Dua Lipa — Houdini + album 3

[Christian]

This is BRILLIANT

So catchy, so groovy, so smooth. It builds perfectly too

 

[Musictoe and Wine]

Absolutely love it, and she looks stunning in the video.

The last 30 seconds or so are pop perfection, roll on DL3!

 

[Santos Claus]

It’s a BOP, I’m not obsessed but it’s a BOP!

 

[Kratz My Goal]

This is a GREAT pop song.

Here’s to staying firmly in your lane!

 

[Christian]

Is there a part of this that isn't a killer hook? It just doesn't let up.

 

[the octy and the ivy]

You actually need the last third or so to make sense of the whole song so it clicks on the 2nd listen.

I'm struggling to get over the way she pronounces the title tho' - it's a bit stage school - WHOO-DEE-KNEE.

I'm not sure how else you're supposed to pronounce it, but she's a Sylvia Young School girl, so blame them

 

[Christian]

Presumably The Su-Elise Nash School Of Dance, Performance And Sanging was fully booked when she applied

It's over-enunciated as if it were three words. But yeah, that explains it.

Tougher to get into than the RADA

 

[A Lolly Dolly Christmas]

I'm giving it a strong 8 on first listen. The production is Immaculate.

 

[A Lolly Dolly Christmas]

It's over-enunciated as if it were three words. But yeah, that explains it.

It's the way the syllables are equally stressed, I think. But l like it.

 

[Phoenix]

On first listen it’s a bit insignificant.

Always good to be reminded of one of my all-time favourite Tweets.

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

I’m going to listen TWO MORE TIMES before giving my judgement

WELL

 

[Winter Wandaland ᱬ]

WELL

They’re scheduled for next week.

 

[the octy and the ivy]

It certainly doesn't put me off DL3, I'll say that.

What about the Royal Tampa Academy of Dramatic Tricks?

 

[RJN]

this has been released and I have listened

[RJN]

I do like it a lot but I’m not OBSESSED like when I first heard Don’t Start Now or Levitating. But it could easily grow

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

WELL

I like it.

Her voice still sounds like stale porridge but she has the best producers and songwriters so I’m feeling it

 

[dUb Actually]

As one of Moopy’s top Dua cynics/haters… I like it a lot

 

[Santos Claus]

It really BURIES its way into your MIND.

 

[FetchFugly]

This is glorious. It wasn't quite the initial rush of pop euphoria of Physical but it is just relentless and the production pops.

I think her emphasis on Houdini totally works.

 

[hallilujah]

Yes this is what I was thinking but struggling to find the words. I am liking it, I was worrying this would go too down the route of no melody but this is in the middle for me.

 

[hallilujah]

Lands at #2 on Spotify daily chart UK, behind Jack Harlow

 

[Kratz My Goal]

WHO?

How did the streaming figures shape up?

 

[Jark]

a somewhat tepid 5.4m debut on global. she never debuts big big though.

 

[RJN]

It’ll be a UK number one in January and a US number one in June

 

[Dark Carnival]

Get that summer hit Dula!

Love this Nancy style conviction-prediction!

 

[Pipolar Express]

I hope they don't fuck up the single rollout like they did with FN. Anxious bastards releasing Physical when DSN was at its peak was a mistake; I remember how it was quietly shoved aside to make room for Break My Heart when it cooled down.

 

[Beverley]

Houdini is GREAT

 

[Christian]

Dula!

 

[Jingle POP!]

 

[Pipolar Express]

Why was I reading just yesterday a series of tweets LYING about this FLOPPING then?

She typically debuts low and takes months to creep up the chart. The streaming numbers for this were front loaded, hence the highest debut of her career, but yeah it is kind of falling quick on streaming. I think it's too early to tell. The charts freeze between now and New Years, so its trajectory from January will be interesting.
