"Radical Optimism" Official Exhale Listening Party (Out Now!)

[Luminous]

Hey guys, as you already know, Dua Lipa's latest album is coming out this Friday and I thought it would be a great idea to create this thread so we can share our experiences with "Radical Optimism" and see which is our favorite song, least favorite, and If the album is a flop or a bop.

At the moment, I personally love the extended version of "Training Season" followed by "Houdini" and lastly "Illusion" (I like it but it doesn't stick in my brain like the others).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The album is already out, what are your first thoughts? And your favourite songs?

I would describe this album as a "warm sound to my ears" sonically and this is clearly a "break up" album so it makes me a little bit sensitive lol.

The “singles” they chose were definitely the right ones.

My expectations were very high after a tremendous album like "Future Nostaliga" and clearly "Radical Optimism" doesn't come close, but I think this album didn't have the intention of being better either, but rather different.

I think it's far from being a flop, I only listened to it once and I really liked it, it's a very cohesive album.

My favourites so far are "These Walls", "Anything For Love", "Maria" and maybe "Happy For You".

"Falling Forever" may be the next single, has potential.

Sweetie, it's not even out yet. It's not even leaked... So, makes no sense to already create a thread right now.

You just want a hit thread.

The UK store have already shipped my physical copies. Not sure if this is so they can get them out for Friday or if they're going to come a bit earlier.
