I think she has enough singles on there. There's only four tracks on the standard that haven't been released!

 

I will be waiting for Hadji to say "She should have put Scared to be Lonely and No Lie on there"

Personally, I'm glad that "No Lie" and "Scared to Be Lonely" weren't included. I know that she has a co-credit in the latter and it's one of her most streamed songs, besides "Be the One", though.

 

Anyway, I'm wondering if "IDGAF" is the other track with a collaborator if it's considered that she mentioned that there were two (right?) and "Lost In Your Light" is one of them, which features Miguel.

I wouldn't have put No Lie (doesn't fit imho) but Scared should be in there, as that's a proper hit that has connected with people and is still doing well everywhere in the world

Agreed there's no need to put No Lie on there as she is only a feature and as people say, she has enough singles on there as it is. I do think Scared To Be Lonely could've at least been tagged on the end though purely for the fact she has joint lead credit on that one.

I actually disagree regarding No Lie, I don't think it would've hurt to add it. It's her highest peaking single in some countries. Even if it is just a feature, she's prominent enough on it for it to be passable.

She revealed at her London show that the other collaborator is Chris Martin from Coldplay. (!!!)

 

From Twitter:

Dua just revealed she has a collaboration with Chris Martin on the album xx

I saw her last night, and despite never hearing it before, Want To was a huge highlight, and had a great reaction. I don't know why it hasn't made the album at all... much better than Room and Thinking.

 

I also don't see the harm of adding both No Lie and STBL as deluxe tracks at the end. The more songs people recognise the more likely people will be to want to buy the album as a package.

"Genesis" (Acoustic Version / See In Blue documentary)

 

wow never expected a duet with chris martin! but why not release it as lead single then?

Aside from it feeling like the first single would have been recorded about six years ago or something by now, I suspect the Chris Martin duet is far more recent in recording after she has had a few hits to her name.

 

Plus, duets or collaborations with people more famous than the main act are rarely released first from a project, they tend to get the single treatment later on down the life cycle of the album as releasing them first feels almost like admitting that you're not good enough to stand on your own merits...

Standard tracklist according to iTunes NZ:

 

1 Genesis

2 Lost In Your Light (feat. Miguel)

3 Hotter Than Hell

4 Be the One

5 IDGAF

6 Blow Your Mind (Mwah)

7 Garden

8 No Goodbyes

9 Thinking 'Bout You

10 New Rules

11 Begging

12 Homesick

 

Deluxe tracklist hasn't updated (yet) but I assume she won't leave off New Love and Last Dance entirely? (and Room For 2)

Room For 2/New Love/Last Dance are all on the deluxe + 2 more songs

 

(EDIT:

13. Dreams

14. New Love

15. Room For 2

16. Bad Together

17. Last Dance)

I thought you were all talking about Louisa Johnson when you say 'So Good', before realising you meant that Zara monstrosity. :lol:

 

Eeek.

Homesick is stunningly beautiful! :heart:

Saw Dua at Radio 1 Big Weekend her set was one of the memorable ones for me, high energy and such a performer. My partner wasn't sure who she was but afterwards said he knew the songs just not her name

How did she not release New Rules?!?!

she's been so dreadfully mismanaged by her a&r to the point it's just not going to happen...'new rules' is exactly the way the whole project should have gone...this is such a lesson of old men working at record labels and not getting how it is in 2017...

WHY in hell was it decided to release Lost In Your Light over New Rules???

I can't even imagine why they decided that??
