not a Future Nostalgia track, but try Oklou’s stab at “Fever” for a remix that totally works on its own terms

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.

rumours abound of a joint disco album with Kylie!
― boxedjoy, Wednesday, 16 June 2021 19:26 (three years ago) link
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.

she improved on it tho

I can't remember if they said anything in the Song Exploder episode about how they came up with the chorus. I'll have to go back and listen to that later.

i have a hard time believing it's anything but an unfortunate coincidence tbh.

there are only so many sunny pop song chorus progressions you can do.

a real rip would have more of the vocal melody line in common

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?

new single is boring, I blame Tame Impala
― Murgatroid, Friday, 10 November 2023 00:22 (ten months ago) link
I like Tame Impala, even their most recent album, but yeah I'm not much into this. Tame Impala + Dua Lipa + Danny Harle should certainly be better. But who knows, I hear this enough times maybe it will grow. I do like the ending synth
― Vinnie, Friday, 10 November 2023 00:32 (ten months ago) link
that is a bizarre combo of writers/producers
song is underwhelming, not terrible but it's more 'ok album track' than 'comeback single'
― ufo, Friday, 10 November 2023 00:49 (ten months ago) link
so her new album probably won’t be the “British Lemonade” I’m guessing
― Murgatroid, Friday, 10 November 2023 01:38 (ten months ago) link
Great production and the last minute is really cool, but the chorus just isn't strong enough. Hoping it'll grow on me like Dance The Night did.
― kitchen person, Friday, 10 November 2023 03:09 (ten months ago) link
The stuff 'dis hyped releases' threads were made for
― you can see me from westbury white horse, Friday, 10 November 2023 04:49 (ten months ago) link
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.

when the hell is her new album coming out????

Love the vocoder outro, wish it went on for another minute in that vein.

"Houdini" did grow on me a little but the new one is a more successful collaboration between the same artists. Still not wowed but a good song

both of the new tracks aren't awful but they're so.... rote

"Radical Optimism" out May 3
1. end of an era2. houdini 3. training season 4. these walls 5. whatcha doing 6. french exit7. illusion 8. falling forever 9. anything for love 10. maria 11. happy for you
"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."
― Vinnie, Wednesday, 13 March 2024 21:19 (six months ago) link
radical optimism - like the hope Dua Lipa stans have that the album will still be good after the two singles that have come out??? *ba-dum-psssh*

Or do people no longer care about Dua Lipa? :(

Me neither.
I just assumed some people here got early access to releases.
― daavid, Tuesday, 30 April 2024 17:52 (four months ago) link
I fully expect it to be pretty good, okay, toe taps a little, and then when I’m finished I’ll never feel the need to hear it ever again for the rest of my life. Hope I’m wrong.

I think her music feels like generic radio stuff now, even if it didn't always. I even hear other artists copping stuff from her, like having a group of girls shouting "Yeah yeah yeah."
― Never fight uphill 'o me, boys! (President Keyes), Thursday, 2 May 2024 20:03 (four months ago) link
She's on SNL this weekend. Maybe that will stir some buzz.
― Never fight uphill 'o me, boys! (President Keyes), Thursday, 2 May 2024 20:04 (four months ago) link
well she has released a series of retread singles that are essentially objectively not as good as the singles from the previous record. so it feels like a 1+1=2 situation to me
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 2 May 2024 20:30 (four months ago) link
there's been a weird disconnect with the rollout where she has cited a bunch of british rock bands as influences but the audience is just hearing a replay of her last 'era'... i wonder if the album will reveal a tension between the single choices & the album tracks that makes her framing of it make more sense
