Not to compare Dua with anyone else but seeing how Ariana turned her era to something amazing, I am longing to happen the same to Dua!!!

I don't know if it has to do with the management (dad-ager needs to do better or otherwise axe him) but also so far the weakest spot of this era have been the music videos for me...I am sure the budget is there!!!

Anyways, just to clarify I am not saying she's doing bad (far from that) but something it feels like she's not fully connecting with majority like she did with FN singles!!!

(disclaimer, again I am so happy with Houdini longevity and it proved to be a real Dua hit).

Yeah, I have to say the music videos have been a bit of a letdown this era so far - especially when you compare to the ones we got for 'Physical' and 'Break My Heart'!

She's teasing the album cover through WhatsApp and her website seems to confirm that the title is going to be Vertigo.

Ordered a bundle! I think I prefer 'Future Nostalgia' as a title but 'Radical Optimist' is decent.

Love the title, not sure about the cover art but it doesn't really matter and great that there are no (pointless) features on the album. Not on the standard edition at least, sure there'll be deluxes later.

I'm so hypnotized by the cover! So fitting for the album title. She's chilling there with a shark like WTF

I like the idea of the lenticular CD cover so might get that! Houdini and Training Season are such a bold start to this era and I was bowled over by the last album so I have high hopes for this one

Not what I was expecting artwork wise but it does catch your eye.

I’m definitely intrigued at the whole album sound but here for a new era. One thing we know about Dua is that she puts in the work and sustains proper album campaigns. I’ll have a order at some point these days I try and wait as long as possible or get one after the release just incase another artwork what’s preferable pops up laugh.gif

I do like that there’s no features too. (I kind of hope it stays that way as the re release of Future Nostalgia felt very much just for streaming purposes and didn’t feel connected to the original albums theme)

Dua and her label will consider this album a success only if it does amazingly well in the USA. Given the underwhelming performance of her 2 singles on the BB100, can this album hit top 3 on the bb200?

I forgot what position FN debuted but I think Top 5 for this is considerably a success!!!

I would like to know actually who else is releasing on same date!!!

Hopefully this will manage to get sales (metric) of 50k-60k debut in US and I am expecting Taylor will be #1 in US on her 4th-5th week with 200k+ laugh.gif

I was expecting something completely different aesthetically but I love the title!
I fully expect a deluxe, 11 tracks isn’t enough!
