After my second listen, the album is growing on me a lot more. I can clearly see now how this album is very different from FN. It's more mature, and the production is also more experimental, full of fun little details in each of the songs, while also maintaining her disco essence. It has more of a chill vibe. The only downside is that the songs are too short for me, the whole album would benefit a lot with an extended version, just like she released extended versions of the three main singles. I hope Dua eventually does this, it would become a 10/10 album for me! 🔥💖

Falling Forever its easily the best song on the whole album and one of the best songs of her entire career imo!

Totally agree with this. I listen to the three extended mixes in its own playlist. The originals are too short and actually the longer versions provide the psychedelic feeling that the promo has described. I’ve listened a few times and it’s growing on me. Only thing I’d like is a couple tracks that are truly experimental with wild instruments.

I think this is a decent album, Houdini and Falling Forever are my favorites so far

I would not say I am gagged or anything but it is a fun listen

this album is certainly a grower, I've listened maybe 5 times through and I mind myself discovering different sounds in the production. it's a densely produced record, you definitely need to sit with it and songs will stick with you the melodies are so strong

sure the lyrics are a little basic, but no one comes to Dua for deep, personal lyrics... it's all very summery & bright & fun, it'll hit perfectly in the sunshine

End of an Era, Whatcha Doing, These Walls, Fallling Forever are all great!!

Listened to it in full last night while high off my mind, I enjoyed most of the tracks. It was fun discovering the little production quirks sprinkled throughout the songs, her voice is very smooth, and the overall vibe was very chill. I wasn’t blown away or anything, but definitely enjoyed it.

This is my take on the album;

its not a bad album, it’s just that after FN success she had to put out something wayyyyy more bold and unique, and its just another ok pop album. Also the amount of hype around it being “experimental” kinda killed the vibe of the album cause its def not.

This is what she was hyping up as experimental for months?

I hate to see what she would consider basic

The album isn't even available on YT Music yet. They obviously don't want those streams. :ororomunroe:
