Dua Lipa is gearing up for her next album, as she will seemingly be kickstarting it with her upcoming new single, “Houdini.” A few days ago, Lipa revealed that fans in London would be getting a surprise event this Thursday, but it seems she is starting the festivities early.
BBC’s music correspondent, Mark Savage, went viral on Twitter after taking a photo of her listening party. She held it right outside the organization’s office.
Lipa, wearing a black jacket and some sunglasses, smiles, as a man appears to be listening to it with wired headphones. BBC’s security team surrounds the small but fun event with colorful flags, and even one member is standing on a stepstool with a disco ball just to bring the party vibes.
“Congratulations, you are the first person to hear Dua Lipa’s brand new song,” read the banner in the back of the photo.
