With that, Dua Lipa gives her phone to Richard so he can be the first to listen “ Houdini ”, and the employees of BBC Radio 1 celebrate the event with a congratulatory banner.
“ Excellent “, Richard said of ” Houdini » after his surprise listening. “ It would be impossible not to love it… Pleasant, bouncy. Yes, I would dance to this song. »
The artist replied: “ This is a perfect review. »
The rest of the world was able to discover “ Houdini » from Thursday evening. Last August, Dua Lipa confirmed to the magazine New York Times that a new album (the sequel to Future Nostalgia, released in 2020) was in the works, which she described as “ 1970s psychedelia “.
