Spoiler

illusion

 

I been known to miss a red flag

I been known to put my lover on a pedestal

In the end those things just don't last

And it's time I take my rose colored glasses off

I already know your type

Telling me the things I like

Trying make me yours for life

Taking me for a ride

I already know your type

Think you can play your cards right

Don't you know I could do this dance all night?

Oooh whatcha doing?

Don't know who you think that you're confusing, I be like

Ooh, it's amusing

You think I'm gonna fall for an illusion

Was a time when that **** might have worked

Was a time when I just threw a match and let it burn

Now I'm grown I know what I deserve

I still like dancing with the lessons I already learned

I already know your type

Telling me the things I like

Trying make me yours for life

Taking me for a ride

I already know your type

Think you can play your cards right

Don't you know I could do this dance all night?

Oooh whatcha doing?

Don't know who you think that you're confusing, I be like

Ooh, it's amusing

You think I'm gonna fall for an illusion

Illusion, I really like the way you're moving

Yeah I just wanna dance with the illusion

Yeah I just wanna dance with

Yeah I just wanna dance with

I could dance all night

Oooh whatcha doing?

Don't know who you think that you're confusing, I be like

Ooh, it's amusing

You think I'm gonna fall for an illusion

Oooh whatcha doing?

Don't know who you think that you're confusing, I be like

Ooh, it's amusing

You think I'm gonna fall for an illusion

I don't have the message anymore but I saved all songs lyrics

Illusion doesn't sound like a hit...

 

She needs to keep pushing for Training Season fr

It does sound like a European smasha though but I agree that it has US flop written all over it.

do we know if it's an official or promo single?

If anyone wants to use the cover:

Sounds very intriguing (I love the darker sound) but it is absolutely NOT a hit lol.

Also ...I know some of yall don't care but her lyrical output needs to get better this era...FN had some standout lyrics in almost every song (even if they were quirky or funny etc...it still stood out). So far the lyrics on Houdini, Training Season and possible Illusion sound so damn faceless...it feels like chatGPT wrote them....idk how to explain it.

I think it's just a promotional single

i think houdini has the best lyrics by far. the "i come and i go / catch me or i go houdini" are a highlight

the extended version also has the added bridge which i think has better lyrics than anything in training season

"Weave the ceilin' from tomorrow
Free the people from daylight
All the plans go out the window
When we're out this late at night"

 

i feel like training season is kind of her worst attempt at a bop she's made so far (not counting any collabs)

the single cover is also a bit ugly. i hate that fvckass filter that the tour poster also has :rip: why not choose one of the pictures from that same set where she was in the water with the bleached brows

Illusion sounds like a 10/10 to me.

it's not a filter it's motion blur in the night pics, i think it's an aesthetic they're going for and tbh i think it actually works well with the water (it just takes me back to highschool bc every classmate i knew who had a camera did a photoshoot like this bc all u need is a good camera and the night mode to get pics that look like this :rip:)

On one side im super excited on the other i wanted her to release the 3rd single WITH the album or at least a week before 

 

At this point when the album comes we will have only 8 new songs 

Just don't listen to it. That's what I've been doing. I won't listen to any of the singles until the album drops.

Oh I didn't know there was a whole 30 sec preview snippet for illusion… now I know where yall are coming from… it's extremely underwhelming, what's going on??? I know Dua is capable of so much better than this, and there's only 8 more tracks left???

This is shaping up to be one of my favorite albums of all time holy **** :jonny5:Fun BOPS are something the pop girls have FAILED to deliver this year. This was supposed to be a year for the gays and only Charli and Dua are delivering on that front for me. Illusion sounds so fun and like Hallucinate (decent song) but so much better. I get Daft Punk One More Time teas from the snippet. I can see myself performing this in my room off an edible. Houdini and Training Season are stellar. She's taking it for me. I have no concerns.

 

I've let go of wanting a FN sized era. Houdini and Training Season are moderate hits, and Illusion probably will be too. I'm happy she's not chasing hits and she decided to make happy music just like she wanted again. It's so much better for an artist to release a body of work they believe in rather than chase hits, that literally never goes well. Once an artist loses their conviction and belief in their art, it all falls apart FAST.

Umm get taste, Dua Lipa :biblionny:

Imo Training Season is not a bad track per se, it's just that they released the worst version of it.

Have other versions L-worded because I've only heard the official track?

Her label / team didn't expect how Houdini and Training Season performed the way they did, so now

they're hoping new single on April 11 will do better.

 

The new single is produced by the same team but is the most reminiscent to the uptempo dance pop sound of Future Nostalgia. 

;)

All of the hate Illusion is receiving!! What is happening?! 
 

TBH I am not really feeling the snippet. I hope it grows on me. I did not like Houdini at all when it was release so I guess there is hope. 
 

Training Season is still her best song :alexz:

Cool. Does it have any other psychedelic parts we haven't heard yet?

Nope, but we got the Extended one and a couple of live performances which are different from the studio version

right after motomami came out rosalia did an interview saying that she went through each song multiple times to take out layers and stems because she wanted a minimalistic approach. seeing the art direction this era i wonder if she did the same
