"Houdini" is a song by English-Albanian singer Dua Lipa. It was released on 10 November 2023 as the lead single from Lipa's upcoming third studio album.[7] "Houdini" was produced by Danny L Harle and Kevin Parker.[8] Lipa co-wrote the song with Harle, Parker, Caroline Ailin and Tobias Jesso Jr.[9] "Houdini" was met with positive reviews from music critics. Commercially, it peaked at number one in several countries including Belgium, and topped the US Dance/Electronic Songs chart. The single reached number two in the United Kingdom and top 10 in various countries, including Canada, Australia, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland and France. On the US Billboard Hot 100, "Houdini" peaked at number 11.

Background

Earlier in 2023, Lipa announced her upcoming third studio album would be released sometime in 2024 with a new sound that sees her moving away from the disco sound of Future Nostalgia (2020), embracing more of 1970s-era psychedelia.[10] After having deleted all of her Instagram posts in October 2023, Lipa posted a picture of herself with red hair captioned "miss me?".[11] On 27 October, she shared a close-up picture of a key between her teeth, accompanied by the phrase "catch me or I go".[12] In anticipation of the song, Lipa replaced the cover art of her previous albums with kaleidoscopic versions on streaming services.[13]

Lipa posted a teaser of the song on her social media on 31 October 2023, hinting at the song title in the post.[14] A rearranged combination of numbers would spell out the title "Houdini",[15] named after escape artist Harry Houdini.[16] Fans of Lipa also drew parallels to English singer Kate Bush's 1982 song of the same name, who also references Houdini by presenting a key in her mouth on the cover of her album The Dreaming (1982).[17]

Critical reception

"Houdini" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Helen Brown from The Independent gave the song five out of five stars, mentioning that although "there's some daftness in the lyrics, (...) pop is no place for pedantry —especially not when it comes to a singer whose lockdown hit, 'Levitating', saw her laughing in the face of gravity".[18]

Rhian Daly from NME gave the song four out of five stars, writing that "while she might be switching up her sonic palette, there's one thing you can rely on Dua to be consistent with —giving us confidence-filled bops that help us unlock the best versions of ourselves, even if just for three minutes".[19]

Betsy Reed from The Guardian also gave the song four out of five stars, stating that "it's ferociously catchy without being bludgeoning, and does a more convincing job of combining her appreciation for vintage sonics with diamond-tooled pop songwriting than Future Nostalgia did. For Lipa, being a pop star clearly is still the main event, and 'Houdini' suggests no threat to her dominance".[20]

Writing for Clash, Robin Murray said that the song is "Dua Lipa doing what she does best —a gleaming, sun-drenched pop star who yearns to dominate huge spaces."[21] Writing for Pitchfork, Shaad D'Souza mentioned that the song "doesn't reinvent the wheel: Lipa taunts a man into proving he deserves her attention, squarely in the brazen, invulnerable Future Nostalgia mode. But production from Kevin Parker and Danny L Harle provides some of the drive and loony spark that was missing from Lipa's club tracks thus far".[22]

Music video

The music video for "Houdini" was directed by Manu Cossu and released alongside the song. It is set in a dance studio, where a redheaded Lipa performs a choreography with a group of redheaded male dancers.[25][26] According to Vogue, the video appears to be a reference to the video for "Hung Up" (2005) by Madonna.[3]
