I just feel like it’s such a big part of me.”In a four-star review of Lipa’s new track ‘Houdini’, NME said: “The track rides on a muddy, intricate bassline and wiry keys and ends on a fuzz-laden riff, both of which possess a groove of their own but also add a bit of grit to Lipa’s irresistible gleam.
