From BBC:

The star said the album would be a "nostalgic" pop record. She couldn't say when it would be released - although she's previously said it was scheduled for the end of the year.

 

However, the star hinted the first single could arrive sooner than that.

 

Asked what she thought this year's "song of the summer" would be, she said: "I don't know if it's something coming from me or someone else..."

Does "nostalgic pop" mean music she grew up listening to, like early noughties vibe, or nostalgic in the lyrics?

 

I hope the former.

Hoping for an August release for the single then!
I hope the same to be honest. Ideally that should happen, so the album could be out in November or December at the latest, although I'm wondering if her and/or Warner are planning a Q1 release at this point.

I’d quite like a Q1 release from her tbh.

 

Q4 is better sales but in Q1 i think we’d have a better chance for #1 or maybe even a May / June release like what Gaga did with Born This Way.

 

Lead single around the BRITS followed by the album a few month later.

 

I think she’d benefit from having a bit of a extended break personally.

 

Her debut albums still top 40 and it hasn’t been that long since we had new Dua music.

 

 

C'mon Dua, I hope this is amazing.
I don't know why, I've just got a feeling that she won't do anywhere near as well as we would maybe expect her to do. It's just a gut feeling I have.
Female pop is so difficult to get right chart wise these days. She got incredibly lucky first time round but hopefully that continues.

I think based off hype and her name alone the song should at least debut top 5

 

But it’s chart run will depend on the song itself.

 

Like it could have a chart run like Taylor’s ME! If it turns out people are disappointed by it or it could go on to become another New Rules / One Kiss.

Confirmed by an insider that this will be out on November 1.

 

Was it Mr.S on ATRL?

1st of Nov is risky. I'd have released a couple of weeks earlier, given songs take 3/4 weeks to take off these days and Christmas songs will start cannibalising everything around then.
A November 1st release is mega dangerous. This could easily get lost in all the Christmas nonsense.
I’m actual worried for her considering every female right now is underperforming and November is very dangerous considering the Spotify top 50 will be full of Xmas songs

Hopefully she can stay off ACR until the new year and it can really take off then when the charts are quiet (that is, assuming it isn't a big hit before then which it very well could be)

I don't think this is by any means a guaranteed hit by name though, if it doesn't have a hit feel to it I fear she could do about as well as Camila is
