    This being your example for the US' bad taste

  • one of the weakest lead singles in recent pop music. everything but the chorus ("do you think bout it night & day?") is very weak and uninspired. melodically it sounds like everything she's done b

  • I like that the most notable things about Dua is that she’s a gorgeous pop star who makes great music. And then when you peel back the layers a bit, all you really see is how intelligent, worldly and

Yeah this is a major bop and the HQ on platforms you can hear all the extras they added to it. 

 

The production is top notch.

btw, do we think these 6hrs will hurt Spotify's performance? :chick2: the song is doing good in youtube 

1 hour. Spotify's tracking period is based on the UTC Timezone.

oh btw I see why some monsters said the production reminds them of Artpop :gaycat3:


Yep, the song has a little electronic beat similar to Donatella, Swain, MJH.

It’s the ARTPOP effect :WAP:

I hope she goes on tour in 2024 I need to see her again!! 

USA first please

oh :chick2: I'm gonna say 6hrs if this debut with -3M :gaycat4:

Wow this is FANTASTIC. What a way to come back! This is taking her usual style but going way harder into it. I’m sure it’ll be a huge hit once again for dua!

again, I think Dawn FM would have been more successful if The Weeknd had known how to push the era.

Save Your Tears was still big when he released TMB, then he appeared in collaborations almost every 2 weeks that left him overexposed and finally... he didn't promote the actual singles. :chick3:

This is not the case for DL3

 

I think Abel didn't care at this level, he just releasing music for music, he already broke all the charts so I doubt he care anymore.

 

 

 

 

Dua a pop queen

The song is so good 🔥

No offense, but Applause song and mv were way more explosive and exciting. Comparing Houdini to that does it no favors.

 

Go back and watch Applause, we took it for granted 

it's true. Applause was soooo explosive and it progressively gets bigger, better and more exciting towards the end. 

Houdini is still good. However, it's still just coasting through....

When she first came out I never would’ve thought she would be the one to show range, growth and versatility like that. Legend! :clap3:

I'm getting scared slightly and I don't want to be mean. 

 

I think the only reason people are saying it sounds like Fartpop is because this is what they expected. 

 

Let's not compare this to that and flood this thread with it. 

 

This is a masterpiece for what she was going for and she actually pulled it off. 

Edited by Shaner69

Yeah, it feels like there's something missing on the first and second verse which makes and it sounds like one of those Euro-dance songs that peak at like #37 in the USA.
She keeps delivering and there's growth to her music which is what matters at the end. :clap3:

Why is "Houdini" a vocative on the banner ("Catch me or I go, Houdini")? I thought she means that she's about to go houdini (disappear) - no comma.

This will be a huge hit in Europe but I think it will only perform moderate in the US tbh. It doesnt have a very american sound to it

Houdini is trending at #27 in the US on X.

I don't recall any of Dua's singles released on a Thursday trending on the main chart at X before.:jonny5:

 

 

It gets better with each listen, from a 6 to an 8 already. My main issue… that addictive synth hook in the final chorus… why isn’t it throughout the song??
