Baby... the extended version is a mess. These unmixed vocals that sound like they were recorded on a 1997 Walkman in a bathtub, lyrics about 'freeing the people' that make no sense in the context of the rest of the track? 

 

I'm forgetting this ever happened and sticking with the OG. 

yeah, confusing and clunky. i like the intro but that's about it. the OG still slaps :jamming:

Even if the song doesn’t become a hit in the US at least it will do well globally in the long run. It already debuted very high in most global markets. One cool thing about the FN singles run was that she releases lots of songs just to certain markets and she had hits that smashed intensely in some markets and underperformed in others etc. I hope they take on that approach with DL3. Maybe the 2nd single will be the big US hot and maybe not? And who cares lol. Dua is a global artist. She’ll smash in some markets always

Me and my 50yo mom were singing some portuguese folk singer old hits that marked my childood. She started karaoking, asked me to Karaoke something, I picked Don't Start Now.

She told me to put the song on to compare. Then asked me if Dua Lipa was the one I was crazy about some weeks ago over a new song. Said yes, played it, and she mockingly started to mimic the coreography having the time of her life and now she can't get Houdini out of her head :cupid:

 

Oh Dua, the memory-maker you are :WAP:

I love this song and I love the extended even more... I get why people don't like it but I actually enjoy the "unfinished" aspect of it... it feels like a live in LA cut and I wish more artists would release stuff like that more often.

Now some people complain Houdini sounds alike FN tracks, I don't want to even know what would they say if miss dula released TS as the lead.

Maybe they were switched because Houdini is a bigger sound departure from FN. 

 

I am very curious about training season :duca:

 

Which do you prefer Houdini or Training season?

This song came up on the radio and my mom asked “is this Dua Lipa”. The soccer mom market is waking up to this song. She may be the next Pink!

I would LIVE for it.

she’s sick for not dropping the title track promo single yet

First time i heard the extended i was like wtf is that 

It felt more like a demo version rather than an extended 

 

But after a couple of listens , i love it even though i still believe it sounds a bit like a demo

 

 

I agree with what i read above that the extra verse sounds a bit out of place , maybe if it was twice in the song it could fit more ( reminds me so much of an Artpop song )

Have you heard any other tracks from DL3 apart from TS and H?

Idc if Training Season sounds like FN, as long as it’s good.

 

Houdini still sounds nothing like a FN track to me :rip: I feel like she’d have to do a trap song to beat the allegations atp
