Nobody checks for videos like that anymore and choreo videos are good in parties and have dancers practicing and following the choreo. song is already a hit in this measure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me a bit of Thriller at times. Not Dua delivering a future Halloween playlist staple. It’s the Italo Disco influence and synths i live for it Edited November 10, 2023 by liquiddiamonds 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starsailor Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 The only person who probably still spends tons of money on music videos is Taylor Swift, and she doesn’t even need any of them lol (and the videos are all choices, like Karma). I loved the dynamic of Houdini video. Very fun to watch and people probably will emulate it a lot on Tik Tok, which is part of the success formula of a song today.

Frozen99 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 the song is awesome, i love the synths! idk where ppl get disco from, it's synth-pop. "Maybe you could be the one to make me stay-y-y-y-y" the stay's at the end are giving me COADF madge voice on the other hand, the video is atrocious, doesn't fit the song at all, feels like a video for a 3rd/4th single (which is an offense to love again whose video is great). i'd have rather seen her in a 1920s setting in a hotel, disappearing while dating or sth. i guess a magician theme would've been too on the nose but this low-budget hung up vid isn't doing it for me.

DiamondHeart Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Song is very good, and will be even better with repeated listens. Cannot wait for the album, hope we'll know soon when it's coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WitnessOblivia Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 The song is so fantastic. It's still getting better after every listen The MV is cute, especially the last minute. Ofc I would've preferred a MV with a storyline, but it's fine really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
