Dua Lipa Says ‘Houdini’ Is One of 97 Songs She Wrote For Her New Album | The Breakdown

- Dua Lipa had to postpone her Future Nostalgia tour three times, but once she got on the road, inspiration for new music came to her quickly. In fact, she began writing her latest song, “Houdini,” while she was on tour, she tells Rolling Stone for the latest episode of “The Breakdown.”
Lipa returned to London’s 5DB, where she wrote a lot of her upcoming third album, to tell the story of how “Houdini” was put together. She explains that she had been spending time in Los Angeles, where Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker invited her to his home studio.
“Kevin was on the computer, and he was working on the monitors…and he just played a track,” Lipa recalls. The sound was the riff that launches the single, which made her feel “instantly inspired.” The “essence” of the track was born in the first two hours of hearing that riff, and the chorus quickly took shape with the help of Caroline Ailin and Tobias Jesso Jr.
During a different session back in London with Danny L Harle, Parker had been struck with the idea for the song’s middle eight, which changes the chords and tempo before escalating into a synth solo. It helped bring together the dark, clubby euphoria that Lipa wanted out of “Houdini.” She shares that there’s a secret extended club mix that builds out the psychedelic outro that she hopes to release in the future.

This is one of the reasons Dua is on fire. The Beatles used to write way too many songs for one record & then have fun picking which track goes where with thier producer Gerorge Martin. This interview gives me deja vibes of Anthology days. Thanks Rolling Stone
Most artists do this
i love dua but this is not a unique phenomenon
@@noahsabadish3812 Loki Dokee! I'm not actually aware of many artists these days that exist this behavior of love toward their particular craft, however, I appreciate your comment! Blessed be, friend! Mtfbwy, always
You would be surprised how many big Artist don’t write even half of their discography, majority actually
Beatles music is fundamental for pop songwriting
Honestly, a lot of people act like she is not involved in her music. Really cool to see her talking about it, seems like she very much has a say in the stuff she releases
I think it’s because she’s not involved in everything. There are some songwriters that are “buyed out” of credits and have a secrecy contract about it. Also she was not involved in making the song that made her famous, “new rules”. She is really talented, though. Much of the music industry works that way on this level.
Muito bom saber do trabalho da construção e vê o produto final tão bom. Parabéns!
@@Theyarehereyesterday She may not have been involved in New rules but she wrote the song that got her signed to a label -Hotter then Hell. She's been in an around music her whole life. Watch ruclips.net/video/cUy9AbXzF2w/видео.html
And ruclips.net/video/zxZPR4jxOM4/видео.html
Most music is collaborative. Even David Bowie used teams of session musicians to write music and collaborated with John Lennon and Queen. It's only gross when some pop singer takes sole credit for his/her music even though there's like 10 people who got song writing credits on all their songs.
which is a little concerning because she has multiple tracks where the melodies blatantly rip off other songs. (i still love her)
she keeps making bop after bop, this woman can truly never disappoint me.
cough „Good in bed” cough, „cough „New rules” cough
For me the Dua Lipa started with „Electricity”
Let's not pretend she doesn't have a massive team of writters and producers to help her out.
🎉Congratulations on new music 🎶 🎵 Never tire of Dance the Night Away ❤💃
@@NicolasCharly4 people isnt really a lot
I've been a fan of Dua Lipa since her 2017 debut studio album, and I love watching her growth and evolution. As an independent artist/singer/songwriter, this is really inspiring to see. I also loved when she talked about her confidence now vs. before when taking more of a lead in the songwriting process. It's so relatable, and I hope that I can grow in that way too. Can't wait to listen to the new album!
same!! i remember going to her concert in 2018 it was still one of the best concerts ive ever been to
Same! she's the best!!
Really? You take your inspiration from other artists songs not from your own life experience? Just happened to me once with the smash hit by Azelia Banks "212" ...anyways: Keep on as an independent artist! One day maybe we'll make it!🦾
The backstory to 'Houdini' I find so fascinating. Love learning about her process for making music.
I feel like this interview was the best one she has done. I don't know if it was the interviewer, but Dua really opened up and the whole interview was just so much more interesting.
TOURING = PRACTICE + VOICE DEVELOPMENT
Keep the artist in you dua .. u're saving POP culture
The new album is going to be iconic! And so is Houdini!
Houdini has been on repeat!
Me too this song is iconic
I was hoping a Debut a top billboard hot 100, but didn't quite make it.
@@MeradoPacheco I was hoping as well…. Hopefully there’s a gradual climb to the top with more AirPlay.
@@MarloAlvarez7 I doubt it. I can see it going down. Streaming services are pretty high for Mariah Carey. Or just Christmas songs in general. Everyone just needs to buy the song and stop streaming it every Christmas Holiday. 🤣😂
She’s so genuine and talented! She deserves all the praise and can’t wait to see what’s she does.
I like that she has an actual notebook, I love that more people are going old school.
I feel the same. There’s something special about a physical object that you can touch and feel versus something digital. It’s there but it’s not.
Kevin Parker being amazing once again
She's so sharp. I love how articulate she is here
Yes that too, I forgot to mention it in my comments, she is incredibly articulate and full of creativity and expression, I am extremely proud of her but who the heck am I lol 😂❤❤
You know when you hear a Dua Lipa song starting to play you're about to have a great time! She's one of a kind. And I seriously cannot decide which one of her songs is my favorite. They're all fantastic!
This song gives me Confessions on a Dancefloor meets Thriller. Love it.
the music video gives me hung up vibes though I don't know why lol
@@brockhamilton-ol5unagree, it’s the dance studio 😄
That opening bass synth in this song caught me immediately as well when I first heard this song. On headphones it sounds insane but amazing.
Proof that she's so passionate in making music 😊
And stole songs from other artists yeah 😂
i love how she can self-analyze her talent and the way its progressing and is hyper-aware of how its evolving and can put that into words and communicate it to the interviewer
I.E. recognizing that touring Made her voice stronger and recognizing that and putting it into her new album
She's a sharp Cookie!
Her voice is mesmerizing 😍
Her accent is also simply impeccable❤❤❤
Omg so excited to hear the rest of the album because Houdini is such a bop
I like that she seem to work hard for her craft. Singing, writting, and dancing.
houdini will make you dance. It doesn't matter if you're in a bakery or in a club, it will physically make you dance. That's magic, get it?
I agree. It's a great song. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Her music is fire 🔥
Her voice is so therapeutic.
She feels different in this interview. More real. I like it!
Calling it now: Next host/musical guest for SNL
I bloody love this woman and her talent. ❤ So fantastic to watch her grow as an artist. Plus Houdini is a straight up banger.
don't even mention that bridge though 😍😍😍😍
She is simply EXTRAORDINARY. Thank you Rolling Stone & DUA for this interview. I enjoy listening to the making of her songs so much! SOOO INSPIRING 💕
97 songs, I believe it. Artists are like that. I wrote 70,000 words for a 25,000 word novel and created 400 illustrations to whittle down to about 30. It’s just how the creative process works
one of very few real pop stars right now. she is just so consistent and always improves on what came before
She is so engaging in interviews and super bright, I saw her at the Hay Book Festival this year discussing her life and her book review podcast - I was really impressed - saw Stormzy the following day at the same festival talking about his publishing company and he was equally impressive - this track is another sure fire winner, always love the rich tone in her vocal
her voice is so soothing, I hope in a few years she's able to do a trilogy tour starting with future nostalgia
Now this is an interview that I've been waiting for.. Thank you for sharing your creative insight.. 💕
5:50
Extended mix? Third verse? Oh that better be released!
This is giving me Mariah and her house remixes with additional verses, can’t wait!
She is just on another level ❤
42 and climbing
its like every song she makes it's always on the charts, i can definitely see her becoming more famous than Taylor Swift
@@brockhamilton-ol5un Shes already as famous as she can only get bigger.
I knew it! Houdini screams for an Extended Mix. Can't wait...
The artist drop a song and people be like “flop” only listen 3 seconds, they dont understand the hard work put the singer, producers and songwriters behind that
Those people are dumb af
Yes ! Please release the extended version 🙏
We NEED the extensed version ... I know this song is a decent lengh but i wanted more 👀👀
I can listen to her talk aaaall day long
Houdini is a big hit, appreciate it so much
An amazing human being ❤️ love u dua
So cool this way of filming and giving us a chance to look behind the scenes 🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥
You forget how thick her accent is! This woman is so,so, talented. And absolutely gorgeous. One of my favorite singers ever!❤🥰 Oh, and the coke, cherry,red, hair is stunning! Watch this hair color, become super popular, this holiday season.💋
She sounds like an English person. Not sure what 'thick' accent she has. I detect a yank.
Really excited to hear the B-Sides of the 97 Songs that didn't make it
Thanks for this interview!
You got ONE more Plus in My Book with this Dua! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😘🌹❤️😎🇫🇮
I've been here for Dua since 2017 DL1 and I will be a forever admirer of her even her albums got to DL1000. This lady is really a full package, that's my ultimate crush #dualipa❤
Houdini made me a fan lol
I really love the instrumental in the middle of the song, makes the song an earworm!
I started with a couple of Dua's songs in my Liked Songs folder including Houdini, then I heard Training Season and boom, hooked, it's a big list now ❤❤
7:54 this is something i’ve been wanting more artists to do. when i’ve watched live versions of songs recently, the live adjustments and additions 100x better than the original but instead of enjoying both versions equally i get annoyed how the artist didn’t do live version as a studio version, so this is wonderful to hear!
Wow. Big fan here. This video is the first time letting me know how Dua is involved in the process. Didn’t know she is that involved. I like all albums she puts so far. So excited to be able to listen to her new album. Just moved to Toronto. Please have a show here!
Could listen to her speak all day, lovely speaking (and singing) voice 💖
So much insight into how the creative process really works. A lot of work, some luck, and lots of collaborators. She said she had to write some bad stuff before the good stuff came out. Marketing guru Seth Godin says the exact same thing about how the creative process works.
I'm sorry I'm commenting so much, I'm just so blown away by her. She is brilliant and so talented.
same
I love this dancey 💃 song. It has cool psychedelic sounds for sure! ❤️ It's a great song all around! I feel like dancing to it. I have really enjoyed Duas music since the beginning. 😊🎉🎉🎉 I love this interview and hear her talking about the making of the music, song and album. Wow, loveliness that she wrote 97 songs. How cool is the "foldy" page and the one with Houdini. Fabulous!🎉🎉🎉
Kevin parker is a real musical genius, my god 🤯❤️
Dua lipa is just awsome! Love her style 👌🔥
I love dua so much her voice is ugh its different, i dont listen to female artists much cuz i feel they sound the same ish. But wen i heard duas voice instantly in love.
Brilliant writing. Thank you!
WE LOVE YOU HERE IN THE NORTHEAST!
USA
NEW ENGLAND
We need the extended version now 🙂
Thank god you found that beat because the track Houdini is fantastic especially the extended version.
Shes an all around artist. She writes, she sings, she dances. Shes an overall great package!
I love how cool Dua is, and how cool Dua has become. I laughed out loud at the ease of describing her notebook. Just a CVS notebook. 😊 Felt great how much the book matters to her- something tangible. Really cool.
We are so here for the extended club mix!
Love this Dua! Hope you’re doing well my friend!
Crazy how radical optimism will be trimmed to just 11 tracks
i bet these new songs in the album will be more like the last melody with the guitar at the end of Houdini.
Nobody else is noticing that?!?!? I could listen to her talk forever, I love her so much!
7:31 this is random but I LOVE the way she says "um" so much lol.
What a team to work together on these songs and make them excellent.
So sad Kevin Parker’s monstrous talent is wasted on this music
I like that cycle of 7ths. Bb, A, G, F. Very suspenseful and fun!
SHE IS SO TALENTED ❤❤❤❤
Love love the concept of this song. Self worth will keep you from never just settling for the way it may be with one person love❤
So loved hearing her say the word ' tea'. In my mind, I associate her with that word.
Wow, these insights were amazing!😮
OBSESSED with Houdini…her best song ever so far!!!
I agree 24 hours after making a decision is a perfect gage for your authentic feedback.
DUA IS THE BEST
Can't wait for the extended club version💃🕺💃🕺
She's a force to be reckoned with - love her creativity!!
Amazing! Hope she comes to Belo Horizonte some day
IM SO EXCITED FOR THE ALBUM!!!!!!
I NEED PURPLE DISCO MASCHINE X HOUDINI (EXTENDED VERSION) !!!!!
Woah 98 songs I’ll have to be on one ❤
DUA LOOKS GOOD WITH THE RED HAIR!
Beautiful talented AND a good human being ❤❤❤
esse cabelo ta tao lindo e combinou tanto com ela to ansioso pro dl3 houdini msc do ano!!
What an engaging, talented, smart young woman she is.
Thanks Dua, great work and great songs.
I am beyond excited , I love love tame impala and So the collab with Kevin will be out of this world I feel it 🔥
one thing about dua lipa... she's gonna make a hit
Dua = beautiful inside and out lots of love and respect to you from Melbourne Oz down under 🇦🇺♥️🙂
I don’t care what anyone says, Dua is the biggest superstar in music today.
Love this girl All of her music is just magical, :)
Love Houdini, one of your best! Keep going cause' you're the Best! Hugs and kisses!
That iconic beat that sounds like a guitar on Dua Lipa's "Houdini" soundtrack reminds me of "Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson." That electric piano melody is very that era similar to intro theme song for the "Stranger Things" TV drama series. The title, "Houdini" is proof that training season is completely over when it comes to Dua Lipa's ability to create telepathic music, productions, writings, amongst other skills and abilities; along with the audio-visual music video storylines, print media, radio, and commercial side of things. Her red carpet appearances and taste in clothing lines and jewelry are out of this world. Her storylines, though, whether they be storylines on headline news, media outlets and album titles, keep morphing and evolving into a bigger and higher stage in life as seen and heard from similar iconic music artists of Dua's caliber. Completely grasping a broader reach of audiences and finding a middle ground for worldwide listeners and streamers to connect with Dua mentally, spiritually, and emotionally with her voice, lyrics, and talent. Keep up the amazing work Dua. I'm looking forward to listening more of your music and to watch more of you actress capabilities on TV screen taking on iconic film roles. 🙌🏻 #IAmNotArgylle
I LOVE HER VOICE
She is amazing one word thats it ❤❤❤
Wonderful dua, very beautiful, what great music and what a great Houdini song.
Dua lipa is a charmer and her songs are so original ♥
Dua last dance was a perfect song ❤
3:30 i love that she says she "lived with" the song for a bit. As a songwriter this speaks to me. Sometimes you pour your heart out onto the page in a single five minute sitting, and sometimes you have to walk away from your work to know what it needs or to get a fresh perspective.
That moog in the verse sounds so good.
She has made some Bangers!!!
omg she is so talented 😍
