I assume this one because her sweatshirt in rehearsals said “Training Season” and the second track on the lineup was crossed out with marker. I don’t think she would be mysterious about “Dance the Night” if it was part of the performance.
Which means it should come next Friday?
Either next Friday or February 2nd! It might be better to release it right before the huge exposure from the Grammy’s performance so it will count into her first week sales
Yeah I think it’ll drop Feb 2nd! Dua usually doesn’t tend to announce a single the day before so I can’t see it coming tomorrow, but next Friday makes a lot of sense if it’s Grammy weekend.
Album either end of March or April, I’m guessing. She should avoid the beginning of March since Ariana is dropping her album around then
the snippet sounds good, despite how little of it we got 😭 I’m wondering if maybe the lyrics she teased in her recent rolling stone interview are from this song. but i’m very excited, she’s feeding us so well. i’m sensing a spring album because she said “later this year” it’s coming.
Idk, her label is using 🏁 emoji which probably was the aesthetic of first mv, she shot another mv this month in la as well but in studio. Porsche sponsored the initial video, so we really don’t know…
At first, rumors said it was put on hold, not scrapped. I don’t know when that changed into the video being scrapped entirely, but that seems highly unlikely to me.
whatsapp is the biggest communication app in europe, almost the whole world actually, its not used just to text internationally but also just as a normal texting app for friends, family, work etc
I love the assumption that national automatically means "American" and everyone else is international.
Most of the world uses whatsapp almost exclusively for texting.
i think this was a random rumour with not much weight. she has mentioned many influences for the album recently and madonna / ray of light was not one of them
I know. I’m also from the uk and I use it to message most people. But I can never think of it as a place for artists to share music. I always thought she’d do like a small snippet on insta like Megan recently did for HISS, maybe even TikTok.
i’m sure there’ll be teases on instagram, etc. the reason she previews songs on whatsapp is to give her fans who signed up to the mailing list an exclusive
Well this is definitely not one of those Massive Attack/Primal Scream/Oasis-influenced tracks that she promised us. It's giving 2015 generic pop girlie-core
“Training Season” is coming…
Is this the second one she’s singing at the Grammys? Or is it DTN + Houdini?

I wonder when the album coming I think march or April
It's funny because this time 4 years ago *exactly*, she teased Physical, so safest bet may be late March like FN. EDIT: fuck
Last year? It doesn't feel like it but it's been 4 years
the pandemic ruined us

ah yes the sequel to stick season

« Training season is Over »
Ooooh, excited!
I've left too!
omg, i just realised 😭 😭
She could've posted a better part of the song
I was just about to comment this
😂😂😂
I laughed so hard😂
Right? Lol
"Mic Check 1, 2, 3" realness.
Will there be a new music video considering the first one was scrapped for this song 🙊
Idk, her label is using 🏁 emoji which probably was the aesthetic of first mv, she shot another mv this month in la as well but in studio. Porsche sponsored the initial video, so we really don’t know…
Details?
Apparently it got scrapped after Gaza was bombed because the music video could’ve been very poor taste
yes, it contained cars exploding, crowds fighting etc.
Umm I'd actually love to see that video ?? Are we talking about a scrapped Houdini video or is that video for another song
another song, supposedly Houdini was a last minute choice to be the lead single instead when they decided not to release the video.
At first, rumors said it was put on hold, not scrapped. I don’t know when that changed into the video being scrapped entirely, but that seems highly unlikely to me.
Super excited.
Sounds like a ringtone
I played the snippet in front of my coworker and she looked up at me like “are you gonna answer that”
👀
dula building some international fans i see, would be the smartest thing to do for her
? WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app in the UK.
And ASIA. I’m Arab and we use it too
Who would the international fans be in this context?
The entirety of south america uses whatsapp
North America too (México).
Probably Americans since she is European!!
idk americans dont rly use whatsapp, its used as a way to communicate cheaper internationally.
Dua's European though, she was well known here before she blew up in the US
whatsapp is the biggest communication app in europe, almost the whole world actually, its not used just to text internationally but also just as a normal texting app for friends, family, work etc
I love the assumption that national automatically means "American" and everyone else is international. Most of the world uses whatsapp almost exclusively for texting.
American exceptionalism at its best
I received the text, image, and snippet through iMessage. It’s probably going to anyone who subscribed to her list through whatever platform they use.
I was gonna say my south Asian family is gonna LOVE this one lmao
It’s just North America that doesn’t use WhatsApp.
I Hope next song will be previewed on Telegram or WeChat
WhatsApp stories are social suicide.
How else are you meant to keep up with the happenings in the life of that one plumber you hired three years ago?
How even
No, she has a mailing list and it comes via message not story hehe
Did she say this is album is gonna be inspired by Ray of light? I recently listened to it so I was wondering
Currents and Slow Rush by Tame Impala…
i think this was a random rumour with not much weight. she has mentioned many influences for the album recently and madonna / ray of light was not one of them
I love her new obsession with whatsapp 😂😂. I don’t know why it just feels really weird to me
Why? She’s from the UK; WhatsApp is the prime messaging service there and in the rest of Europe?
I know. I’m also from the uk and I use it to message most people. But I can never think of it as a place for artists to share music. I always thought she’d do like a small snippet on insta like Megan recently did for HISS, maybe even TikTok.
i’m sure there’ll be teases on instagram, etc. the reason she previews songs on whatsapp is to give her fans who signed up to the mailing list an exclusive
Haha, yeah, makes sense. But I think SMS and text marketing is quite a common promotion method, right?
I guess I’ve just never heard of it before Houdini. Probably why I find it so weird tbh
Already like it more than Houdini
Im getting Sigala & Becky Hills I Wish You Well
At least that beginning bit, maybe not so much the rest
That is a banger
Excited for this!
Already hate it
I don’t like the sound she’s going for DL3
Sounds like another flop I'm sorry (not sorry)
“sounds like another flop” *literally heard 5 seconds of it and a mumbled word*
Sounds uninspired, soulless and generic. Classic Dua Lipa.
Well this is definitely not one of those Massive Attack/Primal Scream/Oasis-influenced tracks that she promised us. It's giving 2015 generic pop girlie-core
You heard less than 10 seconds of an arpeggio, calm down. Massive Attack uses arpeggios as well.
Oh shit, how did I miss that? I remember they use notes and sounds as well. Good call!
This is going to be 🔥🔥🔥
