2020 was an absurdly good year for pop, but I'm not sure this qualifies as so much as an honourable mention.
The hooks are mostly there, but it/Dua Lipa in general has such little personality — there's a persistent sense that could have made by anyone (other than that end run, which should have been made by no one). Don't think her latest (while still very average) was nearly the step down people made it out to be either.
I get that for sure. The reason this stuck with me so much was because it was one of the first albums I jammed when I was just getting into pop music, so it has a lasting impact on me
