And where exactly are the “psychedelic” elements you speak of? This is a down the middle pop song with a couple synths and a little cute guitar line at the end. And that FINE.

 

More of the same for Dua isn’t a bad thing, like you said. She found her lane. But let’s not pretend it’s anything vaguely daring or experimental. 

Name me at least 5 songs that are the same as this one and were released recently, last 2 years or so.

Im more than happy if Dua gives all full album of electro-dance-pop album

It’s funny because if I hadn’t seen the credits I never would have known. It’s very tame for both producers standards. Hope the rest of the project isn’t as watered down. I understand why they’d choose a very safe lead tho for sure 

First thing my friends and I said when she posted the teasers is that we didn't even need to know the credits because the producers sound was all over it

The DSN video is an atrocity. They should have just released a 3 minute video of her gyrating in a chair with beauty shots like the teaser video.  And her hair looks tragic 

 

the girls always wanting a “storyline”, well sweaty there’s your storyline, some tacky cheap mess. 
 

“Houdini” cannot relate, a simple slay. 

[LCTV]

that mashup is good until after she says houdini. everything else doesnt match the instrumental lol

[Solaria]

Houdini is definitely her best lead, the sound off an artist truly coming into her own

I genuinely do not understand the ‘it sounds the same’ criticism.

 

Let’s just go out on a limb here and say the entire album is still dance-pop but with psychdelic influences. Why is that labelled as a bad thing? So many artists have had relatively the same sound for their first three projects and still managed to succeed. Taylor had three pop albums in a row and they all smashed. Madonna had three dance-pop albums in a row, all smashed. Janet had three albums with New jack swing plastered across them, all smashed. And most of them were also received well critically, whether it was during their time or retrospectively.

 

I celebrate artistic reinvention like no other but lets not act as if most artists didn’t really start getting into their artistic peak later in their career. There’s still time for Dua to completely let go of dance music later in her career. 

Girl you didn’t need to write such a long essay haha. Some people just don’t like the song…

She is stable on the daily artist chart on Spotify which means Houdini is stable too
