Dua Lipa released the video for "Houdini"

Rumors of working with Tame Impala are true!

Dua Lipa has released a new track and video “Houdini”. Previously, the singer spoke about experiments with psychedelia in the 1970s - and this can be heard in the song, although in general Lipa remained within the framework of pop music.

Numerous rumors about collaboration between Dua Lipa and the psychedelic project Tame Impala were also confirmed. "Houdini" was co-written and produced by Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker. Danny L Harle, who worked on indie artist Caroline Polachek's last two albums, “Pang” (2019) and “Desire, I Want to Turn Into You” (2023), also contributed to the song.

In the "Houdini" video, Dua Lipa appears in a new look with red hair - and her backup dancers also have red hair. The video was directed by Manu Cossu, who has collaborated with Skrillex and Gesaffelstein.

Here's what Dua Lipa herself had to say about “Houdini”:

“Houdini is about that very feeling when it’s four in the morning. The night is coming to an end, you’re a little sweaty, but you don’t want the party to end.”

Lipa noted:

“This track is about the lightest and most liberating elements of my loneliness. "Houdini" is quite tongue-in-cheek: its main message is whether someone is truly worthy of my attention or whether I will end up ignoring them."

"Houdini" is the first single from Dua Lipa's upcoming third album, due out in 2024. The title and exact release date have not yet been announced, but the singer shared some details:

“Most of the album was written in positive times of absolute chaos. Then I moved through the world with ease and optimism, regardless of the outcome.”

Dua Lipa's future album will be her first studio work in four years: the singer's latest album, Future Nostalgia, was released in March 2020. Mark Ronson, a renowned music producer, has already listened to Dua Lipa's new material and described it as "incredible . "
