Dua Lipa is entering a new musical era, with "Houdini" and "Training Season," but to some people, it seems like she's just playing it safe and reusing her old sound--in fact, it has caused a debate online.
"Dua Lipa's music all sounds the same," a netizen claimed, sparking an online debate over the "Don't Stop Now" hitmaker's discography.
"Is it just me or nah but her discography is so basic. no improvement, no growth, no artistry, and just a basic pop. The fact that she won a Grammy more than [Katy Perry] and [Ariana Grande] is something that should be studied," another added.
"I refuse to stand for [this] slander. She found her sound and it works, ok!" A fan wrote, defending the singer.
"The reason why people say Dua Lipa's music sounds the same is that she never released a single bad song! ALL OF THEM SOUND LIKE HITS!"
Dua Lipa Fails to Secure Billboard No. 1 Hit
Netizens claim that the reason why Lipa has yet to score a Billboard No. 1 hit is because her music is "boring" and "repetitive."
As per Billboard, the "New Rules" hitmaker has come close to claiming the No. 1 spot with "Levitating" in 2021, and "Don't Start Now" in 2020, but it only managed to land at No. 2.
Meanwhile, her other releases faced the same fate; "Dance the Night" peaked at No. 6, "Cold Heart (PNAU Remix" with Elton John peaked at No. 7, and "New Rules" peaked at No. 6 as well.
"Dua Lipa's music is so..... Boring. It's not bad, ok, but every song is just the same. Typical H&M store music," one wrote.
Her recently released single "Training Season" is constantly compared to her other releases, particularly the ones from her sophomore album, "Future Nostalgia."
