She dyed her hair, did a radio tour, and went on a bunch of talk shows to talk about Houdini. - Hearing her say Burbon then do the American accent was hilarious This was fun! I love her
djcalpal Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 Are we... getting any real promo? Or is she saving all the US and UK talk show performances for album release? This strategy is extremely perplexing. She dropped the track then went houdini on us.
MaxMartin Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 This era feels reductive... like 0 excitement or anticipation

It’s not even charting on US Spotify. A comeback would be unachievable at this point and if it does, it’ll be clear it’s manufactured by her team and not organic. Still excited for the album tho. Although I don’t find myself listening to Houdini anymore, I do bop if I hear it out and about and I am still excited to see what the rest of the album has to offer. But to witness the masterclass that FN was and to see how this new era is being handled, it’s very disappointing. Not from Dua’s side, but from her team. They suck.
Cqmerqn Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 Releasing in November was a terrible mistake. I know it worked for DSN, but that was a one off.
Jonathan Cruz Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 Honestly I really wanna know the point of releasing this in November knowing da** well that they would be busy campaigning for DTN until February... This song deserved better, but it's a bop nonetheless 1
brokee Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 I like this song more than I did before. I listen to it every day especially the extended edit

Screw them, hopefully she gives us more quality tracks like Houdini Jack's song is not awful Try to be a bit objective here plz Houdini is a gay bop while Jack's is an earworm to the GP and especially to str8 muscled tiktokers with a great amount of followers. It makes sense what is happening
SayIt Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 Is Houdini really flopping or are people just saying that. It can still rebound after the holidays?
mrpartyrocker Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 I mean it clearly means it won’t be a smash probably not even close to DTN. Still looking forward to her new album.

Relampago. Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 The fact they’re not even moving at all or trying to save the era whatsoever is certainly worrying. However, I think that they realize Houdini is unsalvageable and will lay low for a bit until they re-launch the era next year. Basically cutting their losses and trying again when there’s less obstacles like Christmas and Jack Harlow.

True but Houdini won't be a single for 10 months i imagine ... well its Dua you never know Anyways Levitating was very GP friendly, Houdini is not and thats the reality I dont care if she has smash after smash as long as the quality stays there The truth is Houdini could have been a bit bigger if she would have performed it a couple of times but ...
makeme Posted December 14, 2023 Posted December 14, 2023 I don't want an era re launch or anything and I really hope the label doesn't make her re work the album. I hope she starts teasing the album in January.
QueenofCopyPaste Posted December 14, 2023 Posted December 14, 2023 HOUDINI is about her ex Ricky Gervais, hence the rush release
NostalgiawithDua Posted December 14, 2023 Posted December 14, 2023 This era reminds me so much of Dangerous Woman, Focus was supposed to be the big lead single but was critically panned and in same universe as her previous work, though Houdini is way better, I do feel it might not be the main track of the album like DSN was, hope she has Title Track, Into You, Side to side in her bag…
