I’d be here for a RO deluxe to finish out the era before DL4 but I’ll take any new music at this point.

Personally, this could go either way.

I'm also down for a deluxe edition of Radical Optimism, but if this happens, I would like to see more songs from Kevin Parker and Danny L Harle, solely for consistency, to be included there. That said, based of her social media posts and the collaborators, I'm more inclined to think that Dua is eyeing for a new era instead.

RO Deluxe just doesn't make any sense in all honesty!!!

I'd rather have her move on and give us new era/album by next spring!!!

She should release 1st single first week of January and the album in March!!!

She needs to strike while the iron is warm because a few years is a lifetime in Pop. She could justify a 4 year gap after FN's success but considering the result was RO, taking another 3-4 years for a follow-up would be silly.

If I were her dad management, I'd get a single out for summer and one that sounds completely unexpected and left-field. Most of the criticism I've seen towards RO is how it's not radically different from what we've heard before so she's needs to change that discourse pronto.

I expect it could be mid-late 2026 by the time we hear anything of a next era, especially as she's got the tour to finish.

She really needs to nail it with what comes next though, or I could see it going the same way as Witness.
