Dua Lipa is an acclaimed English and Albanian singer and songwriter, born on August 22, 1995. Her work, particularly noted for her mezzo-soprano vocal range and disco-influenced production, has brought her significant acclaim and numerous accolades, including six Brit Awards, three Grammy Awards, and two Guinness World Records. Before her music career skyrocketed, she worked as a model, but she gained prominence with her self-titled debut album in 2017. This album included hit singles like "Be the One," "IDGAF," and "New Rules," and earned her the Brit Awards for British Female Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act. Her second album, "Future Nostalgia" (2020), which featured hits such as "Don't Start Now" and "Levitating," solidified her reputation by becoming her first UK number-one album and winning the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album. Her new song "Houdini" is set for release on November 10, 2023. It's part of an artistic shift for Lipa, moving from her disco roots towards a 1970s-era psychedelia. The build-up to "Houdini" saw Lipa engage with her audience through cryptic social media posts, including a teaser hinting at the song's title, which references the renowned illusionist Harry Houdini, and draws a parallel with a similarly titled song by British singer Kate Bush from 1982. The songwriting and production of "Houdini" involve several collaborators, including Kevin Parker, Danny L Harle, Caroline Ailin, and Tobias Jesso Jr., with Parker also contributing to backing vocals, production, and multiple instrumentations.
