

"The deluxe Moonlight Edition of Dua Lipa's much lauded Future Nostalgia album adds b-sides, collaborations and some token new recordings to its tracklisting and the resultant renewed interest means the near year-old release more than doubles its consumption week on week. A sale of 6,730 propels Future Nostalgia to No.4 and takes its lifetime sales to a pleasingly symmetrical 296,296. Dua's self-titled debut still leads the way in sales with a total of 707,015 to its name."

 

 

total for FN: 296,296

 

:cheeseblock:

Platinum certification incoming! :cheer: Hopefully "We're Good" will be a long lasting hit and help keep the album selling.
