Nomad LostIt's definitely no secret now that this album just didn't connect with the masses. It leaned into the 80s sound too much, plus the album concept was pretty out there for a pop record.
I've said it before, but this album has no Blinding Lights, which even as a very 80s sound record, is probably more contemporary sounding than anything on Dawn (besides Less Than Zero). The songs on this one are definitely pop, and I bet he thought Sacrifice and TMB would be big hits. But I think it should be clear now that those disco, thriller type tracks are NOT connecting with casual audiences.
He said in an interview that he thought other big pop stars were "cosplaying" the 80s sound, and I while I personally do believe that Abel does do it better than others - I think the overall casual market was turned off by how much intensely he went with it.
I and many other loved the record, but if Abel expected to have a big pop album with this one, this is an L for him. Besides Less Than Zero (which I do believe will eventually become a hit if he stops failing the promotional run for this album), I don't think any of these songs will become hits.
A lot of Americans have been brainwashed to hate anything remotely disco
Daft Punk got lucky tbh

Jan 23, 2022·1 replyhttps://twitter.com/talkofthecharts/status/1485089429442240512thegreatdivineI guess when everyone was talking about staying power and songs growing on people they got Sacrifice confused with Pushin 🅿️
Glad to see good music winning but I don't think it will compete for #1 next week like some people think
