Posted August 15, 20177 yr Dua has already stated she's working on album 2! Who else thinks we could get a 2018 Q4 release?! Edited March 28Mar 28 by Juan Carlos
August 15, 20177 yr Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if she rinsed Q4 to sell self titled, and then released a new single in like late Q2 with and album for Q4
August 15, 20177 yr Oh this is very exciting not sure if I want another single from Album 1 but if not I reckon she could have a feature planned for Q4 that will get her name out there.
August 15, 20177 yr They need to strike the iron while it's hot and definitely get a 2nd album out sooner rather than later!
August 15, 20177 yr They need to strike the iron while it's hot and definitely get a 2nd album out sooner rather than later! Yes. I find this is what happens with debut hit eras. People wait way too long before album 2 and hype dies off to varying degrees. Like Haim, Bastille, Emili Sande...I'm starting to worry for Years & Years too. So I hope they start releasing new stuff in 2018, and think they will.
August 15, 20177 yr I think Dua's in a situation a bit more like Shawn Mendes. Stitches was his breakthrough hit and that came after his album (albeit almost a year after it, as opposed to a few months like this). He managed to strike while the iron was hot and got Treat You Better out ~6 months later, then the second album and he did really well. Dua's in a similar kinda spot, she could probably do with a new single out in Q2 or so next year and the album late Q3 maybe.
August 15, 20177 yr A new single in like Feb and then another for summer before the album would be perfect! Maybe a feature alongside one or the other as well if she can.
August 15, 20177 yr I hope she experiments a bit with this album, her best songs are still the ones she did before BTO blew up across Europe
August 19, 20177 yr She has been in the studio with Flume and Diplo. Regarding the former, she mentioned that it was an attempt to know each other because they previously haven't, but they will be recording soon. Also, they were with Sarah Aarons, who co-wrote "Stay" by Zedd and Alessia Cara. That said, I'm looking forward to this. Besides Calvin Harris, Flume is also one of my favourite producers and they could work really well together in my opinion.
August 20, 20177 yr This album could be really good. I can imagine loads of big producers will be wanting to work with her as she's a fresh new but very successful pop star.
January 4, 20187 yr She's currently in Jamaica, where she's going to start writing for her next album. From Instagram: If you need me i’ll be here for a couple of weeks. I feel so lucky to have woken up in paradise with some of my favourite people that I love working with to start writing for my next album. So grateful for all these opportunities and so thankful to get to do this as my job. Sending you love from Jamaica xx 🇯🇲❤️
January 6, 20187 yr She's currently in Jamaica, where she's going to start writing for her next album.She's with Clarence Coffee Jr., Sarah Hudson, MNEK, Dan Traynor (aka. GRADES) and Stephen 'KOZ' Kozmeniuk there.
January 15, 20187 yr I love Andrew Wyatt! <3 I really want this album to kick off at the end of the year, but I have a feeling it'll be out around this time next year, with maybe a Q4 single beforhand?
January 15, 20187 yr I'm hoping lessons are learned from the debut with her and the team realising what works and doesn't work. For every fantastic song, there was a more filler-type track and that spoiled the flow of the album for me. I imagine she's one of the hottest people to work with right now which is fab news...so long as they bare in mind quality-control. That sounds slightly negative, so don't get me wrong, I am really looking forward to what the second album has to offer. Hopefully we'll get a couple of interesting vocal collabs too.
