Now that Dua's album probably won't do that well, can Gaga please announce something and release it? I'm feeling Boring Pessimism

Sadly this world is very transphobic…These people are clearly disgusting, nasty, vile, spiteful human beings who have nothing to add to society 

Do they realize that they are just being absolute a-holes to a marginalised community bc they hate gaga...and whats more concerning is that these are gay men

Yikes. 

Some of these reviews are ROUGH. 

Clash Music: 6/10

"It’s hard not to feel like the lead singles live in their own sonic universe. The remaining album tracks, while lyrically co-ordinated, lack sonic cohesion."

The Guardian: 6/10

They drag her for her claims that this was a psychedelic pop album

"In light of its advanced billing, it’s hard to listen to Radical Optimism without wondering what on earth its author is talking about. It sounds nothing like any of the artists mentioned, even less like a “psychedelic pop-infused tribute to UK rave culture”. Instead it sounds exactly like an album by Dua Lipa."

The Line of Best Fit: 3/10

"Nobody needs to know the details of Lipa’s real life to lend her songs weight, but there should still be something in her performance, delivery, songwriting or production that sets them apart from platitudes, from background noise."

Pitchfork gives Dua a 6.6/10. Welp. It could've been worse I suppose. Same score they gave the standard version of TTPD.

Beyoncé, Taylor and now Morgan Wallen. I guess someone really wants Post Malone to be a hitmaker again.

Most of big pop girls releases this year are lackluster. Don’t know who settled this trend of boring albums that leads to nowhere but Beyoncé,  Dua, Taylor are right in this box.

Gaga needs to shake the full thing asap.

Well, I’m kinda glad none of these girls are serving good quality. Maybe it’s time for Gaga to redeem herself and change pop culture again

CC is lacklustre especially after the glorious Renaissance.
