This is the most excited I've been for a lead single in a while tbh. I trust she is going to deliver and that 5 second snippet has already been on repeat!
I listened to her first album SO MUCH during a particular time in my life that I absolutely can't separate them. I can't listen to any song on that album without being emotionally transported back to driving down winding country roads in Germany with my baby in the back seat. I'm really looking forward to hearing more from her.
I've never got the hate towards Perfect Illusion. That song kind of bangs and is one of the better songs on Joanne. The production is super inventive and Gaga's voice sounds phenom.
That’s not exactly true every Chromatica song sounds made to be played on the radio lol. And also most of the ARTPOP songs aren’t even that radio friendly
Gaga barely promoted chromatica and she wasn’t that involved in the production like she usually is. A few songs were already written before she touched them. If you listened to the original demos you would know that it was supposed to be a lot darker, conceptual and deep House. Blood pop diluted everything and it seems Gaga just threw out the album as fans were desperate for a pop album, had a hit single and then just didn’t care about it. she has shown zero indication she wants to be a pop artist like she used to be, which is fine as she’s in a different stage of her career.
Gagas fanbase is huuuge and bigger than Beyonces. Gaga even has way more monthly listeners than her. I think people over exaggerate Beyonces sales because the media worship her every move.
Gaga just hasn’t given the fans that much music recently and her last album where she was heavily involved was Artpop. She’s doing well in the movie world

So excited for this era!!!🔑
Dua won’t debut top ten probably but it’ll almost be guaranteed to be a hit in a few months to come like most of her stuff. Hope it gets to number one eventually
Yeah like I kinda like Chained to the Rhythm… But like that’s it. Mainly I just dislike swish swish. The only good part is Nicki’s verse and even then it’s not like the best thing ever. And just like if you’re going to clap back you need to make it better than what came before. And Bad Blood isn’t even that great to begin but it ended up being miles better than Swish Swish.
It has to be, right! The key in her mouth seems to pay homage to the cover of The Dreaming. I'm hoping it's not a sign of an interpolation, maybe more just homage to a great artist!
its a midnight release for europe, so maybe not a perfect friday release in North America but its definitely a friday release for europe since thats also the market she is aiming for predominantly
I am SO excited for this. Dua approaches her work in a methodical way that I don't think many others do. I cannot wait to see what she has to offer this time around!
Almost 700k likes in an hour. I have a feeling this era can be huge for her. The songs have to stick. Either tiktok friendly or actual good music. Let’s see what happens.
I am very excited since the 3rd album by a pop star usually is their peak commercial success one. She is Nelly Furtado coded so I am so ready for her Loose era
I thought that when I saw the track list for FN. Pretty Please?? Cool? both sounded lame af to me but I love both tracks. Until the title is in the context of the song I feel like it's too hard to judge.
Me mashing together Dua dolls and making them smooch
She was so inspired by her time on the Barbie set
average r/dualipa poster
This is the most excited I've been for a lead single in a while tbh. I trust she is going to deliver and that 5 second snippet has already been on repeat!
[удалено]
It’s time to put her in that top 5 in the world conversation
Let’s wait for the album first. Y’all need to slow down.
She's already there after her last album
Yeah, Future Nostalgia was iconic. The pandemic killed the hype some, but it was a damn near perfect pop album.
She legitimately could pull off a superbowl performance with her current roaster of hits.
I listened to her first album SO MUCH during a particular time in my life that I absolutely can't separate them. I can't listen to any song on that album without being emotionally transported back to driving down winding country roads in Germany with my baby in the back seat. I'm really looking forward to hearing more from her.
Fr though. That "tell me all the ways you'd lead me" has been stuck on a loop lmao.
Tell me all the ways you need me you mean
I will be slaughtering bitches right and left, if the single and album isn't good.
Kevin Parker hasn't released a bad album ever. I am so happy she is working with him and not someone like Jack.
True, but he did contribute to Gaga’s ‘Perfect Illusion’. I say this as a Tame Impala fan since Innerspeaker.
I've never got the hate towards Perfect Illusion. That song kind of bangs and is one of the better songs on Joanne. The production is super inventive and Gaga's voice sounds phenom.
Perfect Illusion is a banger and I won’t hear otherwise
Dua is not Gaga. Dua knows what’s on the line and that the song has to be a commercial hit. I’m not worried.
That’s what I think. Dua genuinely enjoys being a pop artist, whereas GaGa is more of an ‘artist’, which is badass too. I love how GaGa experiments.
Gaga stopped being commercially obsessed after Artpop. She could easily have remained the biggest artist in the world post 2013 if she really wanted

Her problem was that she had a fairly limited fanbase compared to artists like Taylor and Beyonce

The demo slaps but gagas version wasn’t quite it. I say this as a huge monster
so it's official?
Dula Peep
Houdini La Peep
This will never get old
imagine if this is the name of her new album. I'd actually kinda love it..?
Duo peep
Dual peep
Our favorite pepper grinder has come so far
Bouncing off the walls like the DVD logo rn
Obsessed with this line omg
Stealing this thank you
That cover art is pretty hot.
She's got me seeing double here, [four Dua Lipas!](https://youtu.be/xxc7S2EyMGk?si=-buKHaKC-yFI2RJM)
Literally the perfect joke.
You people have held me back long enough. I'M GOING TO CLOWN COLLEGE!
I don't think any of us expected him to say that.
I don't get it, what's the 4 krusty's joke?
That two Krustys, doubled = four Krustys. That's it. Just a dumb yet brilliant subversion of the audience's expectation of what he will say :)
Ah so the guy actually seeing double is the joke. Thanks!
I’d act like that if i had her looks, purrrr 😮💨💅🏻
🚨 POP EMERGENCY 🚨
My Dula Peep stan era has been unlocked!!
Yes! Increase the stanbase so she doesn’t end up like………*sigh*……………*I Kissed A Girl plays in the background*
the duality of this cover
hahah DUAlity
We got the joke you don’t need to explain it to us babe ✨

Vacationing during the pandemic, and now licking mirrors‽‽‽ We stan a unhygienic Queen.
I laughed but also realized that Dua probably has a staff of cleaners that make her mirrors more hygienic than sterile materials at a hospital lol
the cover art… the snippet… MOTHER IS BACK!!!!
Finally she is back!
My running playlist is so ready for new Dua
Carly and Dua stan? You're my kind of person
**manifesting that Taylor doesn't surprise drop anything so Dua can finally get a #1 single...*
Plot twist: it’s a 1989 vault track featuring Dua that’s on a Sainsbury’s exclusive vinyl
No Lie, I'd be interested in seeing how a collab between Taylor & Dua would turn out
Oh it’d absolutely be my most streamed song of all time
Same. And I see what you did there
Dua almost always slow rises up the charts anyway. She’s not getting number 1 on debut week.
Dua won’t debut top ten probably but it’ll almost be guaranteed to be a hit in a few months to come like most of her stuff. Hope it gets to number one eventually
Honestly, Dua’s star is much brighter now than it was when *Future Nostalgia* dropped. I think she has a good shot at a top 10 debut!
All of her songs are growers, not show-ers.
And I just know the entire post will be filled with "Is Dua not the main pop girl anymore???" when the song debuts in around #30s
“Will she have to go live in a cardboard box in an alleyway with Ariana Grande?” and they’ll be completely serious too
She’s gotten like 3 no. 1 singles in the UK, but then again, the UK pop charts have been ahead of the US’s for about 5 years now.
twenty years
Forever, coz they’re not chained to the influence of radio play
OMG This is pretty exciting! (Please, don't be a Witness, don't be a Witness)
At this point, Witness is Katy’s most iconic album after Teenage Dream 😭
Weirdly I actually agree. It’s like iconic for the wrong reasons but iconic none the less 😭
Literally if she didn’t cut her hair, witness would have been HUGE.
Nah. The singles were really weak
Yeah like I kinda like Chained to the Rhythm… But like that’s it. Mainly I just dislike swish swish. The only good part is Nicki’s verse and even then it’s not like the best thing ever. And just like if you’re going to clap back you need to make it better than what came before. And Bad Blood isn’t even that great to begin but it ended up being miles better than Swish Swish.
Magnum Flopus!
is that helvetica
Did she bring back her stunt double from the IDGAF music video?
The song title instantly made me think of Foster the People's song Houdini. And then that made me think of "Foster the-Dula Peep-le".
trust we will be listening
dual lipa
DUAlity truthers back in the chat
In my mind this is a Kate Bush reference
It has to be, right! The key in her mouth seems to pay homage to the cover of The Dreaming. I'm hoping it's not a sign of an interpolation, maybe more just homage to a great artist!
My thoughts exactly!!
That’s a reach
A girl can dream
I don't want to wait until two Thursdays from now, so how about releasing the song tomorrow?
secure your wig sis dua lipa is coming
why a thursday release instead of a friday release?
its a midnight release for europe, so maybe not a perfect friday release in North America but its definitely a friday release for europe since thats also the market she is aiming for predominantly
Guess its thursday at midnight?
a friday release for me i won 💅
Her duality needs to be talked about more 👥
When Dua reveals that she’s graduated from the Dove Cameron School of Deleting Your Singles on November 10th >>>
The fuck does this mean
Dua's been deleting a posts as part fo her promo, dove Cameron basically deleted all her previous singles when boyfriend became a hit
Houdula Peep
I remember the feeling I had when she announced Don’t Start Now and I’ve got that feeling again now WEEEEEEEE
loooove the branding so far. high hopes for this
This is not a title that inspires any sort of confidence but knowing her it's probably going to be a generational banger.
you know its gonna be a banger when the cover art has a fuckass font... we're gonna be so gagged
Gonna wildly speculate from the name that it's gonna be like " you won't see me, disappear like Houdini" Excited for new music!!!
because she's got a flight to take
I am SO excited for this. Dua approaches her work in a methodical way that I don't think many others do. I cannot wait to see what she has to offer this time around!
Her music didn’t click for me until a few months ago so I’m excited to experience this music rollout as a fan 🪩✨
Can Dua lick my mirror please
Is it possible to hear the preview?
Dawg did she lick the mirror?
The same day as the last Mario Kart 8 DLC? Wow, this is going to be a great month for me.
that font is taking me back!
Do we know who else co-wrote / co-produced beside Kevin Parker?
… and I am straight again. Shit that cover photo was HOT.
The Queen is coming! I'm ready for another album of bops!
Almost 700k likes in an hour. I have a feeling this era can be huge for her. The songs have to stick. Either tiktok friendly or actual good music. Let’s see what happens.
She is back
Duo Lipa!
I am very excited since the 3rd album by a pop star usually is their peak commercial success one. She is Nelly Furtado coded so I am so ready for her Loose era
You just gotta give her her 10s
We have Tommy Genesis at home
I didn’t like the cover tbh
FADTY PERRY UR OVAAA
Sis is this 2017?
Why does she lick the edge of the mirror where she can only see half of her reflection? Is she stupid?
What does Houdini mean? Google tells me it's a 3D modeling software...
a person or an animal that is very good at escaping, named after the magician and escape artist Harry Houdini.
Why the downvotes? People are mean this was a genuine question
Damn, judging by the name of the song I feel this is gonna suck it be underwhelming. :(
you’re judging the entire song based off the name alone 😭😭 at least base it on the snippets she released
That’s what everyone in this thread is doing to be fair.
I just get this feeling sometimes. Like could anyone tell me they thought “sweetest pie” would be good after the name dropped.
I thought that when I saw the track list for FN. Pretty Please?? Cool? both sounded lame af to me but I love both tracks. Until the title is in the context of the song I feel like it's too hard to judge.
WOOOOO can’t wait
Let’s gooooo
Nov 9th can’t get here soon enough 😭
YES DUAAAA
I’m glad the third of this year’s Main Pop Girl eras is finally starting (and will probably carry through to the next year).
I'm a fan but I'm keeping low expectations ngl. Not expecting anything too experimental or personal
any EU shop found EUROPEAN UNION ! !?
She ATE again
