It's about halfway there, and aside from a tour boost I can't really see it doing much else.

I’ve listened to this album a bit more the last couple of days and it’s a nice enough short and concise album. It sounds well within the nice weather.

I am kinda shocked there wasn’t a re release as both Dua Lipa the album and Future Nostalgia felt like fully fledged mega campaigns and by comparison this kinda came and went.

I’m glad the tours proving a success for her I’m still tempted to try and snag some tickets!

I’ve been listening a lot more recently too and it does sound great in the sunshine!

My delusional self is thinking that now she is between tour legs and the FN anniversary is over it’d be the perfect time to announce a deluxe in time for the Europe shows. Seeing as both the first two albums have multiple deluxe versions with lots of new tracks, it’d be strange leaving this era with only 11.

Happy first anniversary, Radical Optimism.

#44 in the UK midweeks chart! Good to see the stadium shows in the UK have given this album a boost.

Its a real shame the album never came anywhere close to the success of the first two, it seems to have struggled since the off. Hopefully the next album does better for her and i have a feeling both she and the team will do their best to comeback strong in her next era.

I think it probably wasn't helped by doing nothing else with it since the album was released. They basically just let it die.

But yeah, I think she really needs to come up with goods next time or she'll be in for a Witness style slump.

Almost two months late with this information, but if it's taken into consideration that it involves two songs ("End of an Era" and "These Walls") instead of one, I prefer to post it here. Anyway, I previously mentioned in a post of the "End of an Era" thread that the music video Dua shot in Budapest back in June of 2024 belonged to that song instead of "Falling Forever" as previously reported by Hungarian outlets.

However, it's been said that there was supposed to be a double music video, shot by Bradley J Calder, involving "End of an Era" and "These Walls". You could read the post below.

I feel like this is a good moment to spill that there was supposed to be an End of an Era / These Walls double music video directed by Bradley J Calder (SZA / Tate MVs). It was about Dua being sort of a sea siren / goddess who decides to leave the sea to spend summertime with people. Partying, exploring, falling in love, in various places across Europe. Very aesthetic heavy, would fit both Dua and the era, a shame it never happened!
