I like it but it's not single-material.

Agreed. Hotter Than Hell and Blow Your Mind are in a different league.

"Room For 2" (Music Video / Premiered by Hunger TV)

 

That's way more interesting than anything else she's put out (none of which I've particularly liked)

Rumours from German music stores that this could be delayed until May 31st, we shall wait and see! :(

Not surprised in the slightest. Hopefully they don't actually have 'Be The One' as a re-release and release something new instead.

Good, I don't like her really

I don't think that's true luckily, I mean it may be for Germany but Dua tweeted yesterday that if anything changes you'll "hear it from her" and she hasn't tweeted anything about a delay so I think it should be fine. Be The One is cutting it a bit fine to take back off though :lol: Blow Your Mind didn't do that badly, and Hotter Than Hell did really well, but I suppose in this climate you never know how a song will do so it's really hard for new artists to gauge when to release an album.

 

Be The One's re-release isn't really the best choice of single (as much as it is still her best song) though so it'd be good to go for something else but this is getting ridiculous now. The album is never really going to set the world alight so I don't see the point in holding it back for even longer. If she was to release something else and delay it that would be 6 singles before release :lol:

Well nobody is making you listen to her album :lol:

I hope they don't screw up this release but TBH I can't see it doing that well unless she pulls another hit out of the bag? HTH and BYM both went silver but neither feel as though they were big enough to sell the album to the general public and the song with Sean Paul missed the Top 40 :nocheer:

 

She should have released off the back of HTH and then plugged away at promo and getting another hit to support the album - as per above the campaign is over before it's even started with 6 releases.

In all fairness it's a bit too soon to rule out No Lie anyway as things are just starting for it! Be the One hasn't been playlisted by Radio 1 or Capital yet so there's still some time. Pushing the album back to May would be a terrible decision, just chuck it out in Feb as planned, it wouldn't do any better in May?

It's like Stooshe - scored a hit and the album got multiple delays and by the time it was released it had leaked/people had got bored of waiting and the hit was almost forgotten.

 

And if it's released in May it will be a year since HTH was released and 8 months since BYM!

 

 

I feel like they've spent a year trying to make her happen and no one really cares? 'Hotter Than Hell' was a minor hit at best, but I just feel it's not gonna happen no matter what they try.

I'd say top 15 is a pretty decent-sized hit in 2016! I'd agree in general though, they're trying to create buzz around her and it's not really happening.

HTH and BYM were both decent sized hits for a new artist - both seeking 200,000+ and going silver but neither feels like a memorable hit and have been quickly forgotten. The record company know they need a huge smash to get enough interest in the album to get the return on investment they need.

She's my artist of 2016 so I'm gonna need the public to start taking to her more next year :(

Who does Dua Lipa appeal to anyway? A couple of my friends like her (teen girls) but no one else seems bothered with her. She doesn't seem to have the budding personality like rising stars Zara Larsson and Anne-Marie have.

they're literally Sky Ferreira-ing her. if this album gets pushed back again, it's as good as scrapped and she'll have to go back to the drawing board and come up with a revamped sound.

Yes I was thinking the same - If it doesn't get released in February they won't bother at all and have her record a new album with some songs surviving from this one.

 

They will be pinning the whole project on the Sean Paul track and new single becoming sizable hits if it has any chance of getting its planned release.

i know chart positions etc matter in terms of selling but i was shocked to learn 'blow your mind' was only a #30 hit??? i feel like i couldn't avoid that song this year

 

i do think there is potential with her but just release the album lmfao its not that serious

people have already heard half the album as it is??

I like Room for 2, and they should've pushed Last Dance last year. Hotter than Hell is good but banal.
