no… it’s actually pretty bad. good music gets recognition. she has a huge head start since she is already a huge pop star. the album is bad, this era is lazy
Albums don’t have to be linear stories. She’s talking about different partners throughout the record but what unites it all is the theme of radical optimism-from having to face your fears that the relationship isn’t working, to thanking a current partner’s ex, to finding someone new at a club, to realizing you’re losing control, to hoping someone understands why you’ve ghosted, to knowing you’re happy for an ex finding a partner. In every song she acknowledges the somber or scary thoughts while still looking forward and making the best of a situation for herself. I like the framing of the project a lot!
Its weird, because to me it sounds like a linear timeline of a relationship. I think people also forget relationships arent all: up up up. Or all down down. It sounded like a story to me. I believe artist (Dua here) tells us a story
for me this album was the perfect of a linear story she first talks about meeting a new partner with end of an era and setting boundaries with houdini and training season then considers breaking up with these walls and watcha doing and breaks up with french exit and meets someone new in illusion and falling forever and anything for love shows how deeply in love they are in and then dua lipa talks about maria and happy for you shows how she has become the maria but she is still happy
This is also the same person to have Don’t Start Now, Physical, Cool, Levitating, Hallucinate, Break My Heart, Pretty Please, and Love Again on one album. Dua Lipa is just that girl haha
This album feels so short and sweet!!! I love this album and I was actually shocked that it was received negatively, feels like this album is her “solar power” album like it’s misunderstood by the general public but there are so many hits in this album!!! As I listened to it I kept the imagery in my head of the two colors in this era: red and blue! And this album starts red and transitions into blue which makes the whole listening journey even better from start to finish I also think that a lot of the negative comments about this album are based on the marketing for it, it felt somewhat messy and not linear so it really felt misleading from the release of the first singles before the album announcement, she shifted management afaik compared to future nostalgia but nonetheless this album slaps, hopefully she releases a deluxe of it soon 🤞🏼
Happy For You is such a good closer. I get teary eyed every time I listen to it. To have a love so special with someone that even though it didn't work out between the two of you, youre just happy to see them thriving and doing well. If I ever get in a relationship and it doesn't work out, I'd want to experience that feeling of seeing them just doing good in life. ❤️
Waiting for Billie but in meantime: 1:45 end of an era 3:53 houdini 6:23 training season 8:50 these walls 10:53 whatcha doing 12:52 French exit 16:00 illusion 18:30 falling forever 20:54 Anything for love 22:51 Maria 25:22 Happy for you
She made a great summer album but I still have disappointment in her when she kept teasing this as some huge passion project. Her vocals are amazing but I still feel the album is very one note. The singles were super strong too so that also made it hard to see this as a “new sound” album. It makes me wonder what songs were cut since she wrote so many. Plus “radical optimism” doesn’t really match the songs thematically imo Like I thought it would be more personal in terms of not just being all love songs.
Harry Styles and Dua Lipa have in my eyes officially brought disco and funk back like fully into modern music. We are here for it and I want it. Feed it too me.
the editing on this is too good 😭I am honestly loving this album, I totally agree about the it's not a strong message but it's a message thing lol she gave us a nice little summer time! also she chatted about it on las culturistas a few weeks ago and I for sure have a better impression after hearing her talk about it
Keep up the good work man, I found your channel a few months ago and fell in love with the content it combines everything i love /GOOD humor/music/real emotions/a great personality/good editing/you know what your talking about like on a professional level and actually giving your real thoughts and feelings about the music. I hope you continue to make these videos because you’ll always have an audience💚
PLEASEEEE react to Carly Rae Jepsen's Emotion album, honestly one of the best albums of the 2010s and so ahead of its time!!! I think you're really gonna enjoy it! There's also a related EP with unreleased songs (Emotion Side B). And her albums Dedicated (and Side B) and The Loneliest Time/The Loveliest Time are so great too!!!
the drums at the beginning of French Exit remind me of the drums in 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover by Paul Simon, which I think is intentional given the meaning of the song!
I LOVE DUA LIPA , I LOVE "RADICAL OPTIMISM" AND 1- ILLUSION 2- HOUDINI 3- WATCH DOING 4- TRAINING SESON 5- THIS WALLS 6- FRENCH EXIT ARE TO ME THE BEST ONES OF THE ALBUM !❤ (PS: illusion is one of the best song of 2024 yup !)
this album is not getting enough recognition its a perfect summer album 🌞 it makes me want to be near the mediterranean sea 🌊 even though there sad lyrics the production is such great vibes 🌀
Good job on dissecting the various instruments but not enough mentions of that kick as* base line through out. IMO, this is her best work so far and she left us definitely wanting more. She's THE QUEEN of dance pop music
Happy For You is a real adult feeling pop song. I don't see it as anyway sad. Maybe a hint bittersweet, but in a really good way. You realise you actually care for that person, when you see them happy, doesn't make you bitter, but actually happy.
When will you react to my boy Jacob Collier?? I know he’s not the kind of music you usually listen to on his channel but you’ve mentioned him before so I KNOW you are at least aware of him????
I listen to the Beatles and the Stones, but this chick has made 3 GREAT albums, and I love that I love them. I have a playlist with all her albums, and there’s not a single song I skip. Not that I listen to it too much anyways, I usually stick to the old, dead guys. But to turn me on to this kind of music is a skill in itself.
one of the best albums of the year. Ik that the promotion and description Dua gave before it kinda killed it's success, but still. End Of An Era, Houdini, Training Season, Falling Forever, Happy For You, all great tracks, especially the first three song run, probably her best.
No way, I was just thinking if the funny dude from youtube reacted to this album already, I open his channel and here it is the video. Manifestation dude.

What’s sad is that this album isn’t getting the attention it deserves. Like people want a summer album, she served it up.

It feels like Dua herself has forgotten about this album too
@@eriklundquest5423LMFSO
The music videos and the vibe isn't giving summer she fumbled the bag with the asthetics

Falling Forever is a career highlight for dua! The best song on the album
Must be single.
IKRR ITS AMAZING
YESSS THANK YOU it’s definitely my fav by her now!!
U can definitely feel the traditional Albanian vibes
This and Houdini are the only gems on this album
I wish so bad she releases THIS WALLS as single 😢
yeah but Falling Forever and End Of An Era first:):):)
Honestly the only one that got my attention :(
These Walls*
imagine having houdini, training season, these walls, falling forever, illusion, maria & happy for you on ONE ALBUM?!?! insane
AND End Of An Era, especially that BRIDGE ???
AND WATCHA DOING??? LIKE HUH
This is also the same person to have Don’t Start Now, Physical, Cool, Levitating, Hallucinate, Break My Heart, Pretty Please, and Love Again on one album. Dua Lipa is just that girl haha
They are not that good
French Exit was a grower on me but now it's one of my favorite songs. The album gets better with time, the more you sit with it the better it sounds.
HIT ME HARD AND SOFT REACTION WHEN???

this album is so underrated like this is her best album she have ever released
5/10
Yeah I just wish it was longer
Hopefully this album will be a sleeper hit because there’s so many good songs! Does not deserve any hate
BRO I LOVE THIS BUT WHEN ARE YOU DROPPING THE HMHAS REACTION???
the real question that needs to be asked
probably next week or the week after that
it's on patreon! based on when he posted radical optimism there and then here, HMHAS would probably be uploaded here in ~2 weeks
You are asking the real questions
and found heaven
If you don't dance in your reviews it's not the same even if it's just a teeny bit. I just wanna give you a hug you're so precious lol keep it up!
I'm glad someone is finally showing love to French Exit. It's a masterpiece.
Ik right? It’s so good!!
i cant stop listening to french exit!

my absolute favorite has to be “anything for love.” i wish she would release a longer version of that song because it’s just too short!!

It's pretty good he should react to it, lunch isn't too good
Where is the Hit Me Hard and Soft album review!!!!! I loved your take on the other albums!
she's got a glass of wine, a great book in hand, endless summer vacation ,a great guy and a bustling career. She is living the life.
I LOVE DUA LIPA , I LOVE "RADICAL OPTIMISM" AND
1- ILLUSION
2- HOUDINI
3- WATCH DOING
4- TRAINING SESON
5- THIS WALLS
6- FRENCH EXIT
ARE TO ME THE BEST ONES OF THE ALBUM !❤
(PS: illusion is one of the best song of 2024 yup !)
ok but french exit having the snare intro that is so reminiscent to 50 ways to leave your lover while not being a full sample is GENIUS
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to Aurora. she just released her new album “What Happened to the Heart?” and it’s transcendent
so when are we getting Billie's HMHAS
this album is not getting enough recognition its a perfect summer album 🌞 it makes me want to be near the mediterranean sea 🌊 even though there sad lyrics the production is such great vibes 🌀
FOREVER WAITING ON HIT ME HARD AND SOFT
We need Hit Me Hard 🧊 and Soft 🧁 reaction
THESE WALLS >
EXCUSE MEEEEEEE…. WHEN IS THE HIT ME HARD AND SOFT REACTION COMING, I’VE BEEN AT THE EDGE OF MY SEAT
I LOVE THIS ITS SO GOOD 🤭 especially illusion
Good job on dissecting the various instruments but not enough mentions of that kick as* base line through out. IMO, this is her best work so far and she left us definitely wanting more. She's THE QUEEN of dance pop music
HIT ME HARD AND SOFT REACTION PLZZ
FOUND HEAVEN BY CONAN REACTION WHEN!! (love this reaction though)
Happy For You is a real adult feeling pop song. I don't see it as anyway sad. Maybe a hint bittersweet, but in a really good way. You realise you actually care for that person, when you see them happy, doesn't make you bitter, but actually happy.
When will you react to my boy Jacob Collier?? I know he’s not the kind of music you usually listen to on his channel but you’ve mentioned him before so I KNOW you are at least aware of him????
Please post the hit me hard and soft reactionnnn
How long is really giving Celine Dion. I’m obsessed!
i was howling when u danced THE DUA danceee
i highly recommend the extended versions of the singles! They're sooo good, Houdini extended version is one of my favorite song ever
I’m literally checking your account everyday to see if you have posted your reaction to Billie. I’m skipping spoilers pls Troy 😞😞😞
this album has a Kylie Minogue energy ✨✨🦋🦋
man I know your overwhelmed with content but i need billies album please.
Editing skills ON POINT
as soon as i heard this album i knew end of an era was going to be my song of the summer
I still don’t understand how people keep hating on this album. Obviously Future Nostalgia is impossible to top but this album is amazing on its own.
I really recommend the new AURORA album!! It’s sooo good 💗💗
I listen to the Beatles and the Stones, but this chick has made 3 GREAT albums, and I love that I love them.
I have a playlist with all her albums, and there’s not a single song I skip. Not that I listen to it too much anyways, I usually stick to the old, dead guys. But to turn me on to this kind of music is a skill in itself.
It’s not a want, it’s a need. I need you to listen to SLEEP TOKEN. Thank you for your time ❤
PLEASE REACT TO HIGHER THAN HEAVEN BY ELLIE GOULDING. I KNOW IT'S LONG OVERDUE NOW BUT I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE BEST RECORD RELEASED IN 2023.
FOUND HEAVEN REACTION WHEN???? 💫
Your dancing always makes me smile. You're such a mood! 😄
YES YES YES TROY i've been waiting for this review way too long love uuuu
Please, react to Hit Me Hard And Soft by Billie Eilish ❤
