She needs to move on from the age theme now. 30 is a nice number to end the theme on and no one wants an album called 37, 38 or 39 lol I'm hoping she gives us more cinematic bops like Love Is a Game and Wild Wild West esque songs this time (and it's criminal the latter ended up as a Target bonus track, not the main album). We don't need any more Greg Kurstin produced songs unless it's another Hello moment... (Also imagine Adele giving us two albums since Rihanna's last album 🙃)

I can't decide if I love this or hate this yet. The song title is at least iconic I guess.

It's so hard to listen to this without simultaneously also hearing the lyrics of Somebody That I Used to Know in your head 🤷🏽‍♂️

07.5 End Of An Era 11.0 Houdini 10.0 Training Season 08.0 These Walls 08.5 Whatcha Doing 06.5 French Exit 06.0 Illusion 04.0 Falling Forever 03.0 Anything For Love 06.0 Maria 09.0 Happy For You

Not them picking Falling Forever ffs

Pt. ii is a bop :cheeseblock: Why haven't the TikTok people made it a viral hit yet?!

Happy For You is becoming such a fave from the album :heart: It would almost certainly flop but wouldn't be opposed to it being a single. Falling Forever is...not it. Choosing that as the next single would surely be the nail in the coffin of this era. The album is a nice listen but I agree, it's probably best for her to move on quickly with another album next year. Whatcha Doing is probably the one which stands the best chance of making a splash as a single - it's so fun and trippy already sounds like a classic Dua song.

I love the fact that a 31 October election is a real possibility. The headlines will write themselves.

Houdini actually still sounds as fresh now as it did on day 1. Manifesting a third wind next week x

This is definitely one of the best shows I've watched this year. I'm not surprised to see it blowing up and resonating with people the way it has done. It is so well made and very brave storytelling. I still can't quite get my head around the fact it's both a true story and the real person playing the lead role. Like Rooney says, the fact that you have sympathy for Martha and can understand the questionable decisions made by Donny, just shows how well crafted the show is and the complexity of the storytelling.

Voted - quite an eclectic mix of songs in semi 2...

Congrats and best of luck to the new team <3

It's easily the weakest of the three singles for me and doesn't touch Houdini or even Training Season. At least she delivered a big music video though.

Sadly it's giving Target deluxe edition bonus track based on that snippet. I may need to stick with Smashini for longer x

They're both good but Houdini is just on another level for me - it's up there with her biggest hits from Future Nostalgia and still sounds so fresh.
