    Can confirm. I was walking in the hood trenches and this scary guy standing there menacingly stopped me and said, “Dua Lipa has been seen going to the studio with Rosalia.”

    My favorite part of “Houdini” is when those synths really kick in during the bridge leading into the last chorus. It’s extremely entrancing, probably due to Kevin Parker.

    Dua took Rihanna's lane a while ago. She's in charge of the bangers now, and rarely disappoints :ehh:

    Saw a picture of her in the studio with Kevin Parker, this album might actually go crazy.

    If you like this new song I’m sure you’ll like her last album Future Nostalgia if you’re ever bored and need some good pop to listen to. She looks amazing no matter what, but yeah the red hair is nice. Red is my fav color:emoji_heart_eyes:

    I don't think it's experimental or gay enough to be your bag tbh

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/monica...m-and-her-new-single-houdini/?sh=5a5e0e5c3259

    A few takeaways from this Forbes article about the album:
    • It will be more personal and have a lyrical theme of some sort
    • It will be different sonically, but not enough to alienate her fanbase
    • Dua worked with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker and producers from her last album
    • It will be inspired by 1970s-era psychedelia
    • It will be released in 2024

    Yeah I agree I thought it sounded uninspired at first, but after hearing it a few times I realised it’s catchy as h---.

    Yeah at first I thought it sounded too much like her previous album but then it grew on me and I really like it. And if that’s what she’s doing for a soundtrack song, I can’t wait to see what she does for her actual album

    I'll wait to hear the single. Too many disappointments lately :waynedown:

    Future Nostalgia was good though :emoji_thumbsup:

    Can’t wait to see how/if she evolves her sound and song topics. I wonder if the sound will be more throwbacks or if it will be something more modern. Either way I just heard her song “Physical” yesterday and it still goes hard. I also can’t wait for the music videos since Dua always has nice music videos and she is stunning
