and used to draw a general conclusion about her appeal. which is clearly not tied to any of the things it alleges she lacks

well apparently not given her success, but that doesn't make her any less of an indistinct presence

yeah I guess I just don't see why there was ever enough of an expectation of one to warrant an entire article about it lol

Lipa’s entire appeal (on this album cycle anyway) is as an empty vessel / blank canvas upon which a memory-idealisation of the more palatable parts of 80s-to-00s dance pop are projected. There’s nothing wrong with that. She might end up with a stronger character / performance concept in future, but criticising her for not having one misses the point here imho. It’s something Dannii Minogue understood very well - to be a successful club diva, your personality can’t overpower the sacred space of the club. It would be akin to a priest’s personality attempting to overpower the architecture of the Cathedral. It benefits neither the performer nor the environment.

Dua Lipa is just “do a leap” in an Italian accent

Her real name is Dua Lipa. Surely most know this by now but can’t miss the chance for someone to go “wait what”

When I was twelve I met an Albanian guy playing Halo who would always complain about how hard being Albanian was and you know what? I think I’m starting to get it.

Houdini huh.

Produced with Tame Impala's Kevin Parker huh.

I kinda like where this is going.

But I liked Houdini.

I for one can’t wait. I gave this one a spin on Saturday night and it was as good as ever.

it's not a bad track, but I find it has less charm than most of this album. I don't mind the slightly different identity it's deviating to but gotta see what's done with it on longer format!

I feel like this album works well in spite of a lack of charm from Dua

Houdini sucks. She hasn't made a good track since "I Don't Give A Fuck"
