Finally got the chance to watch this and listen to the full song….

this is absolutely going to flop almost everywhere and that's fine. The song is at least sonically interesting to some extent but my gosh can the lyrics this era get any more faceless / AI generated sounding? Like wth Dua…come on. 
mv is gorgeous but the dance sequence is weaker than her live performances and choreo. Wish they immortalized her iconic DSN or Training Season choreos in mv format instead…oh well. 
 

Training Season had more personality than this, ouh her team is scrambling rn

been playing this nonstop since yesterday

I don't think i've been so obsessed with a song in a long time as i've been with Illusion. It's such an earworm. Top 3 in Dua's discography, easily. 

 

 

Sis you're somewhat interesting even if some takes are not it kdkdjsjsj 

Kinda hope Dua calls up her buddy SG Lewis to remix this, this isn't the song to make acoustic, this is the perfect song to remix for the clubs

They dissing but I still have a lot of hopes from this album especially Happy For You, Dudu you better serve for the album!

 

this album will be one for the books. I trust her.

She eats so hard this album cycle

Houdini and Training Season are 10/10 bops, this is so bland 

To the gay who got this to play during New Zealand's biggest rugby match this weekend: I hope Dua gives you a raise because that was a slay  

i listened to this and then hallucinate and damn the 2 are good but everything from her last era had this magic spark , the hooks were just on point.

This and all of her singles this era lack the "it" factor her last singles had 

 

Despite minor production changes I would do on all three singles so far (but mostly on anything being released lately lol)

 

For me its 3/3 ... if the remaining 8 tracks will be on the level of H,TS and I, I will be more than satisfied

 

after watching the video i'm addicted to it

Illusion might end up being my favourite song of hers. I've been playing nonstop since yesterday. Utterly addictive. That production is heaven.

It's grown on me over day I suppose, only excellence this era so far

 

Putting aside the fact that this song is bland and generic as hell, does anyone think that the song production sounds kinda low quality and not crisp like her other songs or is it just me?

I do. I think it's due to the crispness of the first two offerings.

No, next

I love every song she has dropped this era. I can hear the evolution of her sound but it was clearly """""oversold"""""" 

 

Like "it's a departure from the disco of FN".... I mean what?!? 

so this is not a single right? or not yet? Im so confused tbh. I think it might be a promotional single like FN was

4M Illusion debut??

Wasn't it sent to US radio? And the big budget mv, I would definitely say this is a single

 

The album will probably not come with another single then
