― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Saturday, 19 August 2017 13:50 (six years ago) link
I feel like they've spent a lot of money and time building her up as a popstar and New Rules being a chart-topper is a reward for length of service, it's good but it's far from the best thing with her name on it. I really like the album but it loses points for relegating Last Dance to bonus track status.

Really glad I clicked on this thread. It has made me revisit an album which I dismissed when I first heard it back in June.

As a regular American Top 40 listener it’s very refreshing to have some played-straight, classy, four-on-the-floor house music back on the radio. The first time it came on I briefly thought I’d tuned the station to WBLS by mistake. Don’t know that Dua Lipa feels particularly vital to the success of the record, but by the same measure she acquits herself well.

"This was my favourite pop star mag cover for some time, I mean I know it's GQ and everything but the combination of her and 'A billion people can't be wrong' with 'Could Jacob Rees-Mogg get any worse?' is pretty hard to top"
I'm really bothered by the way that the question mark at the end of that line pushes past the right border of the text. It looks wrong.
For all those people reading this in 2027, when the image is gone, there was originally a picture of the front cover of the British edition of GQ magazine, May 2018. All of the headlines on the right were right-aligned to a rigid border but the question mark in the last headline, "Could Jacob Rees-Mogg get any worse?", extended over the edge of the border, and in 2019 it bothered me.
In 2027 you will walk through a miniature recreation of London and see a miniature version of yourself.

If you're looking for a popstar to sell you/the public at large on their persona (and I think that's fairly reasonable) then Dua Lipa has absolutely not managed to do that yet, but the material she's been getting chart hits with has been pretty uniformly A+ so far imo

I was on the fence with this song as well, but I’ve fallen for it now, a process set in motion by ufo posting the Fallon performance. All the parts people have identified as great (pre-chorus, chorus, the way the verse starts) actually felt like clunkers to me at some point. That disco break after the second chorus is the real highlight though.

― ufo, Friday, 31 January 2020 00:47 (four years ago) link
if you basically mean Xenomania, I agree, and it kind of makes sense in that that whole sound was itself such a diverse blender of past and contemporary signifiers that it doesn’t feel as tied to a particular time or context in the way that, say, a Neptunes-style production would.
This seems counter-intuitive in that the ~songs themselves~ from that period feel very specific to that era and really did not survive beyond the era within broader popular consciousness, but perversely that means Dua Lipa’s efforts are more likely to be accepted on their own terms rather than tagged as, I dunno, a tribute to the third Sugababes album or something.

i get more of a The Fame Monster vibe from "Physical" more than Xenomania - there's a raggedness to the vocal performance that distinguishes it from something like GA. "Don't Start Now" on the other hand is a lot more pointed and precise, so I hear SAB etc there for sure

Where the Gaga and Xenomania (or more specifically Girls Aloud) comparisons don't quite scan for me is that those productions were absolutely laden with tinsel and tack, whereas Physical has a very specific Drive-soundtrack type filter laden over it. Gaga in particular was unabashedly cheesy in a way that sounded very jarring at the end of the 00s. Physical is going for a kind of dated robotic cool and the Stuart Price production credit absolutely makes sense in that context.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 1 February 2020 09:36 (four years ago) link
Also "this decade's Emotion" is a pretty absurd thing to say about a pop star who in commercial terms has already eclipsed CRJ several times over.
Both singles do feel like a swerve away from that very specific late 10s Spotify pop sound and towards a kind of classicism though.

The reaction on Popjustice is partly because the thread on Dua was started five years ago when a lot of people fell in love with her from the first release of Be The One (when it wasn't a hit). I followed that thread and people were crazy invested in her through every single and collaboration (and that's about eight singles) before the album even came out. It often looked like she might get dropped and be another popinjustice as often happens (see also Annie -- a hero on that forum). The first album was delayed three times and came out a whole year after its initial release date. It's strange to think about what a struggle it was to get that album out and remember that the label who were desperately looking for that hit, just put it out anyway with the Miguel single which was that album's biggest failure.
When New Rules went to number one, it was a rare moment for those posters where everything worked out. Dua seems to be getting everything right this time round and I really don't begrudge the Popjustice crowd for getting so excited. The Emotion comparison is just the idea of a perfect pop record that's perfectly executed (the quality of music, not the release I'm guessing) It looks like Dua is going to get the bigger commercial success, but it's worth remembering that in the U.K I Really Like You was actually a huge hit. It was only when Run Away With Me flopped and that ridiculous staggered release strategy when Emotion started heading for cult status.

Amazing how the remix just fixes everything that doesn't quite work about the original and then spends the last couple of minutes just putting its hands in the air.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 07:41 (four years ago) link
Also I think it's a remix interspersed with bits of live vocal? Really hammers home the extent to which her production sucks all the spontaneity out of her performance.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 07:43 (four years ago) link
i did a quick side by side comparison and i think that's right. the original song, the "live in la" performance video and the "remix" seem to all have the same vocal take, with the "live" ones just having a few live ad-libs added. the only difference i can tell between the performance video and the remix is the mix has been adjusted slightly - the drums hit harder is the main thing.
the original is fine but the remix really should have been the single. just cut off the intro for the radio edit and it's perfect surely?
― ufo, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 08:33 (four years ago) link

― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 4 March 2020 17:31 (four years ago) link
"Don't Start Now" should climb again this week if BTS, who unexpectedly vaulted into #4 without any radio play, drop down. Lady Gaga's single is looking unlikely to threaten the top 5 but "Blinding Lights" might with its strong airplay performance.
"Physical" has so far peaked at #11 in the UK but isn't doing much on any other chart. (It's not on the Hot 100 at all at the moment). She hasn't really promoted "Physical" at all - at least in comparison to the way she promoted "Don't Start Now" - so I wonder whether they're saving the next barrage for a third single to then lead into the album release, which is now only a month away.

I'm actually DJing in Los Angeles in April, as half of Hot Mess, and only the second time we have been booked outside the UK, and I'm very excited. Although I/we play mostly house & techno I like to throw something very current in amongst the more minimal stuff we usually play to hype up the energy or whether that wuls be seen as naff? So the reason I asked about her North American profile was that I was wondering if playing DSN would work. fwiw, it's an LGBT party.
and fwiw, as well, If you are in LA get in touch, send me a webmail on here or whatever. The party is called Ostbanhof. It seems extremely cool (ostbanhof is the name of the station you get off at to go to Bergain in Berlin)

the remix, live in LA or whatever it's called has the excellent percolating intro, which as someone said above should be the standard version of the song… and I have heard it on multiple radio formats and in RL situations in the past month…it is immediately effective in every single context I have encountered, so I would think it would go down a storm at the LGBT party of which you speak…probly a lot of the people who will be there do already or will know it by then, and any that don't would likely be immediately into it…

Her singing is competent, but lacking in personality (she sounds bored). The music is mostly polite, generic dance-pop. The White Town sample is distracting, as samples of well-known songs can be. I like what “Break My Heart” does with the INXS melody.

Went for walk in the park the other night that turned into a disco stepping affair to the beat/tune of this album. “Break My Heart” and “Pretty Please” are on a par with the two big singles for me, but “Levitating” and “Hallucinate”, enjoyable as they are, had me restless for some Fever-era Kylie. I settled on a loop of the full non-edited “Groovejet”. iow, mixed results (but man did it feel good to be outside again - shame it’s so cold right now)
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 1 April 2020 20:38 (four years ago) link
I have to admit I'm thoroughly enjoying both sample-heavy cuts. Imho "Love Again" tops "Break My Heart"; it's simply a better song. On the other hand, "Break My Heart", really does it for me with the... cleverness? i'm not sure that's the word but it's the best I can think about. Any way, it's clever in the way it integrates the INXS riff, and it's so sticky.
But the two songs that I keep hearing in my mind when I'm not actually listening to the album are "Hallucinate" and "Cool". I think those two will end up being my favorite cuts. "Hallucinate" in particular is totally relentless and reminded me of "Fever" too.

the likely bloated and godawful remix i need right now
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Monday, 27 July 2020 19:48 (three years ago) link
i'm not satisfied by the dialogue i've seen about dua lipa, maybe i just haven't found the good stuff. nothing is good at describing how successfully she occupies this space of having been around the block re: love and relationships but maintaining this clear line from what she knows is real love to how it may or may not play out for her. the register of her voice, the craft of the songs all highlight this appeal. when people accuse it of being generic i think they .. aren't available for this kind of direct, concise, surprisingly deep and worldly discourse on love from a contemporary pop star. she has been very good and successful and convincing at giving us variations on this not generic but general theme. i have a hard time thinking of pop stars who i can satisfactorily compare her to for this reason.
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Monday, 27 July 2020 20:02 (three years ago) link
it occurred to me that she's like if Amy Winehouse wasn't reactionary, a la "oh contemporary pop music is so bad, I want to sound like when it was so pure" etc etc… it so happens that her voice is very similar to AW's, but it is used atop state of the art pop stylings…

dua lipa is fine. I'm a little suspicious of how pop stars are rewarded commercially and sometimes critically for having very manicured, "always on", don't-rock-the-boat personas (the recent twitter thing an amusing aberration) but she's got a bunch of jams it would be silly to deny

i mean...it was never advertised as anything other than basically a blessed madonna x dua lipa DJ-kicks?
personally i think it's really fun! i was very underwhelmed by the madonna & missy remix, but it sounds a little less drab in context and there are many other entertaining moments. "boys will be boys" finally making sense as a samba workout! jayda-g doing "cool"! mr fingers elevating "hallucinate"!
not sure why it's being retconned into this era but i liked the new take on "kiss and make up" as well.

yes, that's correct (sorry if I implied otherwise). The Blessed Madonna has taken the various remixes and turned them into what's more or less a continuous ~50 min mix

― J0rdan S., Friday, 28 August 2020 07:52 (three years ago) link
anyway this is a much cooler idea than a normal remix album
xpost yep I'm listening now and that's what it is - sorry, was thrown off by jed's "nobody's remixed anything" post upthread.
I don't know about this... there are some good moments but the mix feels rushed, there's barely any time for the tracks to breathe. both the Mr. Fingers and Paul Woolford remixes need to be wayyyy longer than two minutes wtf.
Faves so far: BM's own remix of Love is Religion (is that a new track?) might be the best thing here, so joyful. also liked the Jayda G and "Boys will be Boys" remixes, and the Dimitri from Paris edit - is it time for the jamiroquai re-appraisal yet?
Worst: the Mark Ronson remix as mentioned above (Gwen Stefani doesn't have the chops to carry that huge "Physical" chorus at all, yikes) and the JLC remix which is just hilariously lazy.

I don’t blame the kids - given how rushed this feels, there’s hardly anything for them to latch on to and the lack of name recognition doesn’t help. Like aside from Missy and Madonna, they prob don’t know anyone else than maybe Yaeji and Mark Ronson (the latter’s is the one they all seem to like so go figure).

the Dua Lipa experience is hearing a song you've heard a million times and going "who is this" and somebody says "Dua Lipa" and then you immediately forget again— Sam Adler-Bell (@SamAdlerBell) January 14, 2021

― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 13 May 2021 13:55 (two years ago) link
some of the remixes are ok i guess but they're all at least second-tier for the artists in question imo. the fingers remix is nice but it's hard for me to ignore how his chords clash with the key of the vocal. worst in that regard is the paul woolford remix, just like ... wtf was he thinking? that doesn't work for me on any level. it just seems like there was no dialogue at all between dua lipa or her songwriters and the remixers - just all on separate islands and it sounds totally phoned in as a result, less than the sum of the parts. there must have just been too many people involved without anyone making overall creative decisions and like covid and everything, idk.

unexpectedly i found the 2cd edition for £2 today.read this thread, expected the worse re the Blessed Madonna mixtape version.instead, like a proper cut-n-paste sample heavy mixtape, i bloody love it.so much fun.the label must have had a lot of fun clearing/paying for samples.cant recall the last time i heard a major release with so many samples.not heard the album proper yet, but damn, best £2 i have spent in a long time.

be still my beating heart.
ps. heard the proper album now. yeah, it's bloody brilliant.still don't get the hate the re mixtape as it's exactly what i'd expect/want from a dj mixtape.celeb phone ins, samples, and quick cut-n-paste drops of remixes.i think it's a brilliant 50 mins of pop/dance perfection.
given the rather boring megamix that girls aloud put out for their Tangled Up album release, then i cant help but throw a lot of love to Dupa for the effort put in by all concerned.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxdbmq/the-dua-lipa-lawsuits-could-cost-her-millions-according-to-a-lawyer
There are two suits. One concerning the vocal melody in "Live Your Life" (posted above), the other the vocal melodies in these songs written by L. Russell Brown and Sandy Linzer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsEXuWK7PZE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCtlrFwKE_Y
I am very curious to see how this turns out. With acts/songs these small, it's not hard to imagine these could be coincidences; others have noted the Artikal melody sounds like "Rosa Parks," too.
You have to show your work is original, and you have to show some theory of access, meaning that [the defendant] had a reasonable ability to access it. Then you get to substantial similarity, which is a two-step process.
This is such a weak requirement so as to be basically pointless. I suppose it protects a famous artist from being sued by any John Doe but Artikal Sound System isn't far removed. It would be interesting if they had to prove the artists involved had the song in question in their possession. Is some sort of digital forensics ludicrously easy to evade?
― Indexed, Thursday, 24 March 2022 18:35 (two years ago) link
This is getting ridiculous unless I am listening to the wrong parts of the songs, in both cases there is only a passing similarity of rhythm and melody, but only in the case of the line using very broad immediate patterns.
― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 25 March 2022 05:13 (two years ago) link
That “Blurred Lines” lawyer doesn’t provide much in the way of analysis, he just makes some pretty obvious points (“if she didn’t copy the song, she’ll fight the lawsuit; if she did, she’ll settle,” etc.). They should have talked to a musicologist about how strong the similarities actually are.

there's an audible similarity with the artikal sound system track, probably enough to hold up in court with how weak things are after the "blurred lines" lawsuit
but the brown/lizner tracks seem pretty dubious, there's just a tiny bit of the melody that has a similar phrasing & rhythm to it, but i don't think the melody itself is actually that close?

Somehow I was expecting something completely different because she had mentioned that that the new album was going to be 70s psychedelia-inspired. I don't even know what that means but I can't hear any 70s or psychedelia in this track. Sounds more like it has elements from a very specific era circa the early 80s.
I do think it is excellent, though. Much better than Dance The Night.

"A couple years ago, a friend introduced me to the term Radical Optimism. It’s a concept that resonated with me, and I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life," Lipa says in the announcement. "It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm. At the same time, I found myself looking through the music history of psychedelia, trip hop, and Britpop. It has always felt so confidently optimistic to me, and that honesty and attitude is a feeling I took into my recording sessions."
