4 years of waiting and it's just 30 minutes long? only 11 songs? Disappointing :crossed: At this point it should cost half as much as regular albums

Radical Optimism is 36 mins, 11 tracks. Future Nostalgia was 37 mins, 11 tracks.

That's still a bop. :bradley: A pop album does need it's slow ish moments sometimes if they're good. I think Fever, We're Good, If It Aint Me and That Kind of Woman are way better tracks than Boys and Good In Bed but they were obviously finished after the album was out. Still nice that we got these during the pandemic, I wonder if she's gonna do a deluxe for Radical.

Well dua keeps saying that she wrote 97 songs and like 75 of them were not good/ not done so we have like 11 un-accounted songs so deluxe?

problem with this type of short album is you could have banger after banger but if more than a few tracks are filler/bad it could ruin the whole thing, which is what happened with me with future nostalgia

What are the fillers for you in FN? Because for me, FN for me is very solid aside from Good In Bed and Boys Will Be Boys

I'm so tired of people calling songs "filler" when it's just not a super popular song. Let those who like the songs enjoy them and you can just skip it. By this site's standards 30% of the album is filler anyways because most haven't even seemed to like any of the singles. So should those have been cut and the album been 27 minutes with 8 tracks?

It’s always when artists make a straightforward pop record that you get to see really antiquated attitudes about music. If it doesn’t top a chart or get a ton of streams then it’s failed at its job, because pop stars are factories for products, etc. Eventually Dua is going to move on to something else and all those people are gonna reminisce about how good they had it. Lol

Personally I don’t need an album to be 60 minutes plus to enjoy it. I like it to be awesome, and concise. There is so much other music to be enjoyed as well. 
 

I’m really looking forward to Dua’s album release. Future Nostalgia is great to listen to again after some time has passed. Pretty Please is a highlight for me. :sis:

She'll probably release an extended version of the album like Kylie Minogue with "Tension". 

Honestly, i don't care too much about the length, as long as she maintains the quality. So far I haven't been disappointed, I've loved every one of the three main singles, they are fun, they are catchy, and they make me wanna dance which i think it's the main goal.

It's Dua Lipa we're talking about after all, i know what to expect. The thing she's best and most consistent at since the beginning of her career is releasing fun bops to dance to, and with this album it seems that i'm getting FN 2.0 and i'm here for it! So bring it on! 🔥
