I think the way it's going, 'Houdini' might go on to become my favourite Dua single and I was adamant there was no way 'Don't Start Now' could be topped. I still can't get enough of it, it sounds just as good as when I first heard it and it's so addictive it's unreal. Houdini is timeless pop...I swear people in 5 years from now will be saying 'How come this didn't become a HUGE smash hit!!!' |

I’ve concluded it’s very Kelly Clarkson trajectory with FN being Breakaway and RO being My December especially since both FN and B peaked at #3 in the US, and the follow ups looking to both peak at #2 despite being underperformances of sorts (obviously jury is still out with RO)

I mean this album is utterly **** but Houdini is one of the best songs in the last 10 years so she can take that x

But if she ends up performing there I will never forgive myself and probably blame my friend and his Easter for life!!! |

Ok so she performed at Times Square.
She did Training Season, Houdini, Happy For You and Illusion. It was very lowkey and it was raining outside lol but she gave us great vocals!!! |

I've given the album a few listens now so I think I can come to a conclusion.
The majority of the album is great but the singles really stand out as being excellent. The root issue of the tracks that I don't like right now is being too generic I think? Anyway, there were obviously some fantastic ideas throughout the album and the melodies are really catchy. At least it doesn't have any tracks as bad as 'Good In Bed' or 'Boys Will Be Boys' Highlights: 'Houdini', 'Training Season', 'Whatcha Doing', 'Illusion', 'Falling Forever', 'Maria', 'Happy For You' |
