    What a truly strong album. Definitely a grower for some and will need a few replays to memorize the songs, but FINNEAS did a great job as a producer and Billie as a vocalist and storyteller.

    In her defense, she wasn't really THAT big outside of FN was she?

     

    Her first album wasn't some huge US success [she was bigger in Europe i think], i think this is essentially her impact outside of FN and the flash in the pan success she had with that album world wide. Should RO be higher in it's first week based off the popularity from FN, probably, but i think debuting at #4 with 60k sales seems about in line for someone like Dua. 

     

    I really only knew her from 2 hit singles before FN. Rules and....some Elton John duet thing. I dunno. 

     


    what @brandon said. Blow Your Mind was starting to get radio play but very shortly after New Rules blew up and pushed BYM to the side. The New Rules/IDGAF/One Kiss/FN era/Cold Heart run was inescapable. Even Swan Song got radio play (and that song was the mark of the end of the DL1 era and there was a moment of inactivity before Don’t Start Now dropped later in 2019). 

     

    At least here in the U.S., Dance The Night for sure overshadowed Houdini, because even after Houdini was released, I only heard Dance the Night being played or acknowledged.

    They dropped the bomb with this whole record big time. You had Kevin Parker and made something more generic that what Max Martin could’ve come up with. What a disappointment.

    because her first-time-manager aka daddy lipa doesn’t know what he’s doing, next question

    Because the music is still FN p2 and the world has moved on from disco and 90s house inflected dance pop unless you’re Ariana grande- she’s added some bass guitar from tame impala songs and called it a day to classify as “psychedelic” when it’s nothing of the sort.

     

    her image is also very safe and boring- none of the era links together thematically or sonically and she or management have no idea what they want from her as a popstar so I’ll be surprised if she’s a major popstar in 2 years.

    Add to that- mutiple film gigs being booked which seem to try to gauge her as a celebrity name but it’s not working and it’s clearly her trying to pivot for other options in case the one career doesn’t work out


    that sucks, I’ve been playing Houdini nonstop since release and was hopeful of a good comeback but this whole era has felt so… flat and noneventful. If you’re going to get into the Tame Impala vibes, go all the way, don’t mayo it for the GP that thinks ketchup is spicy. 
     

    I don’t think the movie gigs should’ve been a priority yet.

    that might be the case with other artist but with Teddy Im certain that’s not the reason, something is holding her back and it’s not the leaks. It’s pretty obvious anytime she announces something she gets tons of hate comments still from the X Factor fiasco… I think that’s the reason we are not getting any! 
     

    Chris Brown has abused and stalked multiple women and still releases music like it's hot bread. Sorry, but getting online hate comments is a bad excuse for not continuing to release music at this point.

    I love to explore the discography of legendary artists. I am currently enjoying Bob Dylan's discography.

     

    I also want to listen to Neil Young's... Harvest Moon is one of my favorite albums. :flutter:

     

    So glad i did this with Madonnas' in 2021. So much good music I have been missing out from. I want to do the same with Mariah Carey and older essential artists like The Rolling Stone or Blondie

    Spotify is to introduce a NEW feature that allows artists under UMG to tease unreleased music on the app. 

     

    interesting.... right after James Blake went on a twitter tirade about the industry bending over AI and tik tok, and later partenered up with Vault, an app "whose pitch to artists is “drop music on your own terms: let fans subscribe to unlock unreleased music straight from your vault”. It has launched this week with Blake as the first artist to try it out." article here
