Dua said making Illusion was the ‘eureka moment' of creating the album. It includes live drums and synths and a big music breakdown by Kevin and Danny which she describes as ‘the big dance moment' :jonny5:

I recall in past interviews she mentioned that there was one song that shifted the direction of the album and that is was not out yet. Could Illusion be that song? 
 

Third Single Illusion? :duca:

I don't like that she will probably do the Glastonbury show… before Glastonbury

Glastonbury is not an exclusive concerts, she is not doing a different show for Glastonbury and all the other 4 festivals + these solo dates. Be for real

allegedly  "Illusion" was meant to be first single and apparently she is in Barcelona shooting something this week

 

 

 

I was right about Barcelona, so lets see about "Ilusion" even I think maybe use some of Ian produced track could be good test to see if US market will react differently to it

:eek: it was supposed to be the first single

 

I can remember she scrambled the songs icons on Spotify, Which looked like an illusion. I wonder if that was the apart of the initial intention :jonny:

in a way dua is an inspiration for all of us, i love her passion for maintaining the work-life balance :suburban: at the end of the day life is about vibing and hanging out, NOT work :gaycat1:

illusion is coming :jonny2:

Since we have only 11 songs , i hope we get to hear all 9 new songs when the album comes out 

 

I prefer to get a very small teaser of the 3rd single a couple of days before the album drops

It mentions that it has Danny's voice as part of the instrumental. I am not sure what to expect :jonny:

I have to say that Houdini really is THAT ***** for me 

 

I am a huge Physical / Love Again stan and she managed to bring my excitement for a song to the same level with this one 

 

Training Season on the other hand had a similar effect Break My Heart did . I like it , i enjoy it but thats it

couldn't agree more. houdini is the clear smash hit, for me at least. good production, good lyrics and even the MV is better :coffee2:

Has anyone received their code for the presale ?

i'm just finding out people don't like training season, it's probably one of my favorite releases of the year so far and made me more excited for the album, i preordered the vinyl the second it was announced

I have a feeling Houdini will be top 3-5 on the album (it's literally my 2nd fave song ever that she's done so..) but most songs will be better than Training Season, which I also love :jonnycat:

 

SO excited for Illusion

People don't like it cause it “underperformed"

 

Wait for the switching when the album releases like what happened with yes, and

I prefer "Training Season" over "Houdini" mostly cause of the structure, it has proper verse, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge etc.

 

"Houdini" is great but to me it feels like it missing something.

 

But both are great songs and I hope rest of the album will be same or even better

Training Season is my favorite song from Dua ever. I hope it will pick up around album release like you mentioned! It should near top 10 on US pop radio around that time.

Don't listen to the haters! As long as you enjoy it is all that matters.

Do you guys think theres gonna be a summer vibe to the album as the new theme with the imagery suggests? i would LOVE a psychedelic beachy vibe.

yeah the gp is always late with her

 

also being a female in the industry is probably hard as hell because people are expecting them to reinvent themselves every era, also when she released FN and had all that success it adds to the pressure of matching or exceeding those numbers which is just impossible while trying to grow and take risks, like it's not all about the charts

When I listen to Houdini I think it's better than TS but when I listen to TS I think it's better than Houdini. Quality I guess.
