Radical Optimism is such a disappointment

Dua was serving visually too bad the music ain't there. Kevin Parker may be great as a musician in his own right, but a hitmaker he is not. I dunno. I sort of feel like she may have recorded a completely different album and then told to scrap it so we got this instead. She better deliver a new one fast.

I can't believe 97 songs written resulted in THIS? WTF happened?!?
The best I can come up with is that she was forced(or chose to) to work with way too many producers. It's such a mess!
The "Beyonce Method" doesn't work for people who ACTUALLY write songs and have shreds of artistic integrity....this album proves it!
This album has some bangers but is absolute TRASH compared to Future Nostalgia. It's actually fvcking SAD! She want from A to C while working 10x harder for that C than she did for that A. GIRL....WTF?!?
SMH
ETA: Dula Peep had her chance to top herself and she tried too hard and ended up with disaster. It's not like she lost talent....it's that she lost sight of the goal too soon. This is actually ARTPOP!(cringe)
I hope she can recover
