The issue for me is the disconnect between what was told it would be versus what we got. If it was marketed as a fun, light hearted summer album it’d be perfect. But the dark costuming for performances and being told it would be psychedelic but we got what we did is confusing. It’s not a bad album, just marketed wrong.
THIS
"eternal sunshine was inescapable" AHALJHDAAFHJSSAAADAHHH WHEREE GURL
People care too much about numbers, there I said it
Literally😭 like y’all r forgetting this sold twice as much as her last album first week, also u can’t always be on an upwards trajectory it’s not realistic
Anything nowadays that isn't No.1 is a flop according to the internet...
@@baileybuckley497 apparently...
I fully agree with you.
@@baileybuckley497 thats what im saying! and radical optmism got #1 as debut album on billboard so they were wrong either way
Are y'all smokin crack? Radical optimism is a great album! I think people are more concerned about chart positions, but damn the songs are good, These Walls is a classic already for me.
Literally. I don’t care at all about the streams and stuff. I like GOOD music, and Dua delivers EVERYTIME.
Falling forever is where shes like "here are my vocals"
This album delivers on all aspects I care about. Production = solid. Lyrics = sad, mature, and beautiful. Vocals = best I have heard on a Dua Lipa album.
People ARE smoking crack. The album is n.1 in the UK, France and in several countries AND n.2 in the US!!! Where is the flopping? 😳😳😳😳😳
@@alexd1121 that’s what I’m saying!! They didn’t even let the album marinate
Of course it's not FN, but nothing is. My only gripe with this album is its lenght... I truly hope we get a sizeable deluxe this year
FN was the same length but yeah we probably will get a reinste at some point.
@@blaue_sophie1317 it was?? omg I was under the impression the standard version had about 14 songs
Yeah, it feels longer but only 2 min longer.😅
And she said she wrote 90 songs for this album. There could have been a couple more at least, it’s barely 40 minutes
It’s honestly wild for me to say this because I absolutely loved Future Nostalgia, but after giving Radical Optimism some time… I think Radical Optimism is more complete. I’d have to do a side by side comparison of the albums but I genuinely think people were giving her too high of expectations without her not doing Future Nostalgia part 2.
i liked Radical Optimism more than Future Nostalgia on first listen ! Future Nostalgia hit me on like the 3rd or 4th listen, meanwhile i’ve replayed Radical Opstimism a lot. It’s not the best thing ever and also i like it so much
More of the songs should of had a Houdini vibe.
Lmao the intro. As someone with their own channel I totally get it! I wanna make my silly little videos but no one will watch em. I gotta start making stuff that’s popular 💀
It literally hit #2 on billboard hot 200. Like What more do you guys want??😭 the album is so good
i think when future nostalgia was released it had the current state of the world and music industry to help it be this massive album (and its amazing - I'm not hating on it at all) and really boost the visibility of it while i think radical optimism has those things working against it a bit. everyone and their mother is releasing music this year and its just been overshadowed in a flooded market. when future nostalgia came out, the world was basically shut down and no one else was releasing music at the time.
i became a big dua lipa fan early 2021 after i listened to future nostalgia in full and was literally amazed. the singles and the theme and the live performances were all so perfect!! i think radical optimism is different but i’m still enjoying it a lot. i totally agree though, i have heard little to nothing about it on social media lol. i’m curious to see if it’ll gain traction as time goes on, all i know is i will indeed be streaming
Same here, all I know is that I'll be listening to it time and time again, some "opinions" on social media are not gonna change that
I think the label forced her to make some last minute changes and rebrand the album as a summer album, because otherwise it doesn’t make sense that Dua was promoting it as psychedelic/experimental britpop and the only psychedelic songs are Houdini and training season, the rest are just generic pop songs lol, and also dropping this year was a BIG mistake with everyone dropping albums. I loove dua but the concept of this project was not strong enough to stand out from the rest unfortunately 😢
😢we were waiting for four years though,it's good she eventually dropped
Honestly I didn't even notice Beyonce released an album. I was busy not listening country music
I personally love this album and I listened to it without listening to what the critics said first. My opinion was genuine. I feel like if people could separate it from Future Nostalgia, they would find it more enjoyable. Tracks like End of an Era and These Walls are freaking amazing!
Fr!! I feel like if Future Nostalgia didn’t exist and just took the album for what it was more people would enjoy it. These Walls, End of An Era, Happy For You, and Falling Forever are my favs!!
@@SomethingProductions420 those are favorites of mine too! I hope people grow to like it more over time
It’s a missed opportunity. Dua said that Radical Optimism would be “psychedelic” and a “tribute” to UK rave culture. It’s none of those things. It’s pop. Worse, songs like Falling Forever are Eurovision trash. I wish that she’d taken her sound edgier, sexier and more experimental (as she promised).
not to mention the kaleidoscope album and single covers pre Houdini like what was that all about? 😭
She needs to have another album next year. This album isn't going to have the longevity she hopes it does, her trajectory really reminds me on jessie ware's trajectory. This album is her glasshouse but i know her next will be a classic especially considering how dua really pays attention to what the streets are saying and she works on it.
I think my problem with RA is what she made us believe it would be. I was really excited about the direction because it really was giving evolution but the final result was so disappointing, especially considering who she was working with.
I do feel like she has the experimental version but the label pushed her to release a safer version because of how Houdini never took off.
WAKE UP JASMINE ZADE POSTED!!!!!!
I did notice there was a sorta shift in the marketing between Training Season and Illusion but I still enjoyed the album a lot. (Maria and These Walls are my favorite b sides from it.) I knew it wasn’t gonna be FN but I did appreciate what it had going for it.
People look at Future Nostalgia with rose coloured glasses tbh. People just miss the ERA, while in reality, a lot of big hits and moments from that era aren't even on the original album.. and that moment had very questionable moments as well like "Good in bed", where the chorus almost sounds like a sheep or goat. To me, as a Tame Impala fan, this album hits all the right places. It's summery, it's a good vibe and I still think "Houdini" feels like a modern "Thriller". This just reminds me of those pop albums from 2008-2014 and I'm happy at least 1 artist is just giving happy vibes without overthinking too much.
Since the album dropped I feel like I've been the only person enjoying it, like it's so good to me. It's clearly not FN, is not as iconic and exceptional, but I still really enjoy it for what it is. I think that Dua's biggest mistake has been describing the record as "psycodelic" (don't know how to write that word btw). I personally didn't know that the album was supposed to go into that direction, so I just enjoyed it as it was. I thought the whole aesthetic was supposed to be "super saturated mediterrarean summer", which is basically Dua's Instagram's aesthetic, so I really thought it was great and suited Dua amazingly. It was when I entered the internet that I saw people upset. I'm sad that people might be missing out on a great album and vibe, just because it was not what they expected (songs like Maria or French exit 🤩) Now I'm curious about the deluxe version, will it go in a more psycodelic direction, which I suppose was the initial direction of the album and they might have songs with that vibe? Or will it continue with the Mediterranean summer vibes? Anyway I just want good music.
I might be stretching, but it's the Americans that are having issues with this album. This album, as a European, is so euphoric and summery I love it. It reminds me of chilling on a beach in Italy at sunset or something, I can't describe it. Everybody here is loving it, and she stayed true to her Euro-pop roots like she said she would! Album of the summer to me
I want her to release a full extended cuts album so badly!!! Those songs are soooo well developed and Deffo lean more into that psychedelic vibe. Otherwise I agree w u - I’m just enjoying the album for what it is!

NAH NAH NAH radical optimism is defffffffff sooooo good i feel like ppl really miss furture nostalgia
Agree with you, specially when it comes to the aesthetic disconnect of the album. I liked the album, but I was expecting something different. Another problem I think it was the timing of release. Radical Optimism was released not that long after TS’s ttpd, and the albums are very different, but as a fan of both singers my attention was on TS and decoding the lyrics in her album, and I forgot about Dua’s album. And right now I find myself listening to ttpd on repeat and I keep forgetting about Dua’s. And there is just not enough time in a day to go back to radical optimism and find my true favorite songs. Maybe in the future, but right now is not a priority.
i didn’t really like the album my first listen but then all the songs were stuck in my head and now most of the songs are on my playlist LOL it was a grower for me
i’m also a solar power my lorde stan (it’s my fave of her albums) so the beachy vibe i guess calls to me
it’s easy to look at an album or song’s chart debut placement and base your perception of the its performance on that, but what matters is longevity. yes, radical optimism debuted at number two in the US, but it’s currently receiving fewer daily streams on spotify than sour, an album released three years ago. it also had a lower spotify debut than future nostalgia.
I’m a total Dua Lipa stan, and I love this album so much. But, I love every part of your review and agree with everything you said. I do think the album is a total grower and the more you listen, the more you realize how cohesive and well thought out it all is. And she did get experimental with the production using a variety of different sounds that are a psychedelic and trippy electro pop versus disco. And I do think it has a more organic feel of a band working in a studio together like she said. The production and hooks are excellent, the vocals superb. But yes, it definitely didn’t match up to all of her pre-release descriptions.
Peps will always find something to nag on
The Album is A BOP.
the glasses look cute on you!
I would absolutely disagree that Eternal Sunshine was “inescapable”. I think Dua and Ariana are both in the same boat. Ariana’s album came and went and no one was talking about it because her last albums kind of have done the same (one or two big singles and the rest forgettable). Dua just came off a HUGE album so the difference is a bit more glaring.
the hair!!! you look so so soooo beautiful. omg
omg thank you so much :’)
(respectfully) i dont care at all about dua but i will sit here and listen an be interested for as long as you want to talk about her
As a big dua lipa fan the is comment hurts me a bit
@@randywhite3947 i dont dislike her in any way!! i like some of her songs but ive just never been the biggest fan. I would totally take song recs though if you have favorites
even when houdini came out nobody said nothing
only song i like on this album is anything for love! good lyrics, melodies, beat switch, great vocals (as always)
i recommend on listening to it
It seems like she may have created loads of songs in the process, most actually experimental and as she described, but her team last minute chose the most ‘safe’ options for her, the most generic pop sounding songs and singles for more sales. Which would make sense why they suddenly change the aesthetic and album cover. When in reality it backfired and people are disappointed and no one’s talking or buzzing about the album
ur opinions are always the right ones to me
i was supposed to go out today but i will be fifteen minuets late because our queen has posted
the album just got out let it marinate 😭
commenting early BUT i actually liked the album! it was cute and put me in a good mood ❤ not the best project I’ve ever heard but i also wasn’t really holding her to the standard of doing FN part 2!
Honestly i think enteral sunshine came and went as well, tho yes it was talked about, it felt like people moved on very quickly from it when Beyonce released cowboy carter and then Taylor Switch.
was going to say this. Cowboy Carter was HUGE for Beyonce and ofc Taylor will outsell everyone but Eternal Sunshine really came and went. It didn't have a big moment like sweetener or TUN did.
I think she’s mistaking her Twitter circle for everyone. Like who’s “mothers or grandmas” were listening to that album😭
Love the black hair 🖤🖤
thank you!!
ahhh i love ur glasses
I say it here... never hire your dad as a manager! Dua did that and it costed her a lot. We already see the effects. It is sad that she did not stand with Tap managment, many things would be different.
Radical Optimism is Dua Lipa's first #1 Album on Billboard. Flopping ? More like POPPIN'
YEEEPPPP!!
Thank you! People are crazy.
No it peaked at number 2 is number one in uk
She did not get the number one spot in the US.
@@SN-bk5xjit was in the UK, no one mentioned the US right?
I didn’t hear anyone mention ariana’s album irl. I’m 26. That’s odd!!!
Everyone and their mother was talking about thank u next frfr
I've been a dua fan since her debut album, and I haven't been able to stop listening to radical optimism since it came out and I feel like this is her strongest album yet. I think they originally meant to make a darker album (considering how she described the album) but switched it to a more summery vibe since it would be too similar to future nostalgia and that would've been too confusing. also the fact that she's predominantly a pop artist meant that she definitely wasn't going to go down any experimental paths like the first description she gave us of the album said. I can hear a lot of britpop influence, but calling it psychedelic and inspired by rave culture was a huge mistake. in my opinion, radical optimism is a really stable album but future nostalgia was a masterpiece and gave people higher expectations for this album, I still think both albums are 10/10s anyways
Great video Jasmine! Totally agree this album is cute, its a vibe but the bar was soooo high with ms future nostalgia!! I liked Watcha Doing and Falling Forever a ton but yeah the bops were def the singles she dropped before. Interested to see if her tour visuals and performance can make this album come alive more. Dare I say im optimistic hehehehe
I like it. It reminds me of her album before future nostalgia. My favourite song from Radical optimism is Maria.
i will watch the video even if i’m not a fan of the person jasmine is talking about or don’t like them. thats how slay jasmine is.
that is just so nice of u 💘💘💘
@@jasminezade
I like the album for feeling like an actual honest depiction of where her life is, and not just being a sad album about breakups. It's not FN, but I don't think she meant it to be. It's just a fun album, and sometimes that's all you need.
Yep
Honestly its gonna be a grower. In just a week like 3 songs grew on me BIG TIME🔥🔥i went into it with wrong expectations and thats what shook me until i cleared my mind n went back in, now im saving to buy the vinyl, ill wait for the cd only bc shes dropped deluxes to her other 2 albums so i think maybe this one too
People are too focused on deep personal lyrics to stir up drama and 2 hour long albums now that they can't enjoy a nice summer album with good melodies and production. Dua is not a drama girlie she keeps her personal life private. And FYI Radical optimism debuted number 1 in the UK and Number 2 in the US.
And people said she would flop smh
Its basic and souless and i never thought id say that about dua. I love her first project too. Out of all 3 you can tell which one is lacking
oh CLOCK it. jasmine zade always with the real T.
An album full of pure pop gems. Love it more than Future Nostalgia. Some people just don't get it thinking they are going to get another Future Nostalgia.
Yep I honestly like radical optimism more than future nostalgia
I haven’t listened to it yet, and i honestly don’t have any urge to listen to it, yet i will. I’m sure I’ll like it more than expected. Though i am way tired of Houdini and training season- wasn’t really a fan of that song at all tbh.
Its good. Dua isnt an artist, shes a chameleon for producers and a very pretty model like celebutante. To me. Everyones mistake is in perceiving her as anything more than an influencer who makes tasteful pop. And thats not a bad thing. Continue to see her as what she is and enjoy what you get imo (unless you dont of course) because the product is decent. Shes not Lady Gaga or Billie Eilish and she doesnt need to be. And quite honestly i dont even think she markets herself that way so im confused by the comments here.
Dua is facing a cold shoulder because of her activism for Palestine & her call for ceasefire. It’s all political. She was the media’s darling before that. Radical optimism is a great album. Taylor & Beyonce are hyped coz they have stayed silent & played the game.
Would love if you design DL4 era and how should she redeem the era…
Honestly, if she wants the album to be experimental, she could maybe do a test run with one single as this seems to be a major problem with the label according to the comments here. Also, I feel that she should probably be discreet with her words just so people won't be disappointed at all.
oh she looks GOOOOOD in this vid
i listened to the album same day it dropped because my spotify was not having my LTE connection, and it was the only thing i could force it to play. i love dua, but i was gonna save it for later, but i definitely agree with your points. its a good album, dua slayed, but it's not future nostalgia, and its not breaking boundaries as much as dua's second album.
like radical optimism is coming out the same year as tyla's first album, smarter by le sserafim, and with you-th by twice, all of which have the same summer pop slay. none of these are the same genre or soundscape at all, but they got the same VIBES. future nostalgia made more waves because it was so different from what was dropping at the time. radical optimism isn't. it's not copying or basic or anything like that, but it is not doing anything that makes you go "WOAH THATS NEW THIS YEAR" you know?
dua slayed, and its gonna be a hit, it's just not an instant hit. which is perfectly fine. but also numbers are not everything, and frankly i dont care about the numbers, cuz whatcha doing and houdini are so good i dont even care ahaha
edit: agreed fully on the album cover thing too. we were ROBBED.
I really enjoy this album, love the visuals and all, tho I must say I didn’t pay much attention to the marketing or way of describing it before the launch
i was at a concert this weekend and brought you up to the group i met in line and one girl knew who i was talking about and described you as “that lesbian louis tomlinson girl who cries in her reactions” HAHAHAHAHA
The album is honestly magic to my ears. FN truly set the bar way deep into outer space and I don't think I'll ever stop streaming it BUT RO is also filled with bangers. Ever since I heard it for the first time I often find myself singing a random song from the album and it's always a different one. Seems to me that I can't even find a favourite, they are just that good.
That said, it is true that Houdini, Training Season and Illusion carry a certain mood that the rest just don't, which was surprising but not a deal breaker at all.
Even though I love the album (it's the first album record I ever bought lol) I doubt that it will be the album of the year due to the questionable marketing. That's not a bad thing though, those awards and numbers literally mean nothing. It's so much more vital that Dua does what she likes and develops her style into a direction she enjoys. And who knows? She's the queen of sleeper hits so I wouldn't be surprised if ANY of the songs become viral in a few months
I didn’t really keep up with all the promo and info leading up to the release of the album, but I will say I was confused about the album cover cos when she released training season, I thought that was both the name of the album and the cover. I’m not a musical visionary so I don’t know how it would flesh out in 9ish songs but Houdini felt like it fit for the training season vibe too ? I think the album was okay to be honest but I didn’t have enough care to be as upset/disappointed as others
I think the release timing maybe not the best also? For me I was waiting to listen to it but it took so long to release since houdini and they released it now right after Taylor Swift dropping two albums that got a lot of people busy reacting to them... I myself was so busy with Taylor's songs that I waited a couple of days to listen to Dua's album
okay this is kinda creepy but i was watching this video at a cafetaria and after i finished watching they literally played illusion right after it…
i had no idea that dua released an album until i clicked on this video😭
I do agree with the theory that the shifted vibes/decisions shifted mid-production...
i wasn’t wowed by the singles so i didn’t really give the album a go tbh. maybe i will later on.
19 place drop in the US Album Chart Week 2
I play RO at least once a week. Only listened to Beyonce and Ari’s new album once.
i really didn’t like this album lol, and i generally like her music. i think the name was a huge turnoff for me for some reason, maybe because i prefer significant music lol and if not, like a dark vibe aka physical, a bop. i liked houdini danny l harle’s mix, it sounds sooo different from the released version and i love it. but RO just didn’t do it for me, save for “whatcha doing?”, “maria” and “falling forever”. for me, to like 3/10 songs is pretty bad lmao, i generally would just discard 1-3 songs. so, yeah… fn was that girl and i loved the deluxe, too. imo, she should really do a spin on her music, and actually come out with something new for her. cuz where is the promised psychedelic vibe? i imagined sth ultraviolence-esque lana del rey, but i see i was very far off :D.
anyway, hit me hard and soft is out and omg i’m in love. album of the year is def between HMHS and TTPD. masterpieces.
Why is it so short tho???? Like only half an hour or so
Make a video about room under the stairs
I’ve heard this theory before but it doesn’t make sense. All of the photography and visuals for the album were done at the same time last year before Houdini even released so she already had the aesthetic and look locked in. Couldn’t have really changed it
Its a little confusing because the alternate cover vinyl has an insert with photos that kind of match the alleged "original" aesthetic. Judging by the writing dates on the songs they did have another writing session after the singles but meh whatever. The album is good.
i was excited for this album bc i thought it would be music for the girls who are in the dance studio all day, who wear layers and layers of clothes that don’t match but they can find a way to pull off, who are just cool, like in houdini and illusion music videos and the training season vibe and title. like, that’s for sure where it was headed. look at the training season merch. the ac milan looking football shirt. plus the britpop, massive attack reference. it WAS a whole different album. it WASNT this sleepy chilling at the beach thing. anyway…
People love the chart numbers and it's wild. Who cares if it's number 1 or not. Not every album needs to hit number 1 for it to be good. Just because it hits #1 does not mean it's good. Also, y'all crave change until the change isn't what you expected. Listen to music for the music and not if it's top 10 in billboard.
THIS TITLE LITERAAAALLLLYyyyy
she has two of the most streamed albums ever. She achieved so many successes with these two albums. Calling such succes "fluke" or "coincidence" is could be the most ridiculous thing Ive ever heard. At this point, she cannot goes into her flop era with an unsuccessful album. Also, Radical Optimism is not a bad album, but her team had mistakes in PR and promotion.
If she needs to do exactly the same thing forever again, she doesn't need to do anything in her life ever. Radical Optimism is nice, sounds like a lot city pop to me, it's different than the previous one, and it's good.
The songs on the album were good actually but everything else went wrong
The vibe of the album completely changed to summer vibe thus Singles like Houdini and training seasons didn’t make sense or really fit the album if it’s the summer vibe ur going for .and top of that she released the single back in nov which is a big no no if it’s supposed to fit the summer album vibe .
I also feel the singles were not the best for the album if this was the theme , they should have gone with illusion , these walls , falling forever and close the era with end of an era . That would fit the whole aesthetic of the album .
I don't think the album is a flop by any means. BUT with that being said, I just feel two things happened with this release. First it will almost be impossible for Dua to duplicate the success of Future Nostalgia it was just way to huge. Same thing happened to Katy Perry after teenage dream. Second she released three singles months and months before the album even came out, so by the time the album came out those tracks were already kind of "old" to our ears by that time...
She just blew the lid off the ACMA awards. who have you been talking too.
Its really a flop…..
Not sure if nominated but Dua has proven she can feed us during an era and I think it’ll be a great run for RO
no she's not coming for album of the year 💀
I’m more upset about what she promised but the actual album isn’t bad. It’s just a light summer album. But is it something anyone can sing… kinda. It just doesn’t feel like this is Dua Lipa. It just feels pop girly. Too radio friendly… like FN any song could be a single. And this newer album lyrically is very thematically repetitive and surface level most of the time. Like maybe she needs to pull a Taylor and released the scrapped songs, maybe get the fans involved in choosing?
the album is cute, i just want her to succeed and this won't do it. i'm not excited about it, i don't even wanna see a tour for it. all the highlights of the album came out before the release making the little that's left feel...just okay! if you liked the singles you're not missing out on the album.
RO is an awesome album tho. But FN will always be iconic.
We can't expect her to be always on top. We can't expect it at all from every other artist. In general expecting is so... bad and often brings sad dissonance. She set the bar high with FN because every song there was a well made radio friendly potential hit. On RO she experimented and because of it it's not that catchy with first listen. Like French exit is weird and sounds nothing like Dua, anything for love is cute but too short and singles are different from the rest of the songs. I also think 'psychodelic' was big, misleading word and we had different expectations. Also for many 'psychodelic' seems much more experimental that it shouldn't be 'radio friendly' but at the same time 'it's Dua' so she can't do wrong because she didn't on Future Notalgia :D so she should release only hits. It should be promoted more as 'euphoric summer album, maturing, changing perspective, experimantal melodies'. To me it's good. I really like that album. I love the visuals. Music videos for this era are on top.
I actually like it, it's not wow,but at least she didn't have a sophomore slump,more like a third album slump
Room under the stairs by zayn reaction pls!!!
I think this album sounds too much like her other albums + this year is very busy, all the pop girls are releasing music now
In my opinion she chose the wrong singles to release because to people who like really listen to music and understand it can hear it sounds different then fn but to the average listener she just putting out the same shit and that doesn’t make them wanna listen to the album she should have released the song these four walls and French exit as singles cuz if she relased French exit people would have been like oh let me give the album a try
I really love this album, but i really thought it was going to be a huge flop. I was surprised when i saw some of its successes. The mixed review doesnt help either
People expect it to sound like FN, which is the wrong perception to have overall, Dua even mentoned that RO does definitely have a select few dance elements from future nostalgia, but at the same time she has also mentioned how there are elements of DL1 that she's brought back in a more polished form in this record. It's a shame that some of her "fans" expect her to sonically stick to FN only, thinking that all she is here for is to bring back disco, completely disregarding DL1. Real ones will be able to hear some of the DL1 elements and will appreciate it, hence why (I think) RO is her most consistent album front to back, no skips for me.
(However, FN is still my personal all-time favourite, but I like pretty much her whole discography anyway.)
Imo her lyrics are getting predictable & repetitive, and for that reason her lyrics are getting boring. But even so, I loved Houdini. I’m very confused about the theme about the album…
Where have you been? Waiting for you to comment on Louis Tomlinsons S America tour etc👍😎
its flopping
