Dua makes magic, La Cruz goes easy, Zach Benson wants you to take a hint: Your weekly bop roundup
We won’t keep you waiting, dig into this week’s edition of “bop after bop” below……Don’t blink, you may miss her because Dua Lipa isn’t here for long with “Houdini”.
The elusive lead single from Dua’s upcoming third album is a pop smash upon arrival, commanding us to the dancefloor just as she did with 2020’s Future Nostalgia, which saw the singer taking her career to new heights by crafting a true pop era, and doing so, gaining our trust as a popstar that we know can deliver.
And deliver she did with a song that is brimming with a bright, funky bongo line and a steady, pulsating beat that bursts into electronic euphoria nearing the track’s closing, due to collaborator Kevin Parker’s signature dramatic, descending synth lines.
It’s a taunting track that may beg for attention lyrically, but sonically, Dua doesn’t need to tell us twice to keep our eyes on her.La Cruz is on a mission to usher in a new era of reggaeton.
